Summary

UnitedHealth CEO Andrew Witty criticized public outrage over the health insurance industry following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson.

In a leaked video to staff, Witty dismissed criticism as “misinformation” and urged employees not to engage with media.

Thompson’s murder outside a Manhattan hotel has intensified scrutiny of the industry’s practices, with bullet casings found at the scene bearing phrases linked to insurance claim denial tactics.

The killing has sparked debate on UnitedHealthcare’s history of denying claims, while the shooter remains at large.

Witty faces unrelated DOJ insider trading allegations.

    You can tell he’s hiding in a hotel room somewhere from the background.

        The art in the background would probably narrow it down to at least a hotel company and possibly a region. The wall to the left seems kind of unique.
