Imagine that! A gigantic healthcare CEO murdered. Who’d of thunk somebody would get fed up after the absurdly expensive American healthcare system denies actual life saving treatment to somebody’s mother, sister, father, brother and then whacked the boss.
Wow! Didn’t see that coming!

This is a mandate from the American people.

I highlighted a few of the comments. There’s no sympathy from me either.

I would like to know the motivation of the shooter. My condolences to the surviving family.
 
I'll guess the shooter had a loved one who was denied healthcare, treatments, coverage, etc., who either died or went into bankruptcy or both as a result.

One of the leading causes of bankruptcy for US retirees / elderly is medical costs. Many are one accident or diagnosis away from financial ruin. The US healthcare system is broken, and no one has an incentive to fix it.

When US retirees think about traveling or moving to another country to live (as I'm considering), the healthcare costs and quality are one of the top concerns.

If you get medical assistance in some Asian countries, without local insurance, you still pay much less than you would in the US with insurance. Many Asian countries, at least in the large cities, have high ranked quality medical care/systems/personnel (Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand).

I'm not going to allow everything I worked for my entire life to be taken by a hospital or nursing home, and I'm looking into options that aren't cost prohibitive, and strategies to protect my wealth from the healthcare system.
 
WTF...

"Thompson’s violent death outside a hotel where UnitedHealthcare was hosting an investor conference didn’t just prompt scathing jokes but heated criticism of the insurer he had helmed since 2021. One image that made the rounds online was a chart from the personal finance website ValuePenguin, which found that UnitedHealthcare denies 32 percent of all in-network claims relating to individual health insurance plans — twice the industry average. Some pointed to headlines describing how UnitedHealthcare has used an allegedly faulty AI algorithm to assess claims and deny care for seriously ill patients on private Medicare Advantage plans, as described in an ongoing class-action lawsuit brought by the estates of two deceased people who were denied coverage for their care at an extended-care facility."

Wow, people slighted by the healthcare system take revenge. Never saw that coming.
Now that the fuse is lit, expect more. Lots of axes to grind and you reap what you’d sew.

They said the guy was a pro but he absolutely was not. Gun jams twice with a suppressor attached tells me he either had not fired the weapon much at all if any, or he had not run it suppressed before. Either way he was scrambling to get the gun cleared and back into race mode. A pro would have never ever made those mistakes or had those issues in the first place.
Guy was likely (as has been said) a family member of a person who ended up a casualty of a stupid decision made by the company.
 
I hope they’re not banking on DNA for a smoking gun, especially if they pulled it from the trash in NYC. Might as well just scoop it out of the Hudson.

Yeah, he would have put one the back of his head and not his leg and chest and also not allowed himself caught on multiple cameras before and after.
