The selection logic is something like:

List GetNextSetOfLayoffs(){
return this.AllEmployees.Where(employee=>employee.Citizenship == "American" && employee.Nationality != "Indian");
}

They put your faces on a dart board at the bar. Dart lands on your face you are gone. If you are not involved in clinical work, your position will be off-shored, simple as that. Perhaps it will happen today, tomorrow, or the next day but it is just a matter of time. If they could do it in one shot they would so with that information the next decision is yours. Stay to train your replacement or simply move on as a lot of us have already done. I was told my job was moving to India and was asked if I would stay to train my replacement, I passed and retired immediately. Couple of years earlier than I would have liked but wish at this point I had done it much sooner. Optum is not worth my time or yours. If you are American, you are not wanted here.

The factors are: is it a bloated American salary with health insurance that doesn't need to be at a specific location and is not senior management C-suite?

If yes, move it offshore.
