The Times Tells Us What A Nice Guy United Healthcare CEO Was
The Times, which is nothing if not reliably deferential to their betters, spends a lot of time describing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson's private funeral and how much people loved him. How much the "vitriol" from the general public stunned the people closest to him, who describe him as someone who attended his sons' lacrosse games and loved golf. Via the New York Times:
He became chief executive of the insurance division, UnitedHealthcare, in April 2021, leading a unit that employs about 140,000 people and reported $281 billion in revenue last year. Under his leadership, the company’s profits rose to more than $16 billion last year from $12 billion in 2021.
And how exactly did that happen, New York Times? Anything to do with the astounding increase in denied claims under his leadership by more than 300%? Even people who love their children and are pleasant to their peers can be indifferent to human suffering if it pays off.
Nice guys don't deny claims from people recovering from strokes, is how I'd judge him.
