Opening Doors Together

I am sharing this as I applaud this brave act of whistle blowing and how the journal stood by not retracting the publication when UHC tried to intimidate with a lawsuit they filed for “defamation”. I hope more of us have this bravery. UnitedHealth paid bonuses to nursing homes to help reduce residents’ hospital transfers and used improper sales tactics to get nursing home residents to sign up for the company’s Medicare Advantage plans. “Our clients’ disclosures reveal that UHC materials mandate caregivers pressure elderly patients into signing “Do Not Resuscitate” (DNR) orders by misleading them into thinking their conditions are worse than they are – including imminent death. And UHC then relies on these DNR orders denying patients any critical care which minimizes costs incurred by UHC.” I can’t….even picture in my head. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/10/unitedhealth-investigation-whistleblower-nursing-homes

Legal Action: UnitedHealth sought damages and a forced retraction.
• Ongoing Scrutiny: Despite the lawsuit, by January 2026, US senators were investigating the same nursing home issues raised in the investigation.

Attention comes in wake of ex-employees’ allegations that insurer paid nursing homes to reduce hospital transfers and used improper tactics to gain Medicare Advantage enrollees

Behind every window is a story you might not see, and a burden you might not know someone is carrying. You never know what someone is going through.

Today is , a reminder that you don’t need to be an expert to listen, sometimes being there is enough. One conversation might not solve everything, but it lets someone know they aren't facing their "behind-the-scenes" alone.

Who are you checking in on today?

I am not neutral. I will always be on the side of common decency and due process for everyone. I believe in the golden rule. Hatred has no home here.

Neutrality and silence are statements

This is the season I am currently in. How about you?

There are moments when slowing down feels like falling behind, but it is often the opposite. Life has a way of asking you to pause when something inside you needs space to breathe, integrate, or finally be felt. This is not a punishment. It is an invitation to stop outrunning your own becoming.

Some growth cannot keep pace with constant motion. It needs stillness, patience, and your willingness to listen instead of push. When you allow yourself to move at the speed of meaning, you begin to notice what has been waiting for you all along.

Slowing down is sometimes how you finally arrive.
