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.

      The authorities that should be doing that won’t because the system is broken. When the law does nothing then there is going to vigilante justice. If mass murderers like that executive were actually held accountable by our laws then there would be no reason for them to be shot in the streets. The fact of the matter is that they aren’t held accountable. They can do whatever they want and all the peaceful methods of changing that failed.
