Authorities in New York City have issued a warning to healthcare executives following the distribution of ‘wanted’ posters featuring prominent industry leaders. These developments come after the apparent assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on December 4. The posters depict OptumHealth CEO Heather Cianfrocco and UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty. A poster of Thompson is included, with his face scored through with a bloody red ‘X.’
Affixed to traffic control boxes in Manhattan, the posters accuse these executives of prioritizing corporate profit over medical care. They feature the words ‘Deny,’ ‘Defend,’ and ‘Depose,’ which were found on shell casings at the scene of Thompson’s shooting.
