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.

I’d be more nuanced. I don’t mind him being dead, but I don’t celebrate it either, because it took out the public-display figure instead of the people (shareholders) that actually cause the practices.
When the system is so corrupted that it no longer delivers justice, people are going to improvise other means.
I’m not advocating it or saying it’s a bad thing, just making an observation.
We can celebrate both
They guy is a symbol of injustice, as well as just a person. You can celebrate that part, without tangling it up with the worry about his family.
