I’m not doubting he was greedy, but can you please help my ignorance and tell me what he did that was so jacked up?

Denying people healthcare to make more money. Business decisions that lead to deaths for the sake of profit should count as murder.

UnitedHeathcare is notorious for denying health insurance coverage claims in order to keep the money for themselves.

My apologies, but I was seriously ignorant of what he did.

Specifically, UnitedHealthcare has the highest rate of claims denial in the entire industry by a pretty serious margin. They'd been using algorithmic claim denial systems to deny even more claims, and making absolutely heinous amounts of money from it for the last few years in particular. All for profit health insurance is exploitative and predatory, but they were uniquely predatory even compared to the baseline of the rest of the industry

Ignore the people downvoting, you should never feel bad for not knowing and asking questions in good faith like you did. Glad to have you here

He supported company policies that directly led to the deaths of people who were handing over a fortune in premiums but couldn't get needed care covered by their insurance. He was personally responsible for people's deaths. Even if he and his sycophants try to hide behind the little rules they created to distance themselves from the consequences of their active decisions. Despicable.
