Murdered health insurance CEO Brian Thompson’s final LinkedIn posts are filled with people detailing their dreadful experiences.
The New York Police Department is still on the hunt for the mysterious gunman who killed UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson outside a midtown Manhattan hotel early Wednesday morning.
The late health insurance executive’s death sparked a heated debate over the widespread and public celebration that followed it — the bleak legacy of a man in charge of a company that’s made the lives of countless Americans miserable, often during the darkest parts of their lives.
Even long before his murder earlier this week, Thompson’s online presence drew the ire of those who either were denied coverage or watched a loved one struggle to pay skyrocketing bills for their treatment — a common refrain in a notoriously greedy and deficient health insurance system.
As spotted by reporter Ken Klippenstein, replies to Thompson’s final LinkedIn posts before his death, over a year ago, are filled with people detailing their dreadful experiences with UnitedHealth — a real « horror show », as Klippenstein described it.
