Dear readers
I am pleased to share the news today that four Stat reporters have won the George W. Polk Award, one of the finest decorations in the American press, for their series, which highlights how Unitedhealth Group has unparalleled an unparalleled empire to enhance its profits and expand its influence.
A long time before the killing last December, Supreme Executive Directors ignited an unusual interest in the United Health, and journalists Bob Hermann, Tara Bano, Casey Ross, Lazy Lawrence realized that the anti -competition behavior of the bloc as a owner and modern disturbance of the team. Regardless of months due from our investigative focus.
By granting Polk for Health Care Proutesions, the referees said that “Colossus Health Care” from Stat was “an hacker series of six parts studying the massive spread of the UNITEDHELTH group in every aspect of the broken health care system. This series focuses on how the group is governing the system In order to profit at the expense of taxpayers, patients and doctors by providing the assembly line, which treats millions of patients as products to be liquefied.
This is the third Polk Award for Stat over the past five years. Helen Branswell won the public service service to cover Covid-19; Matthew Herber, Adam Fuerchetein and Damian Gard won the medical reports category to unveil that Biogen used a FDA background to win with a controversial treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.
John Darton, a Polk Award Secretary, said that the winners announced today reflected “exceptional and sometimes wonderful reports” and “represent the best of the best.”
We also learned last week that the Colossus series is final in another prestigious competition, the National Journal Awards, in the public interest category. Stat is also the final of general excellence between private interests.
The shock from Washington knocks on the world of health and science, strict and reliable Stat reports from the capital, throughout the country, and in Europe more than ever. During the past few days, we have violated a story after the story, including the Trump administration plans to reduce thousands of health care functions, the expected destruction of the “Jewel of the Crown” “public health” and the consequences of the health of every American.
