I don't think people are celebrating because of who he was, but because of what he represents to them.

A user in another post wrote that denials went from single digits to 20% when he became CEO.

If that's true, then people are celebrating both for who he was AND what he represents.

That is indeed the case, though there's more to those numbers. Thos are numbers for prior authorization denials, but they're also from a report focused on Medicare Advantage plans for elderly and disabled folks (you know, the people who would be most fucked over by denials). Pulled from https://en.wikipedia.org/...

The investigation revealed that in 2019, UHC's prior authorization denial rate was 8.7%. Thompson became CEO in 2021, and by 2022 the rate of denial had increased to 22.7%.

As an added bonus, there's also this insanity that he tried to push through:

In 2021, Thompson was criticized in an open letter from the American Hospital Association regarding a plan from UnitedHealthcare to start denying payment for what it deemed non-critical visits to hospital emergency rooms. UnitedHealthcare responded by delaying rollout of the change.

I wonder if UHC has ever denied coverage to victims of gunshot wounds?

His murder was clearly a message to Healthcare CEOs intended to scare them.

That makes it terrorism, and life insurance policies usually have an exception for death in a terrorist attack.
