Someone assassinated the CEO of an American health insurance company with a silenced pistol after an investors meeting. Apparently the company is famous for turning down people's requests for treatment while the guy had a yearly salary in the ~~undreds~~ tens of millions.

They deny 37% of all claims, and he proposed that they deny payment of anesthesia during surgery if it lasts longer than an arbitrary number he pulled out of his ass.

I don't know if he proposed that, but the headlines have been for Blue Cross Blue Shield not covering anesthesia over a certain time, not United Healthcare. Both shit companies though, fuck em.

"Delay" and "Depose" were apparently written on the shell casings.

"Delay. Deny. Defend." is a common health insurance company mantra about denying service long enough that people die so the company doesn't have to pay for the Healthcare they're entitled to.

Insurance pre-authorization for medical care should be outlawed. If a doctor orders a procedure, the insurance company shouldn't be allowed to say "no." But they are because our system is super fucked.
