In 2023 I had United Health Care as my Healthcare provider. They had $22B+ in profits in 2023. Starting in 2024 they dropped UVM Health Network (a non profit) from their in-network coverage. How can this be allowed? Where can I express my opinion on the matter and at least attempt to have it heard? Thank you.

United Health Care isn't a healthcare provider; it's an insurance company. They, like every other health insurance company, actively fight to deny healthcare to people, so they're kind of the opposite of a healthcare provider. They make money by denying coverage.

But the others are right: Congress.
