“When other’s human lives are deemed worthless, it is not surprising to have others view your life of no value as well,” wrote one medical doctor, whose identity the Daily Beast confirmed.

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.

    Life is short and filled with potential that sometimes met and other times robbed.

    Having lost many members of my family, I don’t wish it on others.

    Surely you’re talking about the people who died due to a lack of coverage or denied claims, right?

    …oh.

      I would also strong recommend people listen TO George Carlin speaking about how Politicians suck… Well guess what maybe it’s the people voting for them that suck because these politicians are not aliens. They are Americans…

      Both mate, I don’t glorify murderers.

      I try to stay consistent on that principle. The CEO of Health United deserved it, but that regardless of the fact that vigilante murder is illegal for a good reason.

      And it should equally be illegal for United Health to commit these atrocities they are doing…

      Where are the millions of Americans in the street yelling for justice!? This is the problem when your society favor individualism to the extreme.

      Hell you can see people walk in the streets of New York while a homeless person is unconscious and what do people say? It’s not my problem, someone else should call the cops…
