So, when are the cops going to arrest all of em responsible for deaths of Americans who were denied insurance?

Thousands of eye witnesses can attest that Luigi was battling ghosts in a haunted mansion at the time of the incident.

If only authorities would investigate the preventable deaths caused by UnitedHealthcare as hard as they investigated the death of its CEO.

all of my sympathy to the people's claims (cancer, diabetes, heart disease etc) were denied by this company. They probably died horribly and silently at their home. I pray for all the people whose claims were denied. God Bless them.

Who else just clicks on the story then silences it immediately so they can get the real news from the comments?

[True_Ronin]

I already know more about this guy than both of Trump’s attempted assassins.

[rowdyways]

If the police and news treated every killing this way there would be less killings. I guess we all need money to make on the news

[ThomasG-ogyb]

It’s amazing how quickly they find the murderer when the victim is a rich oligarch. Our democracy is a sham.

They can't find out whose coke was at the Whitehouse, but they could find this guy.

[tvviewer]

Ok so give him no cash bail and a year of probation and we can all move on

[NjD....]

Has ties to SF.. what does that HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING??

[ana_goncalves]

Um.. no? He was here having a glass of wine with my husband and I that day

McDonalds workers cant even remember to get the fries in the bag, but remembered this dude's face and pointed this dude out to police. LOLOLOLOL....

[IlIKRATOSIlI]

A McDonalds employee who typically have no idea of what is going on around them noticed that this guy looked like him? LMAO!

[iqqmmcu]

McDonalds can't even get my order right . Whats the odds?

[bubbaj]

How many Americans die from Denied Health Care while paying for it for decades?

[mangographics]

So after several days he's strolling around with incriminating evidence still on him!?

[andrewhu]

Good luck finding a jury who doesnt cheer him when he walks in to the courtroom.

Cool facts about this dude: ‘’After he assumed the top position of UHC in 2021, Thompson oversaw an increase in there profits of the health insurance giant from $12 billion to $16 billion in 2023. Thompson received $10.2 million in executive compensation in 2023. UHC is notorious for its algorithm-driven denials of insurance claims. A report by FORBES on Thursday said that the company has the highest rate of claim denials, ‘’refusing an estimated one-third of claims submitted. Just such a nice guy, I am so sad this happened.

It's literally not the same guy. Bet they just grabbed someone, said close enough, and want to use this person as an example
