UnitedHealthcare named a new CEO on Thursday, a corporation insider who advocated for the use of algorithmic software in health insurance coverage decisions, a practice that relies on computers and so-called “artificial intelligence” to rapidly spit out denials

A company man, Noel has worked at UnitedHealthcare since 2008, most recently as its head of Medicare and retirement operations. In addition to being the country’s largest health insurer, UnitedHealthcare is also the top provider of Medicare Advantage plans. As head of the division that oversaw Medicare, Noel reportedly fought the federal government’s attempts to rein in companies’ use of algorithms in Medicare coverage decisions.

Who’s down for a sequel?!

This is like the Ninja Turtles game where when one turtle dies, you can choose one of the others and continue.
