Moderators delete Reddit thread as doctors torch dead UnitedHealthcare CEO
“When other’s human lives are deemed worthless, it is not surprising to have others view your life of no value as well,” wrote one medical doctor, whose identity the Daily Beast confirmed.
Summary
Reddit’s r/medicine moderators deleted a thread where doctors and users harshly criticized murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Comments, including satirical rejections of insurance claims for gunshot wounds, targeted UHC’s reputation for denying care to boost profits.
Despite the removal, similar discussions continue, with medical professionals condemning UHC’s business practices under Thompson’s leadership, which a Senate report recently criticized for denying post-acute care.
Thompson, shot in what appears to be a targeted attack, led a company notorious for its high claim denial rates, fueling ongoing debates about corporate ethics in healthcare.

This is a really uncomfortable situation for me as a user and made me want to use Lemmy even more
I, for one, pray to be alive for the day that the French Revolution comes back to life and makes meaningful landfall on American shores.
This might just be the start!
Yep. Fuck censorship.
Too many people think it's acceptable until something they support is being censored.
It's not censorship, censorship is when the state censors certain topics etc.
This is rich owners of large, easy to use and free social media websites trying to shape the conversation.
This is what happens when you think the state and the wealthy are distinct. But it’s one big capitalist system. The wealthy run the state, and they own the media, and they fund the “non-profit” think tanks & media.
This is what happens when you think the state and the wealthy are distinct.
They absolutely are.
The rich influence almost all politics, but the state and ultra wealthy have to follow totally different rules to achieve their goals. Sometimes the ultra rich are politicians, then it's complicated.
Also, you're American and in love with violence.
Haha I am German (living in Germany as well, not some kind of US american that says they're German). But thanks I guess
Congratulations on defending Nazi methods then.
Please go interact with people in real life.
You know that these doctors weren't touting violence, they were talking about the crazy situations which they found themselves in with healthcare insurances.
Shut up dumbass.
👆Average American being told that murdering isn't cool.
Also, you're a dumb ass
And a troll through and through. It's nice when they make it easy to spot the ones to block.
At least I'm not a murderous Nazi fuck :)
What makes you think sexy peach is American? They might be, but I can think of a few indicators to the contrary.
Indicators to the contrary:
their instance
they are writing comments in fluent German
I have their IP address (no just kidding, or am I)
We're victims of our environment
