Summary

Reddit’s r/medicine moderators deleted a thread where doctors and users harshly criticized murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Comments, including satirical rejections of insurance claims for gunshot wounds, targeted UHC’s reputation for denying care to boost profits.

Despite the removal, similar discussions continue, with medical professionals condemning UHC’s business practices under Thompson’s leadership, which a Senate report recently criticized for denying post-acute care.

Thompson, shot in what appears to be a targeted attack, led a company notorious for its high claim denial rates, fueling ongoing debates about corporate ethics in healthcare.

    I mean it’s pretty obvious most people are in favor of making yesterday a National Holiday.

    Brought to you by my being awake when I don’t want to be:

    Remember, remember!
    The fourth of December,
    A U-H-C CEO shot;
    I know of no reason
    Why the U-H-C season
    Should ever be forgot!
