Bombard casings from the brazen slaying of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in midtown Manhattan had the words “deny,” “safeguard” and “depose” written on them, NBC News reported Thursday, citing law enforcement sources.
Those chilling words reproduce the title of a 2010 book, “Delay Deny Defend,” whose subtitle is “Why Insurance Companies Don’t Pay Claims and What You Can Do In It.”
UnitedHealthcare, a subdivision of UnitedHealth Group, is the largest private health insurance payer in the United States and has been the angle of heated controversy over its relatively high rate of denial of health-care claims.
