the fact that Healthcare CEO's make 12-15 million a year and NEED a minimum of 2-3 bodyguards (that are paid for by the company) with them AT ALL times, tells you something about how much profit there is in the healthcare system .
and do you know how many colleges and universities there are in America, all of which hungry kids will get out of and need jobs in any one of the hundreds of companies he owned .......
Not really. I played college soccer with a kid who’s family we’re billionaires. We literally had secret service type bodyguards that were “around” campus 24/7 and around him. We were allowed to party and do fun things, but everyone on the team had to sign something saying that we were allowed to be checked out. It was pretty crazy. We would go to house parties and we saw black SUV’s drive by occasional and we knew it was just his body guards. It was pretty cool actually
yep, Healthcare top people that make this bank $$$$ don't care about the people, they CARE about how much money they can make off of people... so i am GLAD CEO Brian Thompson is GONE FROM THIS WORLD, now his family can feel like many many many others, when they did not have enough "health insurance money" and they had to watch a loved one slowly pass away... while the HEALTH INSURANCE BIG ELITES ARE COUNTING THAT $$
From 2021 when he became CEO, he raised the denial rate from 8% to a whopping industry high of 21%. Go figure. $22bn in profits last year. Insider trading charges. Career full of screwing people over, doubled down when he became ceo. 'Chat shit get banged' as we say in the UK.
See a comment like that is just horrible. Why are people scumbags. No matter what you feel of healthcare this man has a family and 2 kids he left behind. NOBODY even my worst enemy doesn’t deserve to be gunned down and life shortened by another man. I hope you find peace within yourself to realize how F’d that comment is. Especially your doing it behind your keyboard….. ZERO CLASS and you sir is what is wrong with people today. Heartless and Cold.
He got rich because ceo's get paid a lot of money. Because companies think they're important. There will be another ceo for that company before the month is over. And the same problems we had prior to him being murdered will still be there. Nothing gained just a loss of life and potentially an increase in pay for citizens.
He was in charge of a company that makes $100 billion per year. These are some of the most braindead comments in history. And people celebrating this, do you REALLY think the insurance companies are all going to get scared and start treating you better? They're just going to donate to gun control groups and hire better security and do more remote meetings.
You can't tell me you care more about a 401k than someone's healthcare. What's the point of PAYING for health insurance if the company is going to deny you and worry about their profits?@@justayoutuber1906
What about the people PAYING for an insurance policy and being denied coverage while the company rakes in profits? I don't think they're worried about 401ks.@@justayoutuber1906
aww poor guy had too much of an ego to stay in the hilton with the rest of the junior execs/peasants....in the end that's what got him. although seems like he was a dead man walking. he came into power in 2021, raised the denial rate from 8% to a crazy 21%, by far worst in the industry. they had $22bn in profits last year...insane

As long as these large corporations and CEOs prioritize record profits over people's overall health and well-being, this will likely get worse!! It's not rocket science.
Health insurance companies don't do anything about anyone's health or wellbeing. If you eat junk and don't exercise it doesn't matter if your insurance covers everything. If your hospital is incompetent it doesn't matter if everything was covered by insurance. As long as we buy into the scam that we can have healthcare with someone else paying for it the quality is going to go down hill and we're going to be blaming everyone else but ourselves. This business model is a scam, it doesn't work, but people insist on it so should I blame the company or the people?
Are you dumb? Being a bodyguard is a job. Sure, the guy was an asshole. But why pin all the blame on him? There could be a variety reasons as to why he's a "former" bodyguard. You don't speak for God about his divine judgement. Keep your mouth sealed.
@@thetrib1 and what your not looking at is the why. I don't think this had anything to do with insurance. His bodyguard walked away from the job to protect himself. Thompson was the lead suspect in a massive insider trading scam. He was the youngest and least powerful in that group. He was a probable turncoat. His security goes away, and days later he's dropped? Weeks after he's named in an investigation? This was a hit to keep order. The bullets, the escape, and the complete lack of evidence suggest a pro. He was never at a hostel. He wouldn't be there that long.
The gun did not jam. The handgun action required to be manually cycled. He cycled the gun and stayed on battery showing training and proficiency with that type of firearm.
This dude is a joke. The guy couldve still gotten the ceo even if this dude was there protecting him. Most people dont have the sheer will to go thru this. He did
Did you even watch the interview? It woulda been 10x harder to track Thompson because the security protocol would've been changed. Also, there woulda been armed witnesses meaning the odds of the perpetrator escaping like he did on a bike is extremely low. This stacks the odds against the shooter tremendously to the point that I doubt he makes the attempt.
A healthcare company that got over 1 billion in profits should tell you everything you need to know about this entire situation. For profit health-care is one of the most disgusting industries you will ever run across. That shit needs to be outlawed and made illegal.
Because we so care what his goons think. Thats the arrogance of these people. They are frustrated with us because we won’t let them tell us how to feel.

Exact same jacket. Also pics you mention are from three complete different situations: full face well lit at hostel, masked at Starbucks, and dark background video still outside of Hilton. There is no picture of the backpack darker, it is lighter. You are imagining some conspiracy

I saw a different jacket on the biker- one that hung below backpack-like a coat; it appeared that the bike rider wore a hat rather than a hoody to cover his head. I also noticed that the very bright white rubber strip on the rim of the shooter’s tennis shoes does not appear in photos of the bike rider. Even the backpack on the shooter spears to be a different size & shape, although he could have stashed the gun into it or taken the battery pack out. I’m not a conspiracy theorist and these photos are blurry….just a thought that there may have been a decoy.
It takes a cold and calculating kind of person to inflict so much misery on vulnerable and in some cases terminally ill people. It would not be a stretch to say that after every crime this man has committed, he saw himself as untouchable and not in need of security. And that arrogance was his downfall.
I recently went to Sonora close to the border and I saw people in extreme poverty , then I heard how much money this CEO made and I can’t imagine how he made his money by refusing coverage to a lot of people, but is ok to make millions of dollars while people suffer everyday? I can’t get it how someone can live like this, really ? When people are dying because lack of coverage.
why do they need people around them to protect them? Is there a collective conscious where we understand that that nature of a company that makes so much money can only do so through exploitation? Literally why would he need body guards? I think we all know the answer to that question and were beating around the bush blaming the poor people for it.
@ It’s the system that is to blame. Look a little bit deeper than the surface. The CEO is just a man. Did his killing change the healthcare policies? He will be replaced tomorrow and healthcare will still be a joke. So no the CEO is not denying claims, it is corporate greed, healthcare companies, big pharma, Wall Street, lobbyists. I don’t see these people being outraged by the politicians who make the policies. Nothing will change. It was just a senseless killing.
@@LovelyLaureness He would have had to hire another room adjacent to his room for security stay in, its usually within the contract since security isn't allowed to just sit in hallway 24/7. It would of more than doubled his cost just for a short investors meeting.
@@oreldm Trump has been working on Healthcare since 2016. I think we’re now at the point, to use a different legal phrase, that ‘healthcare delayed is healthcare denied.'
An industry so shady that its ceo needs ten security guards because swindling the sick is the number one order of business. I guess that’s a cost too. I wouldn’t defend these type of people. They deserve to live at their own risk. You can’t stop a suicide bomber who’s sick and dying because the insurance company won’t provide the treatment.
Instead of talking about the million lives that got ruined by this health insurance company we are talking about why and how the security measurements of this CEO failed. That says it all to me. If they spend so much time on every customer to help them and give them the proper need this wasn't necessary at all. There are a lot of of greedy people out there with the same mindset, and i can tell you some of them deserve the same.
My man’s shilling his own bodyguard business. Shit like this has made me lose faith in humanity. Is it worth selling your soul to gain the world? I don’t think so.
okay so whats his company’s name? kinda hard to shill a company nobody even knows the name to. My guess is you saw his last name and made wild assumptions
The gun didn’t jam. He used what’s called a B&T Station 6 which is a single action bolt gun that’s silenced and used by assassins. It’s designed like that to keep super quite.
@@mollybloom5816 Minimally the same design: B&T VP9 Veterinary pistol has the same design as the B&T Station SIX-9 (Edit: VP9 = renamed for the US market)
Maybe he knew that he was gonna get in trouble for insider trading so he put out a H It on himself to make sure his family got to keep all that blood money so refused bodyguard cause he knew it was coming or his wife set him up just theories
Insurance companies inflate the price of healthcare to the roof and lower the standards. Nowadays, insurance companies profit from paying pharma and hospitals, too. They own the whole industry.
Why was he allowed to remove his security detail? My CEO family member is always surrounded by a security team, NO CHOICE. That security detail is ALWAYS mandatory

They have so much what? Their net worth is primarily stocks in their own companies, when they're gone the value disappears. What small amount of "cash" they own that isn't owed as debt is a number invented on a computer by a government. I'm not against all vigilanteism but targeting rich people because of their wealth is abhorrent crab in a barrel behavior. I would gladly take the CEO's side against jealous, self-righteous, envious, evil "poor" people who will commit literal murder because they're sad about being in the top 5% globally instead of the top 1%.
@@briannerk3373 Net worth is an invented number based on theoretical value of properties that changes every second depending on the market. Real wealth is measured in quality of life. The bottom 50% have a MUCH better quality of life than they did 100 years ago when the wealth distribution was supposedly so much more level. It wasn't more level, the numbers were just smaller. We have bigger numbers now because inflation and because our currency is digital and isn't constrained to what we can physically print or stamp into metal.
Something tells me their is more to this story than meets they eye. How did the assassin know exactly where the target would be ? Who would benefit by his death? Seems too sophisticated to be some disgruntled customer or employee. Everyone is jumping on this as some political stunt something smells off here .
No one is talking about him being investigated recently for insider trading so on top of recklessly killing sick people including kids women and elderly in desperate need, he also allegedly embezzles money and lives likely 80% off the company dime. 😆
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AT ALL THE shooter has a BLACK water resistant shiny rain coat and why the Starbucks customer is wearing a canvas GREEN OR OLIVE jacket with grey hoodie.
Security is definitely indispensable for the leaders of large corporation who bilk the public considering the proliferation of guns and growing pain of others. More security needed as the rich get richer and poor get poorer… Do you think the coming administration cares about preserving ObamaCare, MediCare, or Social Security?? It’s even threatening to dissolve the Department of Education-do you really think services like Special Education will benefit?! The worship of the Golden Calf will make matters much worse!!
This guy is yet another "expert" issuing opinions. He said something about celebrities staying at secondary hotels which is nonsense. Rock stars for decades and movie stars and authors and so on register under assumed names and use private elevators if they are that big and this is common practice. This guy seems like a windbag.
Don’t need to ouch for change when we are clearly being abused by the health insurance companies. Many of these companies better pull it together because people are suffering and tired. Good luck!
US legal (with stamps) market update of B&T S-6. And you a correct, it is essentially bolt action and the shooter has to manually cycle it each shot. It did not jam. This bodyguard is not real smart and jumping to conclusions. I will say though that NYP real world hit on target per shot fired is like 1/11, so 2/3 isn't bad with both shooter and victim moving. Also it is ball amm, that firearm does not take HP-Self Defense rounds. Also subsonic is less power. Probably first or second shot was CNS (Central nervous system/upper spine) or hit to heart which is better than average for pistol three shots on moving target.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist and these photos are blurry….just a thought that there may have been a decoy.
@@teo2975 Found the CEO boot licker.
It takes a cold and calculating kind of person to inflict so much misery on vulnerable and in some cases terminally ill people. It would not be a stretch to say that after every crime this man has committed, he saw himself as untouchable and not in need of security. And that arrogance was his downfall.
So much greed everywhere.
I don’t see the connection. if anything ppl like this get more security
No one really cares to be honest. Insurance companies are shady. HIS FAMILY MUST HAVE MONEY SO THEYLL BE OK 🤷🏻♂️
I recently went to Sonora close to the border and I saw people in extreme poverty , then I heard how much money this CEO made and I can’t imagine how he made his money by refusing coverage to a lot of people, but is ok to make millions of dollars while people suffer everyday? I can’t get it how someone can live like this, really ? When people are dying because lack of coverage.
I Totally Agree.
So is it OK to eat while other people in the world go hungry or is that also wrong?
And not only him; his stockholders are also benefiting from denying needed health coverage.
Don't you think people eating, is slightly different than making multi-millions off of denying people healthcare?
@@48natureRockefellers
why do they need people around them to protect them? Is there a collective conscious where we understand that that nature of a company that makes so much money can only do so through exploitation? Literally why would he need body guards? I think we all know the answer to that question and were beating around the bush blaming the poor people for it.
10 Agents guarding you at $100 - $500 an hour, no wonder he didnt wanna pay lol.
He didn’t wanna pay? Damn people are dumb. The CEO isn’t denying claims ffs
@@Drjackdempsey9644 The CEO had no control over the processes, procedures or methods of denying claims?
@ It’s the system that is to blame. Look a little bit deeper than the surface. The CEO is just a man. Did his killing change the healthcare policies? He will be replaced tomorrow and healthcare will still be a joke. So no the CEO is not denying claims, it is corporate greed, healthcare companies, big pharma, Wall Street, lobbyists. I don’t see these people being outraged by the politicians who make the policies. Nothing will change. It was just a senseless killing.
His room was 6k a night
@@LovelyLaureness He would have had to hire another room adjacent to his room for security stay in, its usually within the contract since security isn't allowed to just sit in hallway 24/7. It would of more than doubled his cost just for a short investors meeting.
He isn't an important man. He is a rich man.

Don't worry Trump's new Healthcare system will fix everything
@@oreldm
Trump has been working on Healthcare since 2016.
I think we’re now at the point, to use a different legal phrase, that ‘healthcare delayed is healthcare denied.'
@@bobiel9048 Yea I guess it takes awhile ha ha
You are protecting the wrong people.
Good moral people dont need bodyguards.
Well i for one am glad he chose not to have a body guard that day :)
He wasn’t in network
Maybe they'll start helping us instead of bleeding us dry.
Thompson applied for a pre authorization for protection but United denied it😂😂😂
An industry so shady that its ceo needs ten security guards because swindling the sick is the number one order of business. I guess that’s a cost too. I wouldn’t defend these type of people. They deserve to live at their own risk. You can’t stop a suicide bomber who’s sick and dying because the insurance company won’t provide the treatment.
this is every industry wtf are you talking about? who in this video is a suicide bomber?
We need some copy cats
Not some , LOTS
Instead of talking about the million lives that got ruined by this health insurance company we are talking about why and how the security measurements of this CEO failed.
That says it all to me.
If they spend so much time on every customer to help them and give them the proper need this wasn't necessary at all.
There are a lot of of greedy people out there with the same mindset, and i can tell you some of them deserve the same.
My man’s shilling his own bodyguard business. Shit like this has made me lose faith in humanity. Is it worth selling your soul to gain the world? I don’t think so.
okay so whats his company’s name? kinda hard to shill a company nobody even knows the name to. My guess is you saw his last name and made wild assumptions
Where was his bodyguard this time!?!?
Who cares? He's just an ordinary citizen like everyone else. Nothing special about him.
ordinary people don't become CEOs. they work in fast food restaurants
He was being investigated for insider trading by the DOJ.
Links?
The gun didn’t jam. He used what’s called a B&T Station 6 which is a single action bolt gun that’s silenced and used by assassins. It’s designed like that to keep super quite.
Certain investigators opine it is the type of weapon used by veterinarians.
@@mollybloom5816 Minimally the same design: B&T VP9 Veterinary pistol has the same design as the B&T Station SIX-9
(Edit: VP9 = renamed for the US market)
"Please! I'm just a Healthcare Executive!!"
LOL
He should not NEED protection. Company should provide coverage. This is what happens when you screw enough people up.
He got shot...I think that's as good of evidence as any to say that he NEEDED protection
i don’t get it. he screwed his own company’s security? what are you even trying to say?
The gun didn't jam!! It was a bolt action "vet" gun. Look up B&T Station Six 9
It's not baffling, IT'S A FESTIVUS MIRACLE!!! 😂😂😂😂
The gun did not jam.. It was not a semi automatic gun.
It would be hysterical if UHC denied his claim for security.
The fact that a CEO would need security is what's baffling!
Maybe he knew that he was gonna get in trouble for insider trading so he put out a H It on himself to make sure his family got to keep all that blood money so refused bodyguard cause he knew it was coming or his wife set him up just theories
Nah, he seemed very arrogant
Here is a tought. Instead of paying bodyguard, don't deny playment to people that needs it.
Insurance companies inflate the price of healthcare to the roof and lower the standards. Nowadays, insurance companies profit from paying pharma and hospitals, too. They own the whole industry.
Why was he allowed to remove his security detail?
My CEO family member is always surrounded by a security team, NO CHOICE. That security detail is ALWAYS mandatory
Nobody should get "body guards". I see no crime.
Beautiful, time to turn your sights on oligarchs and billionaires, it’s not ok for so few to have so much!
You are an anti-American Communist. Before America's Moral Collapse,
we USED to ROOT FOR SUCCESS! We encouraged each other to go as
far as our talents and ambitions would take us. We REJOICED when people
made TONS of money! Yes THAT was America, believe it or not.
Vermin like yourself should LEAVE AMERICA ASAP, and go to a "Worker's
Paradise", like maybe CUBA? You are a CANCER here. There? You will feel
right at home, where everyone is equally impoverished, which is what
communism brings.
The top 1% have approximately $50 Trillion in net worth at this point; the bottom 50%, like 2-3ish trillion.
Imagine willingly signing up for Amazon and blaming Bezos.
They have so much what? Their net worth is primarily stocks in their own companies, when they're gone the value disappears. What small amount of "cash" they own that isn't owed as debt is a number invented on a computer by a government. I'm not against all vigilanteism but targeting rich people because of their wealth is abhorrent crab in a barrel behavior. I would gladly take the CEO's side against jealous, self-righteous, envious, evil "poor" people who will commit literal murder because they're sad about being in the top 5% globally instead of the top 1%.
@@briannerk3373 Net worth is an invented number based on theoretical value of properties that changes every second depending on the market. Real wealth is measured in quality of life. The bottom 50% have a MUCH better quality of life than they did 100 years ago when the wealth distribution was supposedly so much more level. It wasn't more level, the numbers were just smaller. We have bigger numbers now because inflation and because our currency is digital and isn't constrained to what we can physically print or stamp into metal.
Uhc probably denied coverage for the bubble.
Something tells me their is more to this story than meets they eye. How did the assassin know exactly where the target would be ? Who would benefit by his death? Seems too sophisticated to be some disgruntled customer or employee. Everyone is jumping on this as some political stunt something smells off here .
No one is talking about him being investigated recently for insider trading so on top of recklessly killing sick people including kids women and elderly in desperate need, he also allegedly embezzles money and lives likely 80% off the company dime. 😆
Yeah, what’s up with that? When you make a profit at the expense of countless customers health and lives, you need protection. Top notch protection.
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AT ALL THE shooter has a BLACK water resistant shiny rain coat and why the Starbucks customer is wearing a canvas GREEN OR OLIVE jacket with grey hoodie.
Why cant we hear the questions asked?
Do all CEO's have bodyguards? Are they that much at risk for kidnapping or murder?
Security is definitely indispensable for the leaders of large corporation who bilk the public considering the proliferation of guns and growing pain of others. More security needed as the rich get richer and poor get poorer…
Do you think the coming administration cares about preserving ObamaCare, MediCare, or Social Security?? It’s even threatening to dissolve the Department of Education-do you really think services like Special Education will benefit?! The worship of the Golden Calf will make matters much worse!!
This man had a family too and never deserved to go out like this
You know you’re not doing good things when you’re “just a businessman” yet need a bodyguard.
This guy is yet another "expert" issuing opinions. He said something about celebrities staying at secondary hotels which is nonsense. Rock stars for decades and movie stars and authors and so on register under assumed names and use private elevators if they are that big and this is common practice. This guy seems like a windbag.
Live your life so that you don't need a bodyguard
the 2nd Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms. There must be a good reason
The United States Should Have Universal Healthcare like every other country.
Damn sounds like he got denied coverage by United
Don’t need to ouch for change when we are clearly being abused by the health insurance companies. Many of these companies better pull it together because people are suffering and tired. Good luck!
He’s in a better place!
I hear it’s very hot there, hope he doesn’t get a heat stroke and have his treatment denied
Protection should have been paid for by his own decision to have protection with such a great salary he received from the company.
Wrong, the guy did NOT jam, it is a B&T S-6, and functioned exactly as designed, and he knew how to operate it, but apparently was a poor marksman.
Maybe he didn't intend to kill him and just wanted to send a message.
Maybe. Or he wanted him to suffer.
Actual gun looks different. Freeze linked video @ 2:00 for picture of shooter's gun in bike basket. th-cam.com/video/qBGWSVV5ssE/w-d-xo.html
US legal (with stamps) market update of B&T S-6. And you a correct, it is essentially bolt action and the shooter has to manually cycle it each shot. It did not jam. This bodyguard is not real smart and jumping to conclusions. I will say though that NYP real world hit on target per shot fired is like 1/11, so 2/3 isn't bad with both shooter and victim moving. Also it is ball amm, that firearm does not take HP-Self Defense rounds. Also subsonic is less power. Probably first or second shot was CNS (Central nervous system/upper spine) or hit to heart which is better than average for pistol three shots on moving target.
@@teo2975 that's been debunked. the smoke from the chamber/breech area is visible as he shoots which wouldn't happen with such a gun. another guy who's familiar, through use, with all sorts of guns including suppressed weapons. he says it was most likely an alignment issue and lacking a device, i forget what it's called, that's necessary with the browning style tilting barrel. having that extra weight on the end of a tilting barrel causes issues.
