Outrage Persists Against UnitedHealth After Brian Thompson Killing
Brian Thompson’s late-2024 killing, he was a UnitedHealthcare executive, has kept driving public anger at health insurers. Complaints focus on rising premium and medical costs and a broader backlash against corporate medicine, with CVS Health’s Aetna and Cigna also targeted. Authorities and the company say the defendant had no direct dealings with UnitedHealthcare, and prosecutors secured a guilty plea in federal court to charges involving interstate stalking resulting in death.
