Brave New Films reports on the enormous profits of United Healthcare CEO Stephen Hemsley (nearly three quarters of a billion dollars) and the suffering of Isabella, a four year-old girl in Wisconsin who is physically incapable of eating, has been tube fed her entire life and was denied coverage by United Healthcare; other children have been denied as well.
