Insurance company CEO shot and killed. Police looking for motive:


I think someone has had enough. I obviously do not condone violence, but what do these companies think is going to happen when you squeeze people so much for profits? Not everyone can afford multitudes of lawyers and years of court to get the care they paid for.
The 5:00AM radio news this morning was talking about this. I believe the guy worked for United Health. They went on to say that United leads the way in the highest number of claim denials. That in no way excuses the person from killing the exec but does demonstrate how frustrated folks have become.

The older we get the less detriment life in prison sounds. Specially if doc says w/out treatment you've only got about this Long to live. In prison they have free health care in most of em IIRC

Quote from newspaper today:

"A shell casing recovered from one of the bullets fired at Thompson had the word “depose” written on it, while “delay” was written on a live round that was ejected when the shooter appeared to be clearing a jam, law enforcement sources told CNN on Thursday.

Police are exploring whether the words found indicate a motive, pointing to a popular phrase in the insurance industry: “delay, deny, defend.”

That last phrase is so true. Insurance company delayed paying for my wife's surgery, had to pay a large chunk out of pocket (OOP) to keep from going into collections. Then had to fight with the hospital to get my money back once the insurance finally paid 6 months later. Then the insurance dropped her and refused to insure her. Apparently there is a listing service (Lexis Nexus) that shows claims, and no other insurance company would insure her either. Finally got her insurance after the ACA (Obamacare) was passed and pre-existing conditions clauses were waived.

Again, not advocating violence, but with a phrase in the industry of "delay, deny, defend", what do they think is going to happen? You pay your premiums and expect a service, not a fight. As an insurance company guy told me once "you aren't the customer, you are the revenue stream. The stockholder is the customer". Jerks.

People that pull parts to fill orders shouldn’t randomly substitute “what we had” for what’s out of stock and send it with the order 🙄 what is wrong with this pic? I called and was told the above quote. Lol1000000756.jpg

My random Stihl nut &bolts pile has been drastically reduced of late, hence the order :p. Husky stuff? Got plenty of pretty much everything 🤣
I'm surprised....usually it is the Husky saws that are missing a handful of screws.
