    Me specifically? I’m doing nothing. You aren’t doing anything either.

    The person in question is a hero, imo.

    We obviously disagree.

    Goodbye.

      The person in question has not improved anything. Tomorrow UHC will reject claims just as it did yesterday.

        You’ve made your position on change very clear.

          Killing someone doesn’t change an organization.

          The only change here will be an unexpected promotion for the person who will continue the former CEO’s work. Maybe they are celebrating with you.

            Looks like there is plenty of opportunity for making the world a better place.

              That’s pretty much what the IDF says whenever they kill a member of Hamas.

              Personally I don’t want to be in their company.

                Of course you don’t. You want to be the ceo of a health insurance company.

                  Clever. But no. No more than you want to see Gazans die.

                    I certainly don’t want that. But, inaction is compliance.

          UHC won’t stop doing anything just to protect an employee. And there is no shortage of people willing to take the job.
