UnitedHealth CEO sounds alarm on a growing problem

UnitedHealth Group (UNH) , which owns UnitedHealthcare and Optum, has had a challenging few months. In December of last year, UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed in front of a Hilton hotel in midtown Manhattan.

The tragic incident had a major domino effect after it was later discovered that the suspect, Luigi Mangione, allegedly left behind bullet shell casings at the scene that had the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose” written on them.
