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.

    I think he should have and we shouldn’t be afraid to praise him for it.

    Rich people and the culture they perpetuate results in way more death and suffering than we give them credit for. It’s about time they get a little bit of payback for the generations of woe they benefit from.

    Remember, they expect our children to serve their children. Fuck that shit.
