It’s been just over a month since the tragic murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson sent shockwaves through the healthcare industry and exposed public frustrations with insurers. In the aftermath, tensions have escalated, with healthcare organizations facing additional threats of violence amid calls for meaningful change.
Mr. Thompson was killed Dec. 4 outside the New York Hilton Midtown, where UnitedHealth Group was hosting its annual investor day conference.

Investigators also discovered the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose” written on shell casings at the crime scene.
