Not sure, but many Freepers here were among those who reacted with joy at his death.

Among them were one tweeter who wrote: 'Brian Thompson ran a company based off exploiting people during the most vulnerable times in their life. 'I'm not sad he's dead.'

Why don't people ever say this about government, politicians and government employees when Government intervenes and screws up their lives - which occurs every day?

In Canada, for example, everyone agrees Government health-care denies and hurts many people "when they are most vulnerable," and their answer is to offer you assisted suicide. And self-righteous leftists cheer how compassionate they are.

Having experienced many Statements of No Benefit myself and having known of many others who also experienced the ‘excellence’ of American health insurance, I am neither surprised nor in mourning.

A congressman has condemned internet trolls currently gloating over the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

No doubt a democrat congressman who was gloating over the fact that Trump was shot in the head, and believes the DOJ and FBI are doing a fine job.

I am on Medicare and have United Healthcare as an additional coverage. For all of these morons that are complaining, no one is making them use United Healthcare. There are plenty of other insurance companies. Are these same morons happy with their Obamacare coverage?

I can't object too strenuously to them choosing someone who made his fortune making healthcare worse and more expensive.

Is he talking about Obama and ObamaCare?

These assassinations/attempts will be ramping up. Just a hunch.

His wife was quoted in another article as saying he had been receiving threats.

Also, someone mentioned the company had been hacked or had some cybersecurity incident back in February.

I wonder if there was an extortion attempt based on information acquired by the hackers?

My mother is on United Healthcare. Other than coverage going down, and premiums going up every year (industry wide), I have had no problems with their service during her current cancer fight.

The DoJ then filed a lawsuit in October naming Thompson and other executives, accusing the CEO of failing to tell investors about the federal probe before he unloaded over 31 percent of his stock, taking in $15.1 million in proceeds.

In legal documents, investigators said that Thompson and other company execs sold over $117 million worth of UnitedHealth common stock during the four-month period when insiders knew about the federal antitrust investigation but the public did not....”

God loved him, just as much as each and everyone else, good and bad.

Nobody should kill like this.
