Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, led the company to record-breaking revenues—$98.9 billion in a single quarter—while implementing some of the most controversial policies in modern healthcare. He took over in 2021, right after COVID, and quickly became a polarizing figure. One of his most infamous moves? Denying payments for “non-critical” ER visits, a policy critics said penalized patients for seeking care when they needed it most. Thompson’s policies turned UnitedHealthcare into a symbol of corporate-first greed in a system already under fire for prioritizing profits over people. He was assassinated outside a Manhattan hotel in what police are calling a targeted act. The assassin is still at large.
