UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty claimed his firm guards against “unnecessary” care.

Summary

UnitedHealth CEO Andrew Witty criticized public outrage over the health insurance industry following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson.

In a leaked video to staff, Witty dismissed criticism as “misinformation” and urged employees not to engage with media.

Thompson’s murder outside a Manhattan hotel has intensified scrutiny of the industry’s practices, with bullet casings found at the scene bearing phrases linked to insurance claim denial tactics.

The killing has sparked debate on UnitedHealthcare’s history of denying claims, while the shooter remains at large.

Witty faces unrelated DOJ insider trading allegations.

    There he goes again, issuing yet more denials, and denying new claims and whatnot. Thats what got them here in the first place, christ. Have they learned nothing, this is very unwitty of “Mr. Witty”

    Also, can we very much continue and expand with prefacing the pos’ name with the pre-nomial “$millions” they are compensated to spout their bullshit? Reminds me of congressmen being required to wear decals of their sponsors like racecars or something
