Summary
The fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has drawn attention due to the phrase “deny, defend, depose” reportedly written on the shooter’s ammunition, echoing criticism of insurer practices like “delay, deny, defend.”
UnitedHealthcare, one of the largest U.S. health insurers, has faced scrutiny over claim denials and delays, including a Senate report highlighting issues with Medicare Advantage prior authorizations.
The killing has sparked public outrage and dark humor on social media, reflecting widespread frustration with health insurers, which many blame for rising healthcare costs and access barriers.
It sure would be a shame if the 99% of New York state saw and heard nothing of interest about this guy.
What guy? The CEO was carrying the gun and tripped, shooting himself in the back. We all saw the video.
I mean if Jan 6 was peaceful… yeah… we all saw it he tripped
He tripped and fell on his knife. Six times.
He seems smart. He’s probably long gone by now.
Probably from out of state, not acting alone. He ran, got on a bike, probably to a waiting car to leave the city immediately. I heard he’s in Canada now.
