i heard about the story but i dont know any of the details - why do people like this guy/hate united healthcare ceo can somebody explain?
UHC is top insurance company per the stock market.
UHC denies the most claims costing people their lives who can't afford medical care out of pocket.
Shooter is praised for pulling an uno reverse card on the UHC CEO by denying them medical care through taking their life.
Also, a lawsuit last year was accusing the company of using AI to automatically deny claims - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/unitedhealth-lawsuit-ai-deny-claims-medicare-advantage-health-insurance-denials/

It's also important to note that medical bankruptcy is a major cause of suicide in America
Healthcare companies, especially insurance companies, make a living out of denying claims so that people go bankrupt and/or die from denied claims. It's unethical and downright evil, but they do it anyway. It would be hard not to hate the CEOs of those companies. After all, medical expenses is the leading cause of bankruptcies in USA.
Important to point out this is usually after they've been paying for that insurance their whole life.
Do you really need to ask why we hate a health insurance CEO?
yes, i heard insurance is pretty bad in USA but ive just learnt the extent of it thanks to the other user who gave an actual answer to my question
