Summary

Reddit’s r/medicine moderators deleted a thread where doctors and users harshly criticized murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Comments, including satirical rejections of insurance claims for gunshot wounds, targeted UHC’s reputation for denying care to boost profits.

Despite the removal, similar discussions continue, with medical professionals condemning UHC’s business practices under Thompson’s leadership, which a Senate report recently criticized for denying post-acute care.

Thompson, shot in what appears to be a targeted attack, led a company notorious for its high claim denial rates, fueling ongoing debates about corporate ethics in healthcare.

    It can both be sad for his family in a way that everyone can recognise, and also not sad in the slightest, at the same time.

      Fuck his family too if they cared about this parasite. He’s responsible for thousands of other families losing their loved ones.

      Fuck his family. They lived lavish lives off our suffering. No sympathy.

        Ah yes, sins of the father. Traditionally the best way to carry on grudges for hundreds of years.

          And I didn’t choose to be born to a disabled father and left with a lifetime of trauma due to the health insurance companies. Fuck his family. Zero sympathy. I hope his kids and wife suffer the same way my mother and I have. They won’t. We lost the house. They’ve got millions. FUCK THEM.

        Idk, it’s not like his kids had a choice where they were born (assuming they’re young, I have no idea)
