When one of the first things you mention about him is “$280B of revenue” as though that’s a good thing in the context of health insurance, yeah, fuck you.
That much revenue isn’t, by itself, the bad part. Revenue is just how much you take in from your sales. If they had minimal overhead and paid the majority of that out to claims, that would be fine (in the context of our existing healthcare system). The problem is the profit, how much of that $280B goes into the company’s pockets instead of claim payouts.

So why mention the revenue figure?
Because they are trying to paint him as a productive member of society. Revenue is still the measure of how much business you do.
