Summary
UnitedHealthcare has appointed Tim Noel as CEO, following the December 4 killing of former chief Brian Thompson in Manhattan.
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.
Now why would you hope that?
I should have said “I hope for him”. Personally I don’t give a rat’s ass.
I mean I don’t wish bad things to happen to anybody, but chances are, if this Brian Thompson replacement got the job, it’s probably not because he’s a charitable man who’s desperate to do right by UHC’s patrons. So if he gets whacked - and he clearly has a giant target on his back - I might not weep at his funeral.
