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.

    That’s a crazy choice in my opinion. Brian Thompson made what, 10 million a year? They could pay me 1/4 of his salary and I’d do everything I could to destroy the company until I got fired. I’d get AT LEAST one paycheck which would be a life-changing amount of money for the majority of the country.
