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.
I’m guessing he didn’t consider the LIFO nature of a clip when loading, and “depose” is his answer to “delay, deny, defend”. So he put depose, defend, and deny into the CEO in that order
I think you’re right. I’m sure it was loaded with delay, deny, defend, depose.
Kinda ironic he didn’t have time to shoot “delay” when you think about it.
