I like how the United Healthcare CEO is greyed out like a completed boss in Mega Man.
Well shit. Who’s the secret boss after they all get greyed out then?
Capitalism
It’s a double boss fight with Adam Smith and John Locke
We have Marx and Engels
Donald Trump
The guy that narrowly escaped in stage 1 back in July
Their salary shouldn’t matter as much as their insurance claim denial rates.
For real, Thompson might be the lowest on the list, but United had some of the highest denial rates. And I bet they’re damn proud of the rates too.
Cool, now let’s compare their addresses
And their
work schedulesoffice hours (because who are we kidding, they do no work).(because who are we kidding, they do no work)
Well, they might have to walk if no golf carts are available…
If there are no golf carts, they could afford to call in a helicopter to air drop one for them. This wealth is obscene.
This is true; adversity in their world would be the limo driver showing up late.
I bet that would make them have angry face for at least an hour.
I think it’s more about denied claims. UHC denies more than 30% of claims whereas most other insurers range between 10-20%. UHC denies the most claims by a big margin. This is likely to make you some enemies.
10-20 percent is still insanely high, considering the amount of cases were taking about here. Even just one percent would be thousands suffering for no better reason than profits.
I think we need to accept that there are some fraudulent claims filed that should be denied. I have no idea what the percentage is or how to determine it, but I would think it is below 10%, probably below 5%.
Man, think about how much better the world would be if insurance companies were automatically audited with greater than 5% denials.
What a fantastic idea. You should run for office.
Better to accept a few fraudulent claims than deny a legitimate one IMO, but then again I’m not CEO material (I care about people)
I see zero reason for it to not be both. These people are all your enemy, as is everyone above them in the chain.
UHC denies more than 30% of claims
Universal healthcare denies claims? What?
…

Core dumped
Segmentation fault
French know how to segment
United Healthcare.

I think this is why his photo was already grey.
I thought the same joke just need red circles around the rest haha
woah that’s so crazy. I’ve got this DIY submarine they should come ride in
I’d donate to that crowd-funding 👍
I’ve got this DIY submarine too, it’s a 55 gallon drum with a bunch of scrap metal tied to the side as ballast. Guaranteed to be a comfortable ride!
I’m not getting in unless it is piloted using an offbrand xbox controller.
And the only destination I’ll accept is the Titanic.
Whaddaya mean it’s a “pile of junk not fit for a river crossing”? Sounds like you don’t appreciate true innovation.
Reminder, at 20M per year you have to work ten thousand years to earn 200B, which is the realm Musk is in…
Certainly a very valid point, and hopefully we’re building up to that (bigger money comes with much tighter security), but I do think the people so directly sacrificing people’s lives for profit shouldn’t be overlooked.
Yeah, and as I posted somewhere else, 10.2M is only a measly $196.000 a weak… /s
Such a low salary. Bet we all can work all our whole lives and not even get half of 10.2M in total.
This photo is notably missing Andrew Witty the CEO of UnitedHealth Group the parent company of UnitedHealthcare of which Brian Thompson was CEO. Andrew Witty made $23.5m last year.
I bet that guy is finding sleep elusive.
He probably has 10-15 federal Marshalls outside his bedroom as we speak, pulling guard duty.
On our dime.
For sure, but I’d like to believe there is a fresh new fear in their minds. Kinda like what if the doc finds something serious and I go bankrupt from the treatment.
I hope his request for sleeping pills gets denied by his insurance.
I wonder how many UHC members have found sleep difficult while nauseated, in pain, and dying because of care they were denied by UHC.
That’s an very interesting looking Bingo card.

WHY are they getting paid SO GODDAMN MUCH MONEY??
THIS IS NOT WHY WE GAVE TAX BREAKS
FYI this is out of date for CVS. Karen Lynch got fired and replaced by David Joyner a month ago.
Unless she got fired for whistleblowing, I think we can still count her, but it is good to stay up to date, thanks!
I remember she tried to overhaul their drug cost model to be less opaque and supposedly cheaper for consumers. Doesn’t seem like it ended up happening from my point of view. CVS is my PBM and keeps raising the cost for generics to the point where it’s cheaper to buy them without using insurance from an online pharmacy.
But I wouldn’t want the new jerk who replaced her to escape attention, seeing as he came from the PBM business and is likely the reason for my above complaint.
Oh yeah, I completely support getting these people’s names and photos out there.
With a name like that you know she’s got it coming
i care less about their compensation than the profit their companies made denying care to a volume of humans. do we have those numbers?
There’s a direct correlation. Where do you think the money comes from?
Then why UnitedHealthcare is the highest denier in at least these stats?
This. Think about all the medical care these salaries could have provided. These people provide no value for their customers. Not a single patient received better care because of the CEO of their heath insurance provider.
United was the #1 claim denier as a percentage
Agreed. Otherwise you run into:
No, I don’t get paid to deny coverage and let people die. I enjoy it so much I do it for free!
Mmmmm, this guy was in the news for implementing AI strategy to deny health care I believe
Isn’t that the literal origin story of the Jigsaw Killer in the Saw movies? Or something like that?
Not very much, just $196.000 a week.
…
I dont know why but 196k a week infuriates me so much more than 20mil a year
That’s why we accept billionaires, it’s too mindboggling to understand.
Right. It’s like hey I wanna hire you for a job. I’m quite generous so I’m going to offer you $50/hour. And I am also going to pay you 24/7, working, not working, sleeping, doesn’t matter. Then for some reason I’m going to back pay you all the way to year 0. So you’ll get that pay rate for the last 2024 years on the spot.
You’re still not a billionaire.
(approx $887,100,984 in case you’re wondering)
196k a week
That’s 19.44$ per minute.
What the FUCK
they are all small compared to the shareholders who likely decide the company policies more than the CEOs
Here’s a twist - YOU are the shareholder. One of them.
well I sure am somehow buying products that probably goes to one of the shareholders’ pockets that is for sure.
No, you are the shareholder because you receive your salary into a bank account which then automatically gets invested (and unless your bank is ripping you off you should be getting a monthly interest) and you have a pension which is also invested. You are an ACTUAL shareholder.
there is no monthly interest in regular accounts here unless you put it in a savers account. but yes I do and I know that my pension usually invests the money too without much flexibility on where to invest it in. so unless you are Ron Swanson there is no complete disconnection from this web. but the fix is easy: all I have to say is “individually major share holder” since those will be the ones deciding about company policies not me.
I think any company whose only shareholders are made up of people holding 0.000001% in shares wont suffer from the same consequences a company does when there are shareholders like %10, 20, 30 etc. Same difference between having billions or hundred thousands.
First, I always like to recognize good image transcription, thank you OP.
I really dislike violence, and would never advocate for it; a just society offers better more evolved means of accountability and remedy.
But the idea that it should feel dangerous to be a billionaire resonates down to my marrow.
Yeah I agree, but we dont really live in that society anymore. All attempts at reform are sidelined and corporate interests are put over our own constantly. I don’t like it either, but people have a breaking point and they can only take so much. If we had a stronger aca that wasn’t gutted by industry maybe there wouldn’t have been motive here.
Unfortunately, the ACA was gutted before it was signed. While it reduced the number of uninsured (by a lot), it is ultimately just another way public money could be funneled into these insurance companies.
But we don’t live in a just society.
I really dislike violence
There is many types of violence,
It isnt just physics one.Yeah, everyone gets upset about physical violence, but so few people care about the systemic violence perpetuated against the lower classes.
And that’s really beyond my understanding…
Is systemic violence not a subgroup of physical violence? Is violence not per definition physical? I’m confused.
No, not all violence is physical, and while systemic violence can be violent, it very often isn’t. But it’s any damage or harmful action that’s carried out through normal operation.
Systemic violence against the poor includes economic and social violence, like tax cuts, safety regulations repealed, or social programs being shutdown. None of these forms of systemic violence are physical, but it’s yet another metaphorical hit against people who can barely stand as it is. The racism baked onto the system (shit like redlining) isn’t necessarily physically violent, but it hurts and kills people all the same. Hell, the UHC guy getting killed and everyone cheering is because shit like the insurance industry is systemically violent against its consumers.
The nonviolent forms of systemic violence due regularly lead to physical violence, such as houseless populations being rousted and their encampments torn down because it’s easier to be cruel than suffer the eyesore and help people.
But the idea that it should feel dangerous to be a billionaire resonates down to my marrow.
There are no accidental billionaires. They’re sociopaths trying to win the game against the other billionaires and the ills inflicted upon the common person is just collateral damage.
