The primary blame belongs on the patient and how well they manage their condition and general health.
As fucked up as murdering someone is.. This comment section just lets you know the poetic justice the masses see from this. Maybe change pharmaceutical business strategies to not hold peoples health hostage and people would have sympathy. Until then don’t expect a finger to be raised to help or a candle vigil to feel sorry for the victim.
It screams how sick people are, mentally. The guy wasn’t given a CEO position after earning a GED out of high school. People who are smart, raised right, and work hard, earn that kind of position. The fact he worked in healthcare doesn’t make him a demon. There are millions of people working in healthcare. Maybe focus on the crap in our food, if you want to fix healthcare.
@ as someone who’s wife was denied blood pressure medication after giving birth and having to only pay $5 out-of-pocket for the possibly life saving medication.. I feel like your comment is insanely naive. My brother-in-laws mothers chemo was rejected because “she didn’t show enough cancer” (she died 8 months later). These vampires as less than scum in the eyes of the majority of citizens. And you seriously think this guy is clean when he was the CEO of the dirtiest healthcare company there is?.. have you taken a look at their lawsuits? They are taking advantage of their customers and stealing from them.
@@thegrumpypapa5549actually he does. The more money he makes for shareholders the longer he stays at the top. And the more claims he has his people deny the more money he makes for shareholders. It’s pretty simple, insurance companies make money when they don’t pay out insurance claims
@@PC33CC he was being investigated for insider trading and had been sued by a Fire Department pension out of Florida because of insider trading. This guy was a bad man, an evil person. I honestly believe that you do not get to be the CEO of an American healthcare company without being personally responsible for millions of people suffering and dying because of your direct actions. We’re not talking about a CEO of a cookie company or car company. We’re talking about the American healthcare system, where literally millions of people die and suffer every year because of the greed of insurance companies. if you don’t know anybody who’s been victimized by these companies, you are very lucky. Because most people do. It’s pretty damn simple man, they make more by paying out less claims. That’s why it should never be a private company’s responsibility to provide health care for people. It’s just too risky to put the health of the population into the hands of shareholders who only want to make more profit
I am 74 and on Medicare. Thankfully I am in good health and only visit a doctor once a year for a physical. That stated, I was reading the comments below and absolutely stunned at the nearly universal condemnation of United Health Care specifically, and health insurance companies in general. The fact that almost everyone has little sympathy for the victim tells me something is seriously wrong with our health care system.
He was killed by a masked white man in all black, backpack and a silenced pistol. Sounds like it’s out of a movie. Very clearly a hit man job and probably financial related
@@mikedemirdjian9976this was actually the description given by bystanders to the police. You want the individual caught and justice served right? So let’s start with getting an accurate description.
I don't wish anyone harm and do not condone this in any way, but it's not hard to imagine that if you F with people's lives enough one of them is going to F with your life.
And the world's smallest violin started to play for the CEO of a health insurance company. Actually to be fair when I had them for medicaid they covered everything. But seriously who cares about someone who profits off of pain and sickness? I'd bet this is someone whose claim was denied and who had a family member pass as a result.
@VoteForBukele what does that sentence even mean? Are you somehow implying that the entire health insurance industry will suddenly disappear? Will universal healthcare replace it? Because if it doesn't then insurance companies will exist forever meaning I don't have to whine about shit because I actually have good insurance through my job. Your sentence is so poorly written I don't even understand what you're trying to tell me. You're saying I wouldn't complain if insurance disappeared? Well if it was replaced with universal coverage I wouldn't whine. Otherwise it will always exist so what are you even talking about? You can literally buy insurance on a 4$ desk fan what makes you think "soon there'll be no insurance?" Insurance will literally exist FOREVER for literally EVERYTHING. You can insure paper clips and post it notes: what are you talking about?

Wow. I'm over 65 and on Medicare now but self emplo for years before that I had to pay $800 per month for healthcare I thankfully didnt need. This system sucks!
As a nurse, I can say United Healthcare has caused unbelievable damage to the U.S. healthcare system . Greed. Hugh bonuses to executives. Deaths due to delays and refusal of treatments. He knew all this when he took the job.
Just recently, was it this company and HCA-Hospital Corporation of America-wait to the last minute before contract agreement was reached? Nervous making for insured patients. Betting many on Medicare Advantage are changing from both before 12/7. Not to mention the security breaches.
Amen, fellow Healthcare professional, if the people only knew how bad UHC truly is as a MCO there would be no tears. Time to advocate for our people. Maybe now someone will listen. Write your state reps.
His enormous income, vehicles, vacation homes, and real estate were all purchased using client funds intended to cover his medical expenses. It's a racket.
We have to consider a motive for this crime. Someone who does this could be someone who is being crushed by a profit driven and insanely rapacious system of exploitation and greed which crushes and invalidates even the concept of national healthcare and social wellness. So it could be any one of us.
I do not condone murder in any way shape or form. This is a very unusual circumstance where I find myself conflicted. You have a man that was a CEO of a multi billion dollar health insurance company, that lived his life every single day, deciding who gets to live and who gets to die all in the name of profit and protecting the company’s “best interests”. Now we have a shooter that took matters it into their own hands, and “ punished” the company that made that call - something that our government, and our elected officials have failed to do for decades. So now we have one person on the loose, that illegally murdered a rich CEO of one of the largest health insurance providers in the United States. And on the other hand, we have a now deceased, rich CEO of said health insurance company, who committed potentially thousands of “murders” by denying life saving healthcare to patients - which is legal in our country. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Someone took a stand against that. Now here we are. Rooting for the criminal, and not the victim. A human life is a human life. Whether it was done illegally, or legally, this madness has to end. No one should suffer, and no one should be in pain. And it’s sad that we see it every single day where these rich billion dollar corporations are allowed to play judge, jury, and executioner. But when the little guy stand up to it, they are murderers, have severe mental issues, etc.. This was just a furious person who took it out on the leader of a group that caused that pain. Whether this is right, or this is wrong; as a good hard-working, honest man, I can’t say. There will be consequences, yes, but in this case, I’m not sharing any tears for this CEO or his family. And the CEO‘s family claims he was a “good man“, or they had no knowledge about his job actually was, they are turning a blind eye to reality and lying not only to themselves, but to anyone else they say it to.
I hate to say it, but I have little to no sympathy for those who run the medical industry. Drug companies, hospitals and worse the insurance companies are evil, follow the money.
Maybe insurance company shouldn't be for-profit. We are literally forced to buy their services yet they do anything but deliver on what we pay for.... 🙄🤮
Can you tell us specifically something you disagree with him on? Or do you hear the word "insurance" and just start shrieking? Who knows I might agree with you but I'm curious what exactly he did.
Broad daylight hits at one time were common in NYC. Not so today, but this example shows it can happen. The people who witnessed this will remember this for life.
Story seems odd for sure…a person mad about his Healthcare coverage or something else not being covered, financial ruin, he made CEO pay. How would he know the exact hotel location is weird. Investor day is in NYC, per press release.
Press release for Inv Day just notes NYC. Perhaps they had access to additional info, ie Invite that displayed location. Regardless, to obtain his precise hotel location is too weird. However, companies use preferred hotels.
"Immigrants are the problem." NO. Billionaires who deny coverage and cause hardship to struggling families are the real enemies in this country. HEALTHCARE SHOULD NOT BE CAPITALIZED UPON, YOU SHOULDNT HAVE TO BE WEALTHY TOGGET PRESCRIPTIONS OR VISIT A DOCTOR. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.
He had to sign in and do history and insurance carrier, they then needed to verify coverage before admission THEN find a specialist to work on him. Bwaahaaa oops 3 hrs later.
I feel bad for the family but to be honest I'm surprised it's taken this long for this to happen. People are so fed up of the corruption of insurance companies.

Maybe change pharmaceutical business strategies to not hold peoples health hostage and people would have sympathy. Until then don’t expect a finger to be raised to help or a candle vigil to feel sorry for the victim.
It screams how sick people are, mentally. The guy wasn’t given a CEO position after earning a GED out of high school. People who are smart, raised right, and work hard, earn that kind of position. The fact he worked in healthcare doesn’t make him a demon. There are millions of people working in healthcare. Maybe focus on the crap in our food, if you want to fix healthcare.
@ as someone who’s wife was denied blood pressure medication after giving birth and having to only pay $5 out-of-pocket for the possibly life saving medication.. I feel like your comment is insanely naive.
My brother-in-laws mothers chemo was rejected because “she didn’t show enough cancer” (she died 8 months later).
These vampires as less than scum in the eyes of the majority of citizens.
And you seriously think this guy is clean when he was the CEO of the dirtiest healthcare company there is?.. have you taken a look at their lawsuits? They are taking advantage of their customers and stealing from them.
@@PC33CC Well said. He doesn't stay at the top saying yes or no to insurance claims. He has others to do that.
@@thegrumpypapa5549actually he does. The more money he makes for shareholders the longer he stays at the top. And the more claims he has his people deny the more money he makes for shareholders. It’s pretty simple, insurance companies make money when they don’t pay out insurance claims
@@PC33CC he was being investigated for insider trading and had been sued by a Fire Department pension out of Florida because of insider trading. This guy was a bad man, an evil person. I honestly believe that you do not get to be the CEO of an American healthcare company without being personally responsible for millions of people suffering and dying because of your direct actions. We’re not talking about a CEO of a cookie company or car company. We’re talking about the American healthcare system, where literally millions of people die and suffer every year because of the greed of insurance companies. if you don’t know anybody who’s been victimized by these companies, you are very lucky. Because most people do. It’s pretty damn simple man, they make more by paying out less claims. That’s why it should never be a private company’s responsibility to provide health care for people. It’s just too risky to put the health of the population into the hands of shareholders who only want to make more profit
Definitely was a set up!!
I am 74 and on Medicare. Thankfully I am in good health and only visit a doctor once a year for a physical. That stated, I was reading the comments below and absolutely stunned at the nearly universal condemnation of United Health Care specifically, and health insurance companies in general. The fact that almost everyone has little sympathy for the victim tells me something is seriously wrong with our health care system.
When you value money over your fellow man, it happens.
Assuming we know the motivation of the gunman (expensive premiums, ergo, money); was his motivation not, then, for money, as well?
@sergpie you're not wrong. Weak man mad at a more dynamic weak man

@btk1243, I'll tell you! My name is Lewis Robert Burton Jr!
To a real shame if his treatment relied on the same coverage offered by his company to the public.
Hope he didn't have UHC as his health plan. They won't cover bullet wounds.
I wish i could feel sorry. I don't. The blood in the hands of these health insurance companies is insane
I don't wish anyone harm and do not condone this in any way, but it's not hard to imagine that if you F with people's lives enough one of them is going to F with your life.
RICH 🇺🇸 CEO don't BELIEVE that 🤔
And the world's smallest violin started to play for the CEO of a health insurance company.
Actually to be fair when I had them for medicaid they covered everything.
But seriously who cares about someone who profits off of pain and sickness?
I'd bet this is someone whose claim was denied and who had a family member pass as a result.
Very soon there will be no insurance so whiny people like you who have no personal gripe will have a reason to complain. 😘
Come to England 🏴 you get everything absolutely FREE ON THE NHS FACTS , NEVER PAID IN MY LIFE. I HAD BROKEN ARMS , LEGS 🦵,,NEVER PAID NOTHING
@VoteForBukele what does that sentence even mean? Are you somehow implying that the entire health insurance industry will suddenly disappear? Will universal healthcare replace it? Because if it doesn't then insurance companies will exist forever meaning I don't have to whine about shit because I actually have good insurance through my job.
Your sentence is so poorly written I don't even understand what you're trying to tell me. You're saying I wouldn't complain if insurance disappeared? Well if it was replaced with universal coverage I wouldn't whine. Otherwise it will always exist so what are you even talking about?
You can literally buy insurance on a 4$ desk fan what makes you think "soon there'll be no insurance?" Insurance will literally exist FOREVER for literally EVERYTHING.
You can insure paper clips and post it notes: what are you talking about?
@mcnamaraky you can get free care in hospital in the uk 🇬🇧, the land of the FREE USA 🇺🇸 where you even pay going hospital, embarrassing 😳
@@VoteForBukele lol you've left over 13 comments on this 4 minute video. Before I replied to you I had left ONE. You're either a bot or completely obsessed with politics and money and spend all day leaving comments on social media about whatever side you're supporting that particular day.
People are fed up with raising healthcare costs that don't make sense anymore.
Criminal sympathizer.
Did he die of preexisting conditions? That’s not covered by UnitedHealthcare just so you know.
"Did he die of preexisting conditions?"
Obamacare requires coverage of pre-existing conditions.
How many people had Thompson hurt and killed as CEO of the sick-care company UHC? Sometimes bad things happen to bad people.
How many people has "sick-care" UHC helped?
Sometimes idiots say stupid evil things.
Health care needs to be non profit and heavily regulated towards cures not treatment.
United Healthcare is non profit, it is ran by the government.
You think doctors and nurses are going to work for free?
@TheHaughtyOsprey you understand NOT what non profit means in the business world. Google is your friend.
@@TheHaughtyOspreyCome to England 🏴 you get everything absolutely FREE ON THE NHS FACTS , NEVER PAID IN MY LIFE. I HAD BROKEN ARMS , LEGS 🦵,,NEVER PAID NOTHING

Wow. I'm over 65 and on Medicare now but self emplo for years before that I had to pay $800 per month for healthcare I thankfully didnt need. This system sucks!
So, my $800 a month was pure profit for United Healthcare!
Why would you pay $800 a month? Were you just scared of getting sick/hurt? $800 a month is a mortgage payment...
Come to England 🏴 you get everything absolutely FREE ON THE NHS FACTS , NEVER PAID IN MY LIFE. I HAD BROKEN ARMS , LEGS 🦵,,NEVER PAID NOTHING🎉
So does the person who targeted him take his place at UnitedHealthCare like John Gotti?
The suspect could be any American struggling to pay for their insurance
Or worse, he lost someone he loved because he couldn't pay.
Hilarious you ppl in the land of the free pay for going hospital 😂hilarious bahahahaha 😂
As a nurse, I can say United Healthcare has caused unbelievable damage to the U.S. healthcare system . Greed. Hugh bonuses to executives. Deaths due to delays and refusal of treatments. He knew all this when he took the job.
Just recently, was it this company and HCA-Hospital Corporation of America-wait to the last minute before contract agreement was reached? Nervous making for insured patients. Betting many on Medicare Advantage are changing from both before 12/7. Not to mention the security breaches.
Amen, fellow Healthcare professional, if the people only knew how bad UHC truly is as a MCO there would be no tears. Time to advocate for our people. Maybe now someone will listen. Write your state reps.
I bet you it was someone who's wife died because of a denied claim.
*...and all Bill Gates got was a pie in the face.*
His insurance wouldn't cover the life flight?
I'm not surprised or feel bad. These guys are crooks. The ceo of HCA better watch out might happen to him too.
His enormous income, vehicles, vacation homes, and real estate were all purchased using client funds intended to cover his medical expenses. It's a racket.
We have to consider a motive for this crime. Someone who does this could be someone who is being crushed by a profit driven and insanely rapacious system of exploitation and greed which crushes and invalidates even the concept of national healthcare and social wellness. So it could be any one of us.
This system was planned long, long ago by the Rockefeller's. The plan is to make billions and to cull the herd.
Or someone recently laid off and given 5 months severence for 20 years of service🤔
As my dad used to say,
"Couldnt have happened to a nicer guy"
😂😂
He probably denied coverage to a really desperate person
I do not condone murder in any way shape or form. This is a very unusual circumstance where I find myself conflicted. You have a man that was a CEO of a multi billion dollar health insurance company, that lived his life every single day, deciding who gets to live and who gets to die all in the name of profit and protecting the company’s “best interests”. Now we have a shooter that took matters it into their own hands, and “ punished” the company that made that call - something that our government, and our elected officials have failed to do for decades.
So now we have one person on the loose, that illegally murdered a rich CEO of one of the largest health insurance providers in the United States. And on the other hand, we have a now deceased, rich CEO of said health insurance company, who committed potentially thousands of “murders” by denying life saving healthcare to patients - which is legal in our country.
Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Someone took a stand against that. Now here we are. Rooting for the criminal, and not the victim. A human life is a human life. Whether it was done illegally, or legally, this madness has to end. No one should suffer, and no one should be in pain. And it’s sad that we see it every single day where these rich billion dollar corporations are allowed to play judge, jury, and executioner. But when the little guy stand up to it, they are murderers, have severe mental issues, etc..
This was just a furious person who took it out on the leader of a group that caused that pain.
Whether this is right, or this is wrong; as a good hard-working, honest man, I can’t say. There will be consequences, yes, but in this case, I’m not sharing any tears for this CEO or his family. And the CEO‘s family claims he was a “good man“, or they had no knowledge about his job actually was, they are turning a blind eye to reality and lying not only to themselves, but to anyone else they say it to.
I hate to say it, but I have little to no sympathy for those who run the medical industry.
Drug companies, hospitals and worse the insurance companies are evil, follow the money.
Greed doesnt pay.
Those high deductibles pushed someone to the brink.
It is hard to feel bad once it is pointed out that he was the ceo of UnitedHealth
Someone died because of denied inssurance.
Maybe insurance company shouldn't be for-profit. We are literally forced to buy their services yet they do anything but deliver on what we pay for.... 🙄🤮
My heart goes out to all the sick and poor people whose lives and savings were sacrificed to the stockholders of UnitedHealth.
Bonuses based on deny deny deny! Denied the wrong family/person. The devil is waiting with open arms
How many ppl died bc he and his company deny health insurance to poor and sick and elderly ? Died on his way to an investor meeting . . . .
Understandable . Probably denied coverage for existing conditions and high prices
Why would you show an eyewitness' face? You are totally irresponsible.
I hope they don't catch him. Justice ⚖️
Harsh
Can you tell us specifically something you disagree with him on? Or do you hear the word "insurance" and just start shrieking? Who knows I might agree with you but I'm curious what exactly he did.
Sadly I feel the same way. These ppl don’t play fair or fare
If his company did wrong by someone then sue him and/or Unitedhealthcare. Violence is never the answer.
People like you are sick.
i pray for his soul .. but im wondering who his company denied life saving care to .. insurance companies are heartless and ruthless
Who cares, Bro was a rich millionaire. Not 1 poor person would get this much media
My heart goes to all the victims of the CEO who denied healthcare to them.
Uhc was recently hacked & gave up a bunch of consumer personal data
When the price of healthcare is the same as to the cost of a hitman.
Broad daylight hits at one time were common in NYC. Not so today, but this example shows it can happen. The people who witnessed this will remember this for life.
Regardless of whether people approve or at least do not feel too concerned about this incident, this shows how screwed and unsafe NYC is nowadays.
Today was there investor day....Unreal. Something doesnt make sense.
3 shots 1 hit its target in the chest
Shit shot placement choice for a hit dont you think?
@ The person shot in morning daylight- people commuting to work- scared, with mindset to flee. Spray shots, one may hit.
Story seems odd for sure…a person mad about his Healthcare coverage or something else not being covered, financial ruin, he made CEO pay. How would he know the exact hotel location is weird. Investor day is in NYC, per press release.
Press release for Inv Day just notes NYC. Perhaps they had access to additional info, ie Invite that displayed location. Regardless, to obtain his precise hotel location is too weird. However, companies use preferred hotels.
"Immigrants are the problem." NO. Billionaires who deny coverage and cause hardship to struggling families are the real enemies in this country. HEALTHCARE SHOULD NOT BE CAPITALIZED UPON, YOU SHOULDNT HAVE TO BE WEALTHY TOGGET PRESCRIPTIONS OR VISIT A DOCTOR. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.
It is considered that big pharma, health insurance companies, and Mexican cartels operate in a very similar way.
CEO greed: “with the swipe of a pen”
Person said: “with the pull of my finger”
Shouldn't have denied that MRI requisition.
You mean the Assassin didn't follow the gun laws and the no gun signs?

@@johnpye-d2n thanks for proving gun laws don't work
You do realize using that logic you can easily say the reason why gun crimes are such a problem in Mexico is cause the US sells them the guns right?
Sad i have this insurance they basically pays for nothing i couldn't even see 6 individual doctors,I ask why? They say they don't play ball.
I have United Healthcare and they treat their members like crap.
I hope he wasn't denied coverage at the hospital 🥲
He had to sign in and do history and insurance carrier, they then needed to verify coverage before admission THEN find a specialist to work on him. Bwaahaaa oops 3 hrs later.
I feel bad for the family but to be honest I'm surprised it's taken this long for this to happen. People are so fed up of the corruption of insurance companies.
Time to switch healthcare before the season closes
This is the definition of a hit. This sounded personal
Yup, someone got screwed over!! Someone who has enough money to hire a hit!!
Trump gave him tax cuts and republicans gave the shooter the gun. This is what you voted for
makes no sense
Thoughts and prayers…to people who have to pay $3000 for 15 stitches.
His insurance wont cover those hospital bills
When the justice system fails to hold these people accountable, this is going to keep happening!
Said this many year’s, be wise because anyone can be reached 💯
Maybe, this person was screwed over by the company.
Imagine what he was planning on saying today at the meeting, obviously something that was not profitable.
RIP to those who this man denied life saving health care and medication to.
They want us to feel empathy for him, I’m choosing to feel empathy for all the people he denied healthcare to.
The comments are on 🔥🔥🔥
I have lost several providers because they won’t accept UHC anymore. Been trying to get a new doctor since June. 😡
I see that to
