Health Insurance Companies Take Down Leadership Pages Following Murder of UH CEO

Following the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, several major health insurance companies have removed their executive leadership pages from public access. This action was taken in response to the shooting incident that occurred on Wednesday morning in Midtown Manhattan. United Healthcare's leadership page, which previously listed its executives including the deceased CEO, now redirects to the company's homepage and is no longer accessible through Google search or the site’s navigation. Similarly, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield has also made its leadership page inaccessible, which previously featured its executives, including President and CEO Kim Keck. This decision comes amid a broader context of heightened security concerns within the industry following the tragic event.

I don’t think this information should be hidden. I hope others create sites that make clear who the leaders are that may be causing harm to them, by just parsing their filings. There should be accountability. And while I am not a fan of laws being broken for that accountability, let’s also be honest: being denied claims in illegal, or at least deeply unethical ways, is an experience MOST American adults have been through. These insurance companies make profit by denying the service you think you’re paying for. Normally that’s called stealing but when a company does it under direction from their CEO, it’s somehow legal. But when it comes to life and death situations of patient health, it’s a lot worse than just stealing.

This has the same energy as that guy that put lemon juice on his face when robbing a bank because he thought it would prevent the cameras capturing his image.

If you aren’t doing anything wrong, what do you have to worry about?

Maybe if they didn't kill people for profit, they wouldn't need to hide in the shadows like cowards.

AthenaHealth has a different type of rational self-interest, suddenly backing off an awful policy changes about anesthesia coverage. "Maybe we're pushing the overton window on acceptable levels of apathy a bit too fast?" is probably a common thought on the minds of corporate policy makers at the moment. Not, you know, goodness-of-the-heart or anything like that, just "pitchforks today mean political will for healthcare reform tomorrow, and we can't have that..."
