Current story is that it was a targeted hit.
What specifically has Bragg done to encourage assassins?
Given my many experiences with United Healthcare over the years, I can certainly imagine some. They were a PITA in so many dimensions, including requiring me to fill out lengthy questionnaires every couple of weeks in PT (broken arm and shoulder) to try and declare that I had either made enough progress and should quit or not made enough progress and should quit. They also had a drug formulary that prioritized a very expensive brand drug (like >$1K/month out-of-pocket) but wouldn't cover the generic (about $400/month out-of-pocket)--can you say kickbacks? They also required me to get a prescription for a drug that had already had terrible side effects for me as part of step therapy before they would approve the drug I actually needed. These are minor issues compared with many situations other folks have faced.

Yep there are three different groups involved in my state’s Medicaid and when people are seeking assistance it is always involving UH. I know there will be a vindictive “thoughts and prayers” group. They have treated so many badly.I'm trying to picture the Venn diagram of people with means to hire assassins and people who - but for the insurance company's denial of coverage - die or suffer horribly. I suppose hiring killers is a lot cheaper than some medical treatments
Lots of things. The constant demonization of rich whites is his thing. Be real: what would Bragg indict this man for- at most manslaughter maybe less
I never thought that you did.
Just checking.

The article in the WaPo said: "New York Police Department investigators were looking into whether anyone had a known grudge against the victim."
There was nothing in the coverage that would indicate this was a hired assassin though. (In fact, he sounds rather amateur what with leaving behind stuff that can identify him.)I'm trying to picture the Venn diagram of people with means to hire assassins and people who - but for the insurance company's denial of coverage - die or suffer horribly.

UHC has a reputation of being the worst. They are the healthcare company that self-funding companies often use and this apparently leads to a lot of denied coverage more than average.
I had UHC at one time. They were, sadly, not worst insurance I've ever had. But they were the ones who said I had to leave the hospital in 24 hours or less after giving birth. My doctors conspired to keep me for a second day (they had actual reasons, but UHC would not budge until they escalated their reasons to borderline fiction). UHC dropped that policy because of bad
I don't think anyone supports vigilante justice. On the other hand, your argument appears to be that no one deserves to die because of business decisions.What a shocking and sick defense of presumed vigilante justice.
Replace healthcare exec with abortion doctor and see how it sounds. By all means let’s change business models of things we don’t like by making their CEOs fear for their lives
