“When other’s human lives are deemed worthless, it is not surprising to have others view your life of no value as well,” wrote one medical doctor, whose identity the Daily Beast confirmed.

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.

    An insurance CEO is not responsible for millions of deaths. Drug dealers cause suffering to a lot more than just a couple of people.

    And drug dealers are not forced to do what they do to survive. Every drug dealer has friends or family who survive without dealing drugs.

    You can sharpen guillotines for the CEOs, while Kyle Rittenhouse wannabes load their assault rifles for street criminals. You’re ultimately indistinguishable to the rest of us.
