United Healthcare CEO assassinated.

Yeah as a former customer, I am not sure how I feel about this. United Healthcare is a grifter of an organization and anyone who does business with them knows how they operate.

The fact this man made 22 million and United Health put up 10k reward for the killer is evident of how this company values human life. If you want to make a change then sue them make legal arguments or kick their ponzi scheme of insurance out of hospitals and health care clinics. This will make things worse for their customers not better.
 
I am a former employee of UHC, back in the late 80's and early 90's. AT THAT TIME, they were a good company. Our manager used to walk through periodically and remind us, We are in business to pay claims. (And we weren't even claims adjusters; we were customer service reps who had no power to actually pay a claim ourselves.) The fact that they have deteriorated to this point is likewise sad.

Not sure if a medical healthcare provider should make huge profit millionaires CEOs driven by money and power to benefit off the medical needs of others. It puts an undo incentive on valuing company profits over people health care. In this new environment you do not have many choices but United Healthcare is the benchmark on what a bad healthcare company is and can do. That it use to be a good company and changed though out time to value shareholders and company greed, speaks volumes. I am sure they will find the killer since they have the persons face, but the DOJ had an open investigative complaint against this CEO.

This needs to change, United Healthcare is an example of what of corporate greedy company that evaluates company profits over the lives of their insured.
 
UHC is a terrible company, BCBS is better. I find it ironic that the 10k reward put up for the CEOs death is the exact amount recovered to Optum which went back to UHC for first party insurance coverage on myself.

Here is a CEO who came up with an AI process to automatically deny claims, got UHC profits up to $90 billion on revenue of $450 billion via killing millions of Americans in the process. I do not call that talent or being brilliant. I call it profiting off the death of others.

Good Riddance and I pray and wish that UHC would change their approach to healthcare. If you have options no one in their right mind should ever do business when it comes to healthcare with UHC.

I've been reading a lot of comments on Threads about this. None are particularly sympathetic.

My parents had UHC for their Medicare supplemental insurance. for quite a number of years. There were occasional hoops to jump (especially when one or the other had to go to rehab), but nothing crazy. Except the price - $289/mo - and the prescription prices were high. Dad was diabetic, and one of his meds was $1000/mo!

A few years before Dad passed, they switched to Medicare Advantage plan through Clover. No extra expense over Medicare Part A, and the meds? The $1000 one was... $36/mo. They were great during Covid - would regularly call to offer help in getting meds delivered, setting up telehealth appts, and getting Mom vaxed. Very easy to work with wrt hospital or rehab stays. Made hospice very smooth. After Mom passed, they called regularly for a year to offer grief counseling.

The ALLEGED shooter, says NYPD.



News outlets report the following relative to the purported shooter:

A behavioral expert has cast doubt on the police's description of the prime suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Dr. Susan Constantine, who doubles as a forensic consultant, has offered her insights as law enforcement continues to hunt for the assailant responsible for the fatal shooting. NYPD officials have characterized the suspect as a light-skinned, slender man standing around 6-foot-1, last seen wearing a ski mask, a hoodie in light brown or cream, black and white sneakers, and carrying a distinctive gray backpack on the day of the crime.

However, after scrutinizing the surveillance video, Dr. Constantine has proposed that the suspect may not be as tall as initially thought. She pegs the shooter's stature at roughly 5-foot-9, which is nearly four inches shorter than the height reported by the police.

I can't edit in this thread, but I wanted to add this: It's a pet peeve of mine when folks add needless words seemingly for the sole purpose of upping their word count.
