So because of your comment, I just looked it up, and United healthcare is definitely up there on the list. And it's a lot higher than the next health insurance company.
And UHC has received a lot of publicity and public lawsuits over it's high rate of denials.

I always appreciate Atlantic articles.
And this one is sobering.

Of all the possible outcomes available, the least shared, argued over, and considered is one that the shooter alludes to himself—that what feels to all of us like an era-defining event may ultimately be unremarkable in its brutality, in its inability to effect change, and in how quickly everyone moves on.
That last sentence is what really jumped out to me too.

NEW YORK - A person walking their dog in Central Park found a ziplock bag of bullets in the bushes on Tuesday, which police believe is tied to Luigi Mangione, the suspect accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, Brian Thompson.

FOX 5 NY has exclusively learned that police say the person was walking near East 81st and 85th Street when they saw the bag, noticing writing on it that mirrors markings found on shell casingsin Midtown the morning of Thompson’s shooting.

The writing references "deny defend," echoing a phrase used to describe how insurers dodge claim payouts
Wow. Appreciate you posting this.

The grandmother of UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione left her family at least $30 million in her will — but specified that anyone “charged, indicted, convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony” would be cut out.

I would love to read the parts of the Will that discusses this (which I probably will never get the chance to lol!) Sounds like it is up the discretion of the trustee(s). And the person has to be found guilty.
