Gunshot wound is a preexisting condition. Health insurance denied Brian.

How many CEOs are googling the price of bulletproof windows RN

[ChiIeboy]

That's what you call _a CEO taking personal responsibility_ for his company's misdeeds. ⚖

[billyhorton]

"Healthcare insurance" and an "investment conference" are the real issues.

How many people aren’t alive anymore because Brian Thompson denied their claim? Just wondering!

[Starfish]

The shooter probably lost a family member due to UHC denying coverage

Are we sure it wasn't a pre-existing condition?

[GLEN-ysqt]

I would say the CEO rejected one too many legitimate claims!

[whimsicalhamster]

I think the best way to think about this is that the CEO asked for Prior Authorization to not get shot today and he was denied.

Karma. Even all the money in the world can’t always save you from judgment by your peers.

Fix the god damn healthcare system, most importantly fix the Medicaid system for VETERANS AND THE ELDERLY. This country which I am so proud to love needs to do better! The way we treat our aging elderly and veterans in need of assisted living is deplorable.

Hope this guy is never found, justice for someone today!

Motive is very clear to millions of Americans

[TheTrafficBoss]

I think all CEOs should live in fear of this everyday.

[Tamsuw]

I expect many people won't feel bad about this because too many have had medical care denied by this health insurance.

They say $10.000 but you’re really just gettin $750 🤷🏻‍♂️

[libbymaxey]

So it begins. “Pitchforks” are coming out.

[mshotz]

Looks like he's out of network now.

[RVH-iodr]

I feel just as bad for this insurance CEO as he did for the the many patients he denied coverage.

Pretty sure that backpack contains a change of clothes for his getaway. and maybe even a second collapsible backpack to store those black clothes and his current backpack.
