Part 3/7:
The investigation into the murder further uncovered troubling elements that speak directly to the grievances held against health insurers. Police found shell casings at the crime scene that bore the chilling phrase "deny, depose, defend," echoing the notorious tactics employed by insurance companies to deny individuals necessary medical care year after year.
This juxtaposition of the murder with the practices of the insurance sector struck a chord with many, highlighting a harsh reality: each year, thousands suffer as a result of denied medical claims. The ruthless prioritization of profit over patient care, characteristic of many health insurance firms, including United Healthcare, has become a focal point of resentment among the public.
