For information purposes, Luigi pled not guilty.

“They’re putting all of this effort and the death penalty behind one person who allegedly killed one CEO who is responsible and profiting off of the death of thousands upon thousands of sick people and bringing people into financial ruin as well as death,” said Tilly, a Mangione supporter wearing a lime green jacket and light green sunglasses. “They do not put this same effort behind, say, school shooters or people who shoot up concerts.”

“It shows that the state has more care for the uber-wealthy and the CEOs that are profiting off of people’s death and pain than they do for the people.”

UnitedHealthcare has defended the company and Thompson. In a December statement, UnitedHealthcare said “highly inaccurate and grossly misleading information has been circulated about our company’s treatment of insurance claims” and that it “approves and pays about 90% of medical claims upon submission.”

Having worked with insurance companies, this is a PR metric. Volume of claims in no way equals cost of claims. If the denied 10% are suspiciously in line with the procedures that contain the top 40% of costs, there is a problem.

People don't care if you covered a generic version of a bottle of Tylenol, they care if you bankrupt them or leave them with no hope.

I don’t believe any of their self reported “facts”. They were using AI to deny claims and they were stealing large amounts of money from Medicare.

It would be so much more interesting to see the % of dollars claimed.
