Summary
UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot in a targeted attack outside a New York Hilton hotel, with investigators describing the killing as meticulously planned.
The gunman fled on foot, then by rental bike, and possibly left the city via bus. Shell casings at the scene had words like “deny” and “defend” inscribed, hinting at a motive linked to Thompson’s work.
Experts suggest the shooter may have military or weapons experience but left key clues, including surveillance footage and discarded items.
Police are analyzing evidence, including DNA, to identify the suspect.
I know this is indirect speech how they’d spin it, not your own words, but I fucking hate the way these vampires are spun as “providers” - they don’t provice jack shit except the rare case of “I provide the wealth to shoulder large financial burdens at once” (but we all know the fine print on that).
The actual providers, on the other hand, have to watch a mother’s entire world collapse when she’s told her child is gonna die because the treatment isn’t affordable and the insurance that made her come all this way to find an in-network doctor in the first place decided the kid should try Yoga or whatever bullshit.
I’m sure the propaganda ghouls in the US are currently talking with one voice about how Brian Thompson was one of the carers, who gave his life to helping the sick, and how his killer is bound for the lowest circle of Hell alongside Hitler, Oswald and the Rosenbergs.
Bitch, my boss is doing more for my healthcare.
Spontaneous Home Office because I caught a cold? If you mark it on your time sheet, I might have to reprimand you, so just don’t.
Doctor’s appointment with awkward scheduling? If it interferes with important meetings, we’ll have to see if we can make it work, otherwise just mark it in your calendar so I know when you’re unavailable, catch up the hours whenever.
Granted, it’s an office job and I’m doing good work, so he has little reason to object, but that puts him above Thompson already.
So you’re saying there’s a difference between healthcare providers (doctors/surgeons/nurses/PAs/etc) and wealthcare providers (insurance companies)?
