    All claims, you say? Without questioning? You sure about that?

    UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty defended the company’s claim denial practices in an internal video which was leaked after the fatal shooting of Thompson. Recorded on December 5, the day after Thompson’s death, Witty emphasized the company’s role in ensuring “safe and appropriate” care and that the insurance giant will continue to prevent "unnecessary care”.[169] Two months after the shooting, UnitedHealth hired a defamation law firm to take action against social media posts critical of the company.[170] Prosecutors alleged that the killing had scared 40 UHC executives into hiring bodyguards.[171]
