Moderators Delete Reddit Thread as Doctors Torch Dead UnitedHealthcare CEO

“When other’s human lives are deemed worthless, it is not surprising to have others view your life of no value as well,” wrote one medical doctor, whose identity the Daily Beast confirmed.

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.

          For point of fact I’m more on the socialist side since in my country we have had universal healthcare for years and are a better society for it instead of being gun trotting savage capitalist…

          That’s a you buddy @inv3r510n@lemmy.world

            You’re a social democrat, which is another form of a liberal. You support capitalism. You support extracting resources from the global south. You’re a smug European enlightened centrist who hasn’t got a fucking clue what they’re talking about when it comes to American issues or political definitions in general.

            I am not a capitalist and I don’t know how you managed to get that out of this. You must think I’m right wing, but that just goes to show you do not understand Americans.

            Let me tell you about my state. Vermont. We’re the home of Bernie Sanders, the highest per capita LGBTQ population (first state to support civil unions), and one of the highest gun owning states with the loosest laws. We’ve got legal weed and you can grow your own (most states prohibit), and abortion is a right codified in our state constitution (the US is 50 countries in a trench coat plus some exploited territories). We were once our own country separate of the US and prior to it, and we lasted longer as an independent republic than the confederacy during the civil war lolololol.
