I was wondering what was going on with #Luigi...

Federal prosecutors to seek #DeathPenalty for accused CEO killer #LuigiMangione

Mangione is expected to plead not guilty at his arraignment on Friday.

April 24, 2025,

"Hours before Luigi Mangione's arraignment in federal court, federal prosecutors submitted formal notice that they intend to seek the death penalty if he's convicted, citing, in part his alleged desire 'to provoke broad-based #resistance to the victim's industry' by killing #UnitedHealthcare #CEO #BrianThompson."

ABC News · Federal prosecutors to seek death penalty for accused CEO killer Luigi MangioneBy ABC News

Something that concerned me about UHC's "virtual healthcare assistant" is that even though it identifies it as a virtual healthcare assistant it doesn't fully explain what that means and it's programmed to sound human.

There will be people who miss that it's not real. Tons of reasons why: noise around you, in a rush, and just basic confusion about what a virtual healthcare assistant is.

US Attorney General Pam #Bondi on Tuesday asked prosecutors to seek the #DeathPenalty for Luigi Mangione, who allegedly gunned down an American health care CEO. "Luigi Mangione's murder of Brian Thompson -- an innocent man and father of two young children -- was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America," Bondi said in a statement. FRANCE 24's Jessica Le Masurier reports from New York.

Den Oprah-certificerede wellness-fortaler, i 🇺🇸 kendt som »Dr. Oz« bliver måske snart direktør for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)

Hvis han bliver bekræftet, har tv-lægen indvilliget i at sælge sine ca. $600.000 i #UnitedHealthcare + aktier i medicinal-industrien, -udstyr, kosttilskud og lægemidler

Anført af #UnitedHealth har forsikringsbranchen gjort en enormt profitabel algoritmisk videnskab ud af at nægte og forsinke pleje for at maksimere profitten

Truthdig · Dr. Oz and the Plot Against Medicare - TruthdigPrivate “Medicare Advantage” plans are killing seniors and bankrupting hospitals. Now the Trump administration is preparing to make them mandatory, ending Medicare as we know it.

I'm one of the 74,000 people impacted by this breakdown of contract negotiations between UnitedHealthcare and OHSU. I see specialists for a rare condition at OHSU, so this is a personal nightmare for me. If I lose coverage at OHSU, I'm going to be losing critical care for myself (and family members with the same condition).

UnitedHealth Is Sick of Everyone Complaining About Its Claim Denials
—Rolling Stone

「 UnitedHealth submitted a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission asking for approval to block a shareholder proposal that it use a third-party auditor to assess “previous customer denial claims, particularly where a death was involved, to determine if denial letters included factually incorrect and insensitive information.” 」

Rolling Stone · UnitedHealth Is Sick of Everyone Complaining About Its Claim DenialsBy Miles Klee

From the Stat newsletter: #UnitedHealthcare is facing potential shareholder lawsuits and multiple government investigations, including a Department of Justice antitrust probe focused on how it uses its physician workforce to benefit its insurance business. While it largely remains in a defensive crouch, #UnitedHealth has begun pushing back, enlisting libel attorneys to go after critics on social media, attempting to squelch dissent from shareholders, and publicly blaming hospitals and drug companies for high prices. It is also moving to align itself with the new Trump administration.

**OR** maybe admit that #greed and extracting #profit from the sick and elderly isn't a business model that makes people like you.
