UnitedHealthcare has disabled social media comments on its profiles after disgruntled patients began flooding the company with complaints following the assassination of its CEO.
The health insurer has been deluged by comments, many from people who say their or their loved ones claims have been denied. Its most recent Instagram posts announcing the death of Thompson let users like or share the post, but not comment on it.
The company is in the spotlight following the assassination of CEO Bryan Thompson, 50, who was gunned down on his way to an appearance at an investor conference in New York on Wednesday.
Thompson was expected to announce the business' hugely profitable 2025 financial outlook, including expected revenues upwards of $450 billion.
A motive has not been released for the slaying, but police discovered bullets inscribed with the words 'deny', 'defend' and 'depose' at the scene.
The inscriptions bear similarity to the Jay M Feinman's book Delay, Deny, Defend about the viciousness of the health insurance industry.
UnitedHealthcare put out a statement on social media expressing their sorrow following the murder, but was quickly inundated with angry comments. Currently, the most recent Instagram post where users can comment is from November 21.
'Just had a coworker find out she has cancer in her small bowel was denied a PET scan she is a registered nurse. Insurance is a scam and a money grab for the greedy. What a shame,' one person wrote on Instagram.
'UHC has been denying my husband an asthma drug he's been on for five years. It turned him from a very severe asthmatic to someone who barely has asthma at all,' another wrote on Facebook.

I’m curious what his relationship is to a bunch of health issues. Gender affirming care for minors? Mandatory COVID shots? Cheating patients out of money? I’m surprised that there isn’t more vigilante-ism going on.
I recall the teen that ran down a mother with her stroller in LA. The DA let him off. Six months later he was gunned down in his driveway. There will be a justice system or vigilante-ism, the elites must make a careful choice.
Words fail me.
Committees of Vigilance used to exist for reasons....
What makes you think this guy is through? He might just be out there shopping for a better functioning gun before he goes for target #2.
Was it the perpetrated or the DA that got it?
The perp. The DA got his walking papers in November.
This is a result of obamacare.
Not a bug but a feature.
THANK YOU MUCH
I’m still upset when united health denied coverage for a microscope for microscopic surgery on my son
United Healthcare needs to submit Alvin Bragg as the new CEO.
