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.

    Seriously?

    Where did I say this? I would kindly recommend to read what was written and judge what is written by the intent by what is written instead of trying to read something that isn’t there…

      Well you said it wasn’t OK to kill him because he has a family.

        Honestly, your reading my answer in a way that I did not phrase it… Saying that I like rock music doesn’t makes I hate music that isn’t rock…

        I am firmly against killing as a default rule, it doesn’t solve anything. Even less when it is based on emotions.

        The CEO of United health was a horrible human being, however if we end up killing everyone who is like that… We may start with the billionaires and end up with killing anyone who wears flip flops with socks…

        Like they said in the Kill Bill movie : "Revenge is never a straight line. It’s a forest, and like a forest it’s easy to lose your way… to get lost… to forget where you came in.”
