Summary

UnitedHealthcare has appointed Tim Noel as CEO, following the December 4 killing of former chief Brian Thompson in Manhattan.

Noel, a company veteran, takes charge as public anger grows over U.S. healthcare costs.

Thompson’s death sparked debates on the industry and led to a five-day manhunt.

Suspect Luigi Mangione, arrested in Pennsylvania, faces 11 state charges, including terrorism-related murder, and federal charges that could result in the death penalty.

    When I brought this up, plenty of people here attacked me for being a boot-licking CEO supporter, lmao

    I didn’t even say the CEO was guilt-free, I just explained that there are a lot more people than just him who were responsible for the shitty decisions.

      the rich have class solidarity. they don’t steal so much from eachother. only from us. you’re absolutely right that CEOs and boards of directors deserve our full ire. the industry of growth kills us more and more quickly every single day, and they keep on doing it
