Clarence Thomas<\/strong><\/p>\n

The corruption allegations<\/a>\u00a0against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas are only getting worse after a review discovered last week that\u00a0the RV-loving, yacht-riding, jet-setting judge<\/a>\u00a0did not recuse himself from a 2004 health insurance case despite a clear conflict of interest.<\/p>\n

In 1999, Thomas\u00a0took a $267,230 loan<\/a>\u00a0from health insurance executive Anthony Welters to buy a motor coach, a term he will defend more vehemently than the well-being of the nation\u2019s populace. Welters was CEO of AmeriChoice when he gave Thomas the loan. The executive claims it was just money given to a friend\u2026 who happened to serve on the Supreme Court\u00a0when they met.<\/a>\u00a0The HMO would be acquired by UnitedHealth in 2002, where he remained an executive. While Justice Thomas recused himself from two cases involving UnitedHealth,\u00a0Rolling Stone<\/a>\u00a0found that not only he participated in a case but he also wrote the court\u2019s unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

Aetna Health Inc. v. Davila, the 2004 case in question, confirmed that insurers couldn\u2019t be held liable for malpractice when the health plan denies\u00a0life-saving or medically necessary treatment.<\/a>\u00a0While UnitedHealth wasn\u2019t a named party in the case, the decision had massive ramifications for the entire healthcare industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
