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.

    Yeah no. Gun ownership in the USA is fucking crazy. How the fuck can a country have regular school shootings and not ban guns or at least regulate them slightly.

          without receipts or red tape. Most countries have a licensing program for firearms.

          It would be trivial to mandate each state license gun owners in order to purchase firearms but we don’t even do that.

      regulate them slightly

      I would encourage you to educate yourself. If you honestly think there is not even slight regulation of gun ownership, then you are not informed on this issue.
