Summary
UnitedHealth CEO Andrew Witty criticized public outrage over the health insurance industry following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson.
In a leaked video to staff, Witty dismissed criticism as “misinformation” and urged employees not to engage with media.
Thompson’s murder outside a Manhattan hotel has intensified scrutiny of the industry’s practices, with bullet casings found at the scene bearing phrases linked to insurance claim denial tactics.
The killing has sparked debate on UnitedHealthcare’s history of denying claims, while the shooter remains at large.
Witty faces unrelated DOJ insider trading allegations.
If he is going to be that far up his own ass, I hope he is at least checking for polyps.
They’d want people to learn self-colonoscopies so they can save on the 50 and over crowd.
What would he even do if he found any? His own insurance would deny coverage for their removal since they weren’t found by a medical provider, but would also deny a second colonoscopy since they had records of his DIY scope.
