A web page listing the corporate leadership team behind Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), one of America's biggest health insurers, has disappeared from the company's website.

The web page appeared to have vanished after the fatal shooting of CEO of UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson, in New York in what police described as a "premeditated, preplanned targeted attack."

Newsweek has reached out to Anthem BCBS via email for comment.

The sudden disappearance of the page sparked mass speculation on Reddit, with the post highlighting the change earning over 34,000 upvotes and generating 1,600 comments.

It comes at the end of a week in which Anthem BCBS abruptly reversed a recent decision to no longer reimburse anesthesia services for the complete duration of certain surgical procedures.

The decision was set to cover patients with plans in Connecticut, New York and Missouri and would have seen the insurer introduce a partial coverage mode based on "physician work time values" from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

There’s no such thing as “health insurance”. It’s all a “pre-paid maintenance plan” now with an excremental payout and a grift trail that rivals planetary orbits.

Good thing for them there isn’t a Wayback Machine that can recover old copies of deleted web pages.

And even better that there isn’t something called Edgar that makes SEC 10k filings available with officer names and salaries.

They can run, but they can’t hide.
