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.

    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…
