Brian Thompson, 50, was killed in a “premeditated, preplanned targeted attack,” police said.

Summary

Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was fatally shot in a premeditated attack outside the New York Hilton Midtown before speaking at an investor conference.

The gunman, still at large, fired multiple times, leaving shell casings marked with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose.”

Authorities suggest Thompson was targeted but remain unclear on the motive. His wife confirmed prior threats against him.

Analysts speculate a possible vendetta tied to his company. The case raises questions about executive security, as Thompson lacked personal protection despite known risks.

    I’m not sure how the size of Cuba has any connection to numbers of doctors per capita. In any case, they didn’t used to have nearly so many, it was just like any other poor, exploited, undeveloped nation, and people frequently died from lack of care. When the communists came to power, they immediately focused on things like education and healthcare, and now they have so many doctors they regularly send them out to other countries in humanitarian missions, where before they were the ones in need of humanitarian aid. So yes, just looking from past examples, there would definitely be doctors and hospitals with communists in charge, moreso than under capitalism even, and more accessible.

    Help me figure this out. In the region I’ve lived my whole life, older hospitals that were initially established by churches have been left to crumble or have been bought out by other corporate run healthcare facilities. So, without these new hospitals, in your mind, what would the future of health care have been in this region?

    Obviously, you’d just have the state build those hospitals. What reason is there that hospitals should be profit-seeking?
