December 4, 20241 yr I'll be interested to learn if it was random violence, an employee, doctor, or patient. UnitedHealth Group CEO Brian Thompson Fatally Shot in Broad Daylight in Front of Midtown Hilton: Reports Thompson has been CEO of the healthcare company since 2021, according to his bio By Greg Hanlon Published on December 4, 2024 09:40AM EST UnitedHealth Group CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot in Manhattan on Wednesday, Dec. 4, in front of the Hilton hotel, according to multiple reports, including ABC, The New York Times and PIX 11, who cite police sources. A New York Police Department spokesman tells PEOPLE that officers responded to a call at about 6:40 a.m. in front of 1335 Sixth Avenue, the address for the New York Hilton Midtown, where they found a 50-year-old man who'd been shot in the chest. The victim was transported to the hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased. Multiple reports have named Thompson as the victim, but the spokesman said the victim's name is being withheld publicly pending family notification. According to the Times, which reviewed a police report, the gunman fled east on Sixth Avenue and police are still trying to locate him.

December 4, 20241 yr I’m waiting for this to happen to right wing politicians in anti-abortion states. A woman is going to die at some point and a father or husband is going to snap.
December 4, 20241 yr When I first read this story, an article had a bulleted Summary at the top of the article which included the following: - UnitedHealthcare (NYSE:UNH) CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed earlier Wednesday morning outside a midtown Manhattan hotel where he was scheduled to speak at the company's annual investor conference. - UnitedHealth Group shares opened up ~2% Wednesday. And my first thought was, if they really cared about their shareholders, they would cap a few more execs. As it turns out, he was the CEO Of UnitedHealth Group's health benefits unit, not the top dog CEO.

December 4, 20241 yr Popular Post i had to wait six extra months for my spinal fusion because of uhc's denial bullshit. claimed the dr's admin did not fill out form correctly and was denied and then when doing the appeal, they said they could not do a peer to peer review with the surgeon because...it was on appeal. had to file a different appeal through a different process with an entirely new mri and a bunch of other bullshit. that infuriating labyrinth of nonsense makes me read this news and immediately recall the meme of "i'm not advocating for it...but i understand."

It still is horrible to go through that.
December 4, 20241 yr I was there two weeks ago and saw an ECU Pirates bus parked in front of the hotel. Logically it's pretty easy to see that it was Las Vegas Raiders owner Mike Davis that was the culprit. 1.)ECU football was led by Mike Houston until he was fired a few weeks back. 2.) Before he coached ECU and James Madison, Houston was the head coach of The Citadel 3.) The current HC of The Citadel is Maurice Drayton who was the assistant special teams coach of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022 AS WELL AS an assistant under Mike Houston at The Citadel in 2014-2015. Look at this fuck, obviously he did it. I've never been more certain of anything in my life!
