Health Insurance Workers Fearful Amid Public Anger After Slaying of C.E.O. (HAHA! GOOD!!)

[Sympthsical]

17. A friend of mine works at United

This paragraph describes what he's been telling us:

"One UnitedHealthcare worker who processes claims described being cleareyed about the American health care system’s shortcomings, but also believes that she and her colleagues did their best to help patients within the limits of that system. Like most workers interviewed, she did not want to be named because, given the reaction after Mr. Thompson’s killing, she feared for her own safety."

They are very worried someone's going to be inspired to come in and start shooting up the place. He works in Texas and says people are watching doors more, paranoid, not sure what to expect.

He's a good guy. Does what he can to help people get care. His personal battle the past few years has been getting claims approved for gender affirming care.

That's the thing about uncontrolled vengeance. People who have no say-so over the wrongs can get wrapped up in the harms.

I don't think it's good that someone like him is afraid. Thinking that's awesome is an asshole move. People need to get a grip if they think making regular workers fear for their lives is their idea of a good time. It's fucking shit.
