Hearts go out to all the families that prayed for their loved ones but they still died from lack of care from united healthcare

[GrantmaTom]

Are we sure that gunshot wound wasn't a pre-existing condition? Claim denied.

[beckettman]

We need a list of suspects, how many people have died as a result of denied claims from United?

[undercoverreseller]

One of the first times that the list of prime suspects would be in the millions

[federicotietz]

This has zero to do with street crime.

[go]

This has nothing to do with street crime, Joe.
Denied medical coverage of someone’s loved one’s own life.
People are FED UP! While people on top rake in profits as their claims get denied!

[bartjargengarblbargeler]

What would anyone have against a CEO of a health care corporation?

[danieldipalma]

I feel sorry for those that have suffered when their claims were denied by healthcare companies.

[jgjg]

Hmm, targeted? Seems like a very clear message is being sent to insurance companies here. Maybe y'all need to really think about all those indiscriminate denials of coverages you engage in that lead to death and destruction in people's lives.

[skillz]

He made 23 mill a Year meanwhile regular hard-working citizens can't get affordable healthcare.

[jordanmartin]

I wonder what he did to that man. I wonder what he and his company did to that man and his friends and family.

[RealBNews]

This is why we've stopped watching you Joe. You immediately went to talking about high crime and "unease" when this was obviously a TARGETED attack and he was not robbed. Get these corporate Republican lite people off this network.

[derricklangford]

This wasn't random crime, Bruh was Backdoored.

[wendywilson-fall]

Those other crimes likely have nothing to do with the killing of the CEO. This was premeditated.

[HmmmYeahRiiiiiight]

I'm sure family members of people his insurance company let die by denying a med or lifesaving procedure are not one bit sad about his

[JamesDerived]

Seems like a pre-existing condition. No coverage

[tibbinova]

Health insurance is broken. Companies deny doctor-recommended treatments, and people are dying because of it. Fixing this could save lives.

[martyg]

This does not surprise me it was probably a disgruntled member who is denied Healthcare our Healthcare System is broken and now it seems like the common person is going to start standing up

[BillyReplies]

This is one of those unique instances where the victim was probably robbing the attacker.

[FactsoverFeelings]

Let’s all be thankful that no innocent person was hurt in this entire ordeal.
