Just going to go out on a ledge here and guess that a loved one of the shooter died because of some insurance denial.

I’ll just go ahead and drop this link about UnitedHealth’s use of deeply flawed models to deny coverage:

  • It's a major regulatory failure to allow insurance companies to deny any claims at all of items that have an FDA approved indication. Ideally, the insurance company should not be able to legally deny any FDA approved action that a licensed doctor has prescribed, with no exceptions. Insurance companies are not doctors, and they should not get to play doctor.

Very likely. It was very likely planned in advance due today being “investor day”. A person with nothing to lose at this point.

“ UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) will host its annual Investor Conference for analysts and institutional investors in New York City on Wednesday, December 4, 2024, beginning at 8:00 a.m. EST.” [1]
