As Oliver covered in the episode, they also make money hand-over-fist by encouraging ‘upcoding’ to extract maximum dollars from the government. So they’re simultaneously denying coverage (to save money) which is harming and killing people, while charging exorbitant prices to the consumers (to make money), while also stealing taxes allocated to help those people (to make even more money). It’s a triple-whammy.
