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 have no sympathy for people who are responsible for and profit from killing people. All the people who died preventable deaths because insurance wouldn’t pay to save their lives had family too. I’m not about to go out and shoot people but I’ll damn well cheer for someone killing an evil bastard.
It’s fine if you want to play judge and jury, just try not to do it with someone’s life. Thanks.
My yin, if there’s anyone who’s deaths should be celebrated, it’s oligarchs. I think they should be stopped nonviolently and preferably legally, but guess what, they’ve removed all choices other than violence.
Then what’s the correct way?
Say that to the CEO of United Healthcare.
And that’s not up to you than him
Were you trying to say something?
Yes,if your strangled logic says that this guy plays judge and jury, it is exactly what you are doing.
I guess I could just repeat my question, but that would probably be pointless.
Looks like they had a stroke… hope they have good insurance 👀
Oh fuck right off. This dude got off easy. Shot on the back, no fear, quickly passing out and passing on.
Compare that to the millions of people that suffered, not just died of preventable illness, but suffered, and so did their families. Some of them still suffering not only emotional debt but financial debt too.
You will never justify this stance, and you know it.
False bravado
Broken brain.
“Don’t be the judge jury and executioner”
We have tried time and time again to let the “legal system” figure this shit out, and time and time again, billionaires just pay their way out with fines or just postpone it indefinitely while they commit more crimes against humanity.
Idk if you get some kind of justification by being knowingly incorrect around of a bunch of other people, but we can all see through it. Be part of the solution or keep it to yourself.

It’s honestly the same shit when you factor in the fact that most people are either in poverty or extremely close to it with a lot of those because of this dudes leadership.
You can make it look small by doing the .04B, you’re also missing his .02B (20M if you wanna do regular people numbers) in stock options, but that’s still an absolute fuck ton of money, and mixed with his decisions to willing fuck so many people over, I know he wasn’t a friend.
We’re only talking about publicly disclosed money here too.
Do you also cheer when prisoners are executed? Many of them are evil bastards too.
Lmao comparing the worst person on death row to an oligarchs is like comparing a kitten to a demon, they’re not even in the same zip code of evil
I’m 100% sure he’s responsible for at least the same amount of people who died in 9/11. And then add a zero or three. His decisions alone, only to increase profits.
I’m hungry, when do we eat?
Dude, literally millions of years off people’s lives.
