Billionaire investor Bill Ackman has publicly supported Dr. Potter in a dispute with UnitedHealthcare (UHC), claiming that the company denied necessary post-surgical care and interfered during an operation. Ackman stated, "I believe Dr. Potter is telling the truth," as he pledged to fund her legal defense. This support comes after Ackman had to retract a previous post regarding UHC, which he removed following legal advice that the claims he shared were untrue. In response to the negative publicity, UnitedHealth has engaged a defamation law firm to address the allegations, particularly focusing on a plastic surgeon who accused the company of denying an inpatient stay for a patient after surgery. The situation has drawn scrutiny, with some observers questioning the accuracy of Ackman's claims to his 1.6 million followers.
