Murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO

Ours too. My wife has been in a battle with cancer over the past 3 years and everything was covered by UHC without question. Almost a million dollars one tear alone.

Not off the top of my head. Just did a Google search.

True, but to many of us lower class folks, $10 million may as well be $100 million…It is already such an astronomical number that it’s mind-boggling.

He considered using a bomb but didn’t because that would have killed innocent people. Sounds to me that he knows the difference between right and wrong if that is the determining factor.

I don’t disagree with you. Someone said that the law states that if a defendant could tell right from wrong they can’t use an insanity defense.

Please use the medical insurance denials and problems thread for general discussions about coverage and use this thread to only discuss the specifics of this case.

A number of posts moved.

Thank you!

Temporary insanity wouldn’t work because of the very definition of it. They could, though, make the claim he is mentally ill. Mentally ill people can plan crimes, they can function, but for example they may have some problem that makes them think that some person, X, is out to get them and is driven to seek them out and eliminate the threat.

I wondered this too… as I mentioned above, there is a girl on TikTok posting videos and claiming he was with her that day. I too am not that familiar with investigations and laws but something in me thinks this just doesn’t seem like it’s ok.

If that is an attempt at humor, which I think it is meant to be, it is not funny and just bad taste. Plus a bad photoshop!

There are hundreds if not thousands of these memes out there.

Oh I am fully aware of that. I can’t decide if people are just bored and attention seeking or just plain sick.

Both, and it just gets amplified by the current nature of social media.

But the fact remains that you have no idea what his family did or didn’t do.

I’m going to trust law enforcement on this issue. They know what they need to do with evidence to preserve the chain of custody; they know how and when to get a search warrant; they know what will or will not be permissible testimony in court.

The rest of us are just speculating.

All I’ve heard the police say is that the family didn’t call in tips - nothing about who spoke to the man and when, the details of how they tried to contact him etc. Everything is speculation.

Which is why I started the paragraph with,
“You’re right, we cannot make assumptions about the parents, as we don’t and may never know all of the details.”
