Alarming 'wanted' posters of top healthcare executives popping up across New York City prompted police to issue a bulletin warning leaders of the rising threats.
In the wake of the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, video shared on social media showed 'wanted' signs featuring other healthcare corporate leaders plastered across traffic control boxes in Manhattan.
The signs featured pictures of Thompson, OptumHealth CEO Heather Cianfrocco and UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty. It is unclear who put the posters up.
The menacing posters were erected on Canal Street - one of Manhattan's busiest thoroughfares - flanked with the red and black words: 'Wanted. Denying medical care for corporate profit. Health care CEOs should not feel safe.'
The signs also included the phrase suspected shooter Luigi Mangione allegedly wrote on the bullets found at the crime scene - 'Deny. Defend. Depose.'
The alliterative trio of words reference a book by Jay Feinman's titled 'Delay, Defend, Deny: Why insurance company don't pay claims, and what you can do about it.'
A New York Police Department bulletin issued Tuesday emphasized the heightened risk on healthcare executives following Thompson's slaying, reported ABC News.
'Both prior to and after the suspected perpetrator's identification and arrest, some online users across social media platforms reacted positively to the killing, encouraged future targeting of similar executives, and shared conspiracy theories regarding the shooting,' the bulletin said.

Just did a quick check for stories on this.
Most of them are from the UK enemedia.
Interesting...
Funny it’s only being reported in the UK?
how many Americans read UK news?
So how soon will it happen again by some nut on the streets?
NY post reporting it .
Bingo.
The UK media is leftist. And they will try to sensationalize everything. Yet I will give them a huge amount of credit. They will usually cover stories that everyone else would prefer to ignore.
Among major US media sources, only the New York Post has a similar outlook.
“It is unclear who put the posters up.”
Is it really that hard to say something like: Nobody kinda knows anything about who put the posters up, least of all yours truly.
Snark off. But damned if This Guy isn’t getting sick of the phrase “it is unclear” and variants thereof used by fancypants journalists.
Yes. There’s a lack of clarity. But more than that, isn’t there actually total ignorance? And if so, why not just say that? Or does the author have a few guesses, short of total “clarity”, about who put the posters up?
Meanwhile, dare ye to quietly hold a poster that quotes from the Bible - while standing some distance from a thought police defined: “women’s health facility” (actually: fetal extermination camp[us] aka abortion “clinic”) . . . and you are swiftly arrested in the [former?] United Kingdom.
All UHC, which has stood out among the insurance companies for keeping costs down by doing public contract negotiation battles with hospital networks.
UHC’s tactics have cost those for-profit hospital networks lots of money, which is returned both to shareholders and to the patients and employers in the form of lower premiums, co-pays, etc.
Made lots of enemies though.

To be honest surgeries costing tens of thousands of dollars is not conducive to a practical health care system. A simple hydrocelectomy shouldn’t cost $8000. And $1500 for the anesthesiologist on 45 minutes procedure.
The result of the threats will be higher premiums and / or lower pay-outs.
The huge Malpractice costs are the source and very pricey medical technology
There is huge overlapping ownership of media, drug companies, and insurance companies in the USA. All democrat/ deep state adjacent.
It’s why Covid was hyped so much.
They are concerned about this horrid murder starting a note substantive discussion about the abuses of healthcare, media, and insurance.
That’s part of the problem, but it’s the bloated admin portion.
My wife is a doctor. There are something like 3:1 admin to healthcare providers at any given hospital.

3:1 is a low ratio of administrative support per professional. Pilots, professional athletes, actors, actresses, corporate executives, etc. all have a much higher ratio of administrative support staff to professional staff.
Insurance companies were using Death Panels decades before Obamacare.
That’s like saying MacDonald’s made a lot of enemies by keeping down the cost of Idaho potatoes by pressuring the farmers for low prices.
