UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot outside Hilton hotel in Midtown in targeted attack: cops - Just Part and Parcel of visiting a Big City

[Friend of Dorothy Parker]

Nigga it's not working if even a single woman gets bankrupted for having a fucking babay in hospital you clown child lmao

Since when does being in charge of a company mean you need to be a billionaire, retard?????? Your cock guzzling for capitalism is showing close your mouth and swallow elons cum loser

Who's the billionaire? Not Brian Thompson (reportedly $43M nw), not even Andrew Witty (reportedly $40-60M nw).

However,

Spoiler: Where's the money, Ralph?

some of their predecessors are, and others are rolling, too:

• Steve Hemsley - former UHG CEO and Chair since 2017, est. $700M-$1.2B (hard to pinpoint nw, but he was UHG CEO a long and massively exploding decade, has been Chair since 2017. Started at Arthur Andersen. Also netted around $84.9M earlier this year in one fell swoop, selling UNH stock around the same time as Thompson sold $15M worth. But even way back in 2010 his comp hit over $100M.
• Bill McGuire (pre-Hemsley and the one who made it a massive player) est. $1.2-1.6B.
• Dave Wichmann, Hemsley's successor and Witty's predecessor for just a few years (2017-2021), was basically homegrown after having been at Arthur Andersen. Wichmann received $142M comp in 2021 ($40-50M in 2020 and 2019) - and he didn't do shit. ...But also got let go. Now a director at Boston Scientific. Probably around $500M.
• A former EVP at UHG (there are only a couple), and another Arthur Andersen alum, G. Mike Mikan*, had oversight of M&A - BT's boss's boss. Just 53 now, he went to UHG in 1998 and was already EVP when BT was just a wee Director. Forbes 40 under 40. Mikan made a bundle at UHG but left in 2012 to lead Best Buy. More recently, he made $180M in 2021 at his now-gig, making him the top-compensated fintech ("insurtech") guy that year (co went public that year; afterward he was back to a fraction, as was the stock, but still makes 8 figures). The company has renamed and presumably retooled - in 2023, "after being compelled to pay $380 million in risk adjustment payments to health plans, selling its Medicare Advantage business for less than expected, being put into receivership in Texas, finalizing a reverse stock split to avoid delisting from the New York Stock Exchange, posting a net loss of $1.3 billion last year and laying off staff," the company gave him a $1.95 million cash bonus.
• Gail Boudreaux, the Anthem (now Elevance) CEO, who shows up as #4 to Witty's #5 in a list of top-paid insurance execs, was another UHG EVP for many years and spent a few years as UHC CEO. She left when Wichmann moved up to UHG CEO. Est net worth $235M.
• Another former UHG EVP, once a contender for UHG CEO, is Richard Anderson, est. $121M. He left UHG to become CEO at Delta, was making 8 figures/year and got $74M stock as a parting gift, then took a short contract to lead Amtrak. Interesting start to his career.

* Topical trivia? Mikan's father was a pro basketball player in the 1940s and 50s for the Minnesota Lakers. In college,

Mikan was named NCAA College Player of the Year twice, in 1945 and 1946. He was an All-American three times, leading DePaul to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) title in 1945. Mikan led the nation in scoring with 23.9 points per game in 1944-1945 and 23.1 in 1945-1946. When DePaul won the 1945 NIT, Mikan was named most valuable player for scoring 120 points in three games, including 53 points in a 97-53 win over Rhode Island, outscoring the entire Rhode Island team.

His story in the pros is pretty amazing, worth a read. Known as Mr. Basketball, he was considered the father of modern ball. After retiring ftom the League, he was a lawyer and in real estate.

Coda:

In his late years, Mikan fought with diabetes and failing kidneys, and eventually, his illness caused his right leg to be amputated below the knee. When the insurance was cut off, Mikan soon battled severe financial trouble. He fought a long and protracted legal battle against the NBA and the NBA Player's Union, protesting the low, $1,700 a month pensions for players who had retired before 1965, the so-called "big money era." According to Mel Davis of the National Basketball Retired Players Union, this battle kept him going, because Mikan hoped to be alive when a new collective bargaining agreement would finally vindicate his generation. In 2005, however, his condition declined.

However in countries like Canada and the UK you can just pay to do various things privately.

You can do the same in the U.S. It's called paying out of pocket.

Interesting that Mangione and Brian Thompson were both class valedictorians, and ironic that Mangione, who came from an extremely wealthy influential family goes on to be viewed-by many people anyway- at as a hero to the struggling classes while Thompson who was emerged from a humble working class background-his mom was a beautician, his father was a grain elevator worker- is looked at by many as a villain who's enrichment came from the misery of the very same class of folks that he and his parents once were.

Sorry wagie

Next week's breaking news:
'McDonald's CEO Assassinated.'

 

[Wodanaz]

Yeah, class solidarity but dont you dare go and make something out of yourself! If you dont stay with the other crabs in the bucket you deserve to die! Brian Thompson deserved to be killed in cold blood, shot in the back by some coward because he was talented, studied and worked hard. And for what? A one week news cylce that will be forgotten next month?
This has nothing to do with politics, "uniting the left and right" or whatever, it's just a way for you faggots to project your ressentiment on somebody better than you lol. Bioleninism in action.

Yeah dude he was so smart, he deserved all that money. Except he wasn't smart enough to foresee his own murder because everyone hated him. Maybe if he was truly talented (at cutting people's throats), studied (how to backstab people) and worked hard (to deny as many claims as humanly possible through the use of an experimental machine learning algorithm), then he should have hired private security. And then maybe he would have thought to himself, "Should being the CEO of a healthcare company really require private security?" Maybe if he was smart enough to do all that, and was humble enough for that kind of introspection, he would have changed careers and he would still be alive.

Dumbass fucking faggot.

It is almost as if classism is retarded and evaporates the moment someone loses an aspect of their own body to absurd amounts of pain purely because a shitty insurance company fucked them over. Anyone can be guttered. Even a spoonfed trust fund kid can have his break. No one will ever be born equal in this world, while there are endless parasites at the top I don't believe for a second that Luigi is anything like the United Healthcare CEO just because he has wealth because believe it or not even people like him get fucked over.

 

[Wesley Willis]

I don't agree. Why is commercialization of healthcare bad, but not food or other essentials? It's not. If you made food free and abundant, people would gorge themselves until there was nothing left. Over-utilization of services is just one problem that plagues single-payer nations, resulting in long waits, ballooning budgets, and state sponsored euthanasia as a logical conclusion. So we need prices so that healthcare is accessed by people who actually need it and profit motive to ensure that everything is efficiently run.

Corporations have one prime directive, and that's profit. CEOs will do anything to mitigate risk and deliver a profit to shareholders in whatever situation they find themselves in, up to and including making everyone's lives hell. But that's their job, and this works when there is freedom of choice. The problem is in the circumstances that created this environment to begin with. Roosevelt freezing wages in the 40s incentivizing employers to offer benefits packages to remain competitive set a precedent for employer-sponsored healthcare. When they're spending their own money for someone else's benefit, they'll choose the cheapest viable option. That's how you end up with so many people depending on a shit corporation like UHC.

Decades of regulations later and attempted remedies from the government have created the worst of all worlds in the US. A system as broken as any socialist hellhole combined with the worst profiteering. The problem is with state-sponsored effective monopolies, and killing CEOs is not going to do a damn thing to fix it.

Access to food isn't tied to some shitty employer-sponsored plan.

"Worked hard" lmfao nigger what? His job is a useless middleman job that doesn't produce anything at all, but instead inserts itself into what should be a direct transaction between two parties and try to siphon money off of it. Like a parasite. I love how this event shows who the vermin are because they trip over themselves to ballwash the dead faggot and his useless leech peers.

Oh yeah managing hundreds of billions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of employees, millions of clients, navigating the rigged Jew market and tard wrangling the board adds nothing to society and is a hands off job. He was just sitting in his office, feet on the table, rubbing his hands thinking about whose life to ruin next. Because thats what the CEO of the UnitedHealthcare Group does, he personally approves or disapproves the thousands of claims they have coming in every day.

Dumbass fucking faggot.

Everybody loved him and he leaves behind a mourning family, but I guess its his fault because he didnt consult his crystal orb to divinate his random, out of nowhere murder by some schizo, you fucking assmad NIGGER.

 

[Angry Shoes]

in what universe is murdering a corrupt CEO, shooting him in the back on the sidewalk because his company fucked you over like a year prior, even remotely similar to shooting two retards that are physically attacking you, one of whom has a gun pointed at you?

In the based universe

 

[Wodanaz]

Is that why he was targeted? Because everybody loved him so much? I don't know if you're like, a third worlder or what, but here in first world countries we teach our children this concept known as "cause and effect". I recommend looking into it, quite interesting stuff if you apply the theory widely enough.

He still consciously oversaw his company denying 30%~ claims and delegating that task to fucking ChatGPT.

Speaking of mad lads I give dankula 2 years and hes gonna make a video on this mf.

So, what are the odds this guy dies of mysterious causes regardless of the outcome in court?

Yeah. Who will be the Jack Ruby in this case?

He never interacted with Waluigi, didnt know of his health problems, wasnt even aware of his existence. He was targeted because Waluigi lost his mind and chimped out, there was no cause and effect, just a nigger tier chimp out, something you obviously sympathize with.

Well I guess he should have just waved his magic wand and made it so 0% of cases are rejected. Investors, the tards in the board, the COO and CFO and byzantine internal and external regulations dont exist.
And yeah, AI will be used to do administrative work in the near future.
Hm, whats that? You need anaesthesia before the doc cuts you open?

The media got their "deranged angry shooter" photo as he shouted at the media for taking Americans as fools as they bombard them with 100 ads an hour about insurance and drugs.

Bottom left you can see that the officer is jabbing his thumb into his spine. Ouch : (

reeeee! He's no hero, says Gov. Jew Shapiro of Pennsylvania. Shut the fuck up faggot, I'd celebrate someone killing you too.

lol, the YouTube comments are having none of it.

 

[Wodanaz]

He never interacted with Waluigi

That remains to be seen. I hope you pay attention to his case, he may just explain why he did what he did and how he was being fucked over by the insurance company. If the CEO can be congratulated for his success by you, then he can also be lambasted for his failure by me. The knife cuts both ways.

But that is immaterial to the point. I'll spell it out for you, cause and effect works like this: Deny 30% of claims, get shot. A very clear action, then an equal and opposite reaction. He didn't even have to be the one to get fucked over, it could have been someone he loved instead.

Also, anyone with that much wealth would do well to hire security anyway. It would take five minutes of studying some historical revolutions to come to that conclusion. Maybe don't walk around a metropolitan shithole if you have millions of dollars, especially if a lot of people think you got them in one of the most comically evil ways imaginable.

Honestly it looks as if you don't even believe the shit you're saying anymore. Either your conviction or your arguments are weak. Step up nigga.

Or you know, he could have done what any reasonable person does: not use a machine for a human-specific task. Insurance claims have to be, because AI is not going to understand the difference between a troon getting hormone blockers, or a child needing one to prevent early puberty (note, this does happen for some children and is needed in these cases. Short version, it causes a shit ton of health issues and complications.)
