On Wednesday Decembe 4, 2024 a gunman shot and killed an American health insurance executive Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, outside a New York hotel. According to reports, the reaction to the crime exposes rage against the insurance firm's policies and denial of patient claims.
This is a trillion-dollar industry, whose customers continue to express outrage over refusal to pay. Killing is against the law and a terrible expression of rage and there is no excuse for it. There have been protests against this company, the latest being in July 2024 when more than 100 people gathered outside the Minnesota headquarters of United Healthcare to protest against the company's refusal to pay requiring its customers to seek and get "prior authorisation," which allows companies to review suggested treatments before agreeing to pay.
