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.
Dear asshole, we hate everything about your industry. Signed, fucking everyone except a few other rich assholes.
This topic is bringing the left and the right together. This affects all of us! Medicare for all is the way!
My Trump voting parents and sister agree. Democrats for some reason weren’t even talking about it in the election season, almost like their silence had been purchased by big medicine. Maybe this needs to be a national grassroots movement that rolls straight over our elected idiots.
State level electoral reform will break the two party system and usher in the non violent revolution jfk talked about so many years ago.
