"Killing people is wrong"
Uhhh, do the insurance companies know that?

[updatedjustnow]

This guy’s ANNUAL pay/bonus package was $10.2 MILLION. MILLION. PER YEAR. How many claims do you think were denied to cover that?

Correction: The US does not have a health system. It has a health industry. Profits first - people second.

The CEO wasn't experienced negative outpatient care.

[wymans]

Fun fact; If you deny paying your premium you lose coverage, but the company can deny coverage even when you have paid ALL your premiums.

[gwick]

If you pay for years to a health insurance company and then have coverage denied, that is breach of contract at minimum or fraud. The fact that it's allowed is disgusting.

“Killing people is wrong” yet health care insurance providers do this everyday when they Deny necessary life saving treatments

[swissarmyknight]

The media be like "We're shocked to learn that the guy running the extortion and murder factory has been murdered."

[ericb.]

"Dear police, we saw nothing. Sincerely, everyone."

[MercyOnMySoul]

Thousands of UnitedHealthCare members have died due to their policy of denying coverage. Has UnitedHealthCare ever shown any sorrow or regrets for this? My thoughts are with the families of those who have passed away.

[davidroberts]

The CEO died of pre-existing conditions. Concepts of thoughts and prayers.

[LucyBean]

Sorry. Your insurance doesn't cover sympathy. Even if it did, you didn't hit your $5, 000 deductible.

[Dsullivann]

Health insurance finally receiving the lack of empathy theyve been giving the consumers for decades.

[axiomaddict]

It’s not that people don’t want to “deal with the system”, it’s that we’re outgunned (lawyers, money) while we’re already diminished physically, emotionally, and cognitively. And they know it!

[Valjeandk]

It's illegal to kill people, unless you're a CEO who can do it by denying or delaying treatment.

[callmethreeone]

If no one's life is important to him, why should his be important to us?

[ryanb]

That CEO had more blood on his hands than most military commanders throughout history.

[ViperVizier]

I'm just saying this. Whoever hired that guy must have a heart of gold. And it is because they paid him to take out one guy and not his family. The CEO hurt the entire family when he denied a person's claim.

[bobblacka]

When I heard the news reports, the first thing that jumped out at me was that Thompson was going to an INVESTOR conference. Not a medical conference, but an investor conference. That says it all. You know where his priorities are. It's not about improving healthcare; it's about improving profits.

Remember, if you see the suspect out in public...

*...no you didn't.*
