Was the CEO a victim of his own company's penurious policies?

[msc545]

This company, unlike other major health care companies and other large companies in general refused to spend a dime on an executive protection policy for this gentleman. He apparently had no professional protection whatsoever which might have saved his life since he was assaulted and murdered by someone in Manhattan yesterday. A few bodyguards would have been a good investment and possibly have saved this man's life. That being said, I doubt the company learned a single thing from this. They will continue to deny claims of their clients and they will continue to refuse protection to their own executives, all in the name of saving money and increasing their profits. Disgusting.

I forgot to put the man's name in this. This was Brian Thompson who was the CEO of United healthcare company who was shot to death in Manhattan yesterday on the street by an unknown person.

[Anonymous]

All I know is the shooter had a vendetta against the insurance companies proven by the fact he inscribed ‘Delay, Delay, and Defend’ into the very bullets that would unfortunately lead to the death of the CEO from his assassination attempt…

We don’t know if it was a relative or a friend or a colleague from that particular insurance company or he chose a insurance company target that was closest to his hometown, we just don’t have enough information to go on.

What I will say is this, the healthcare system in America sucks! My elderly relative was denied care due to some stupid loophole in a contract so, even as their well earned dollars were being pumped into this insurance for literal decades they couldn’t cash in & reap the benefits which is how they screw people like us especially when some offices aren’t compatible with insurance Americans pump money into costing them even more in the process…. It sucks! I don’t justify or try to change the fact an unfortunate loss has occurred though I am willing to admit it led to people coming forward about the broken system sharing their personal grievances to allow a larger, bigger, and more productive conversation to come out of this. Speak up! Don’t stand for this! Americans deserve to be free from these greedy shackles of corporate entities willing to screw us over.

Ah... we can make new CEO's easily enough.

[katiesmuff]

He was the top of the food chain in that company, the CEO should always take full responsibility for whatever happens with the company. Boils down to GREED and he got what he deserved and many more should get the same thing.

[michael3478]

careful with what you say on gag. Murder is never the answer.

[katiesmuff]

@michael3478 What is it called when he would deny persons medical attention and they died due to that executive decision? When it's your wife laying in a hospital bed needing maybe a lung, heart, kidney and some fucing buericrat CEO decides he doesn't think it's necessary and she dies in your arms begging for the thing that would save her life. I suppose you would go shake his hand

[msc545]

I'm not sure there is a word for the situation that you described. I too would probably call it murder. However, the fact is that a guy like this would do that to anyone not necessarily to kill them, but more to become personally, wealthy.

[katiesmuff]

That is why they do that! The more procedures they squash the more money in there filthy rich pockets.

[msc545]

Exactly. No amount of money is ever enough for them.

[katiesmuff]

Beginning to sound like we are both on the same page except I hate so bad all these Filthy rich bastard and all they do is fleece every nickel they can from the rest of us many who are barely getting along as it is. This GREED has destroyed what was once a very friendly and neighborly United States pretty much everywhere. Now it hate!

[dustybiker2]

Hardly a victim. He accepted the paycheck.

[exitseven]

It might be bigger than just some denied insurance claims. With the election of President Trump globalists are angry because their agenda will be stymied if not stopped completely. Killing random CEOs will keep them all afraid that they might be next. This may harm the economy which is poised to make a big comeback next year. The shooter appeared to have planned the killing and I doubt he will be caught but he is not a professional hitman. He shot Thompson in the back and the leg and I think there was a pretty good chance that Thompson would have survived his attack.

[msc545]

Not everything is about Trump, although apparently you'd like to make it that way.

[exitseven]

It might be some terrorist organization as well.

[msc545]

It was one guy with one pistol that he barely knew how to handle, although he DID clear it when it jammed. Hardly a "terrorist organization".

How about your favorite - an illegal immigrant terrorist child molester rapist shoplifter?

[msc545]

Sorry - a BLACK or BROWN illegal immigrant terrorist child molester rapist shoplifter?

[exitseven]

There are plenty of them in New York Citr.

[ForevrLonely29]

Are we supposed to feel bad for the crooked executives that profited off the misery of people, denying them of adequate medical treatments? How am I supposed to feel any pity? These health insurance companies have become predatory.

[molonski2]

Why was he shot?

Its an Insurance company , its in their DNA , an industry of utter deception , they can't protect him 24 /7 , every CEO does not need a bodyguard.

Probably a disgruntled client.

[msc545]

The CEO of a company that routinely makes people angry and upset absolutely needs to be protected. He wasn't.

[Sevenpointfive]

he knew exactly what he was doing. everyone in insurance does.

[Texaskid1]

Maybe.

It could also be he got involved with some bad people and he did them wrong.

Who knows.

[OddBeMe]

Looking back at gun welding assassins... they're most likely seeking fame or craziness.

[msc545]

This one was just trying to kill the guy, and he is now long gone.

[OddBeMe]

Not in the media.

[msc545]

Agreed, but nobody knows his name... so... what good did it do him?

[OddBeMe]

If you studied psychopaths they love media attention. Most can accept not telling people their name.
Btk couldnt.

[msc545]

If nobody knew their name how could you know what they did or didn't want?

[msc545]

Also, you do not need to be a Psychopath to murder someone.

[OddBeMe]

Lack of empathy helps. I'm just regurgitating shit from true crime docs. The odds this guy is a media whore murderer like the trump would be assassin's are plentiful.
