This is why they bought the media in the first place, so what they say is loudest.
Billionaires deserve to live in fear for their lives.
I would like to know how we can all do more to bring this about.

Oh, sorry, looks like it’s been denied.
Brian Robert Thompson murdered 51,000 innocent human beings.
Please cite a source. It’s gotta be much higher than that.
It is a reasonable first order estimate. See a comment here. I think I will organize this a bit better and make a blog post on this tomorrow. But suffice to say, 51,000 is a good baseline number, based on UHC’s share of the private insurance market and the length of Thompson’s tenure as CEO of UHC. It could be as high as 100,000. But really, at this scale, it ceases to matter. You can only really comprehend it in comparative terms. And his number of victims was order of magnitude greater than that of Osama Bin Ladin.
I’m no math wizard but I’ve read 68k people die per year from preventable shit due to denied claims. Brian worked at United since 2004, CEO since 2021 so he contributed directly or indirectly to that number of deaths per year, at least the portion United is responsible for. United has double the industry average of rejected claims.
It’s def higher than OP states.
Thank you for needing the working class to exist. We have received and reviewed your request for sympathy towards your continued indifference to human suffering. Unfortunately we must reject your claim…
The persecution complex is going to get even more people killed as CEOs grow more paranoid and bodyguards more trigger happy.
Those trigger happy body guards might not be pointing their weapons in the direction these CEOs think
