UnitedHealthcare CEO Killing 'Person Of Interest' Had Manifesto Indicating 'Ill Will Towards Corporate America'#MotivationMindsetRevealed #UnitedHealthcare #IllWillCorporateAmerica #PotentialCorporateSabotage #CEOThreat
The recent assassination of the CEO of #UnitedHealthcare — the health insurance company with, reportedly, the highest rate of claims rejections (and thus dead, wounded, and furious customers and their relations) — gives us a perfect window to understand the stupidity and danger of the Musk/Trump/Ramaswamy strategy of “cutting government” to “make it more efficient, run it like a corporation.”
Consider health care, which in almost every other developed country in the world is legally part of the commons — the infrastructure of the nation, like our roads, public schools, parks, police, military, libraries, and fire departments — owned by the people collectively and run for the sole purpose of meeting a basic human need.

... To most Americans, a company like UnitedHealth represents less the provision of medical care than an active obstacle to receiving it. UnitedHealthcare insures almost a third of the patients enrolled in Medicare Advantage, a government-funded program facilitated by private insurance companies, which receive a flat fee for each patient they cover and then produce their own profits by minimizing each patient’s care costs. Reporting in the Wall Street Journal has found that these private insurance companies, which cover more than a third of American seniors on Medicare, collect hundreds of billions of dollars from the government annually and overbill Medicare to the tune of around ten billion dollars per year; UnitedHealthcare has used litigation to fight its obligation to repay fees that were overpaid. In 2020, UnitedHealth acquired a company called NaviHealth, whose software provides algorithmic care recommendations for sick patients, and which is now used to help manage its Medicare Advantage program. A 2023 class-action lawsuit alleges that the NaviHealth algorithm has a “known error rate” of ninety per cent and cites appalling patient stories: one man in Tennessee broke his back, was hospitalized for six days, was moved to a nursing home for eleven days, and then was informed by UnitedHealth that his care would be cut off in two days. (UnitedHealth says the lawsuit is unmerited.) After a couple rounds of appeals and reversals, the man left the nursing home and died four days later. The company has denied requests to release the analyses behind NaviHealth’s conclusions to patients and doctors, stating that the information is proprietary. ...

Seen on social media in the comments of a post about the #murder of #UnitedHealthcare #CEO #BrianThompson. Stated plainly and simply:
"I've been told you should only say good things about the dead.
"He's dead. That's good."
Khrys @Khrys@mamot.fr
#Abattu en pleine rue, le #patron des #assurances #UnitedHealthcare utilisait l' #IA pour refuser des indemnisations.
Là c'est mon commentaire et non celui de Khrys. Cette chose, qui prétendait être 1patron donc rien, est coupable d'assassinat par procuration, via 1 IA merdique et on me dit sur 1prédèdent post, que lui n'aurait tué personne contrairement à la personne altruiste qui a éliminé 1 déchet, je sais bien que jeter ses déchets est 1pratique courante, là on a enfin 1personne respectueuse de notre environnement, donc respect!

UnitedHealthcare savait que son algorithme avait un taux d'erreur extrêmement élevé et qu'elle avait sciemment rejeté les demandes des patients, tout en sachant que seul un faible pourcentage (0,2%) déposerait un recours pour tenter d'annuler la décision de l'assureur.
... Still, some of the most popular internet sleuths have sat out the investigation.
“We’re pretty apathetic towards that,” Savannah Sparks, who has 1.3 million followers on her TikTok account — where she tracks down and reveals the identities of people who do racist or seemingly criminal acts in viral videos — said about helping to identify the shooter. She added that, rather than sleuthing, her community has “concepts of thoughts and prayers. It’s, you know, claim denied on my prayers there,” referring to rote and unserious condolences.
Although Sparks, 34, has been tapped by law enforcement in the past to help train officers on how to find suspects online, according to emails seen by NBC News, she said this time she isn’t interested in helping police.
Sparks, who also works in health care as a lactation consultant and holds a doctorate of pharmacy, didn’t mince words when asked if her community was working to find the suspect in Thompson’s murder.
“Absolutely the fuck not,” she said.
Another popular TikTok sleuth, thatdaneshguy, who has 2 million followers on the platform, made a video that was critical of the health care industry, saying that he wouldn’t try to identify the killer. “I don’t have to encourage violence. I don’t have to condone violence by any means. But I also don’t have to help,” he said. ...
