Woman arrested after telling her health insurer 'you people are next'

A 42-year-old woman from Florida has been arrested and charged after police say she threatened her health insurance provider over a recently denied medical claim, repeating a common phrase from critics of the health-care industry that had been inscribed on ammunition casings found next to slain UnitedHealthcare chief executive Brian Thompson.

According to an affidavit obtained by The Washington Post, Briana Boston of Lakeland contacted Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield on Tuesday after the company denied her medical insurance claim. Toward the end of the recorded phone call with her health insurer, Boston told an agent: “Delay, deny, depose. You people are next.”

The words, “delay, deny, depose,” reference tactics insurance companies have used to decline or limit medical claims. They were engraved on bullet casings found outside a midtown Manhattan hotel where 26-year-old Luigi Mangione is suspected of gunning down Thompson earlier this month.

Boston’s Tuesday arrest comes as consumer frustration with insurance companies and the broader U.S. health-care system balloon. More than half of Americans say the quality of U.S. health care is fair or poor, while only 28 percent say health care coverage in the U.S. is excellent or good, according to a December survey conducted by Gallup. In 2023, nearly a third of Americans gave health insurance companies a poor rating, according to Gallup.

Had first one today on FB. You are blaming Trump and the voters for a tariff cost before

he has even gotten into office? There was a FB post showing a bill where the business had a line Tariff and the cost added into the bill. This poster was flabbergasted people were blaming Trump and the voters for that price because Trump has not even gotten into office yet. I replied, you blamed Biden for the price of eggs and that had nothing to do with Biden but corporate greed. And so it begins.

Processing this, Trump seems to have come across social media kinda like an "influencer"

which I had no clue what it was until like a couple yrs ago. These people are powerful and a powerful influence on so much of our nations mind. They don't stay up late scrolling, scrolling, reading about reality. And so much of the culture under about 40 now are so brainwashed thru this mentality and the do not watch news. And people feed them, an appetite of it. And further, if they see you tend to one conversation, they will throw you into the red, rw crowd and that is what you consume all fuggin day and into that night. Then throw in Musk.

Hate. Outloud, in your face.... Hate. And so it begins.

One of the previous issues I remember from Trumps time was the vocal in your face hate and yes, violence because trump opened the flood gates for that. Over the last 4 yrs it is not as loud and constant during his time. I was reading FB and conversation about girls being taunted on the playground by boys "your body our choice". And so it begins. the approved and allowed, accept out loud hate and mean that Trumps brings to the table and feeds thru our society with him as the "leader". Another was a girl in front of class. White/Asian and boy yelled out I know who you would vote for because you do not want to be deported.

This is one of the many things Trump brings to us.

Reading the SC rulings today and what they have ruled recently just makes my stomach sick.

To all those people back in 2016 that told us the SC was not important, what do you say now?

Second post, didnt realize first post went thru. Deleting.

Just checking to see if others are having a tough time connecting, and going slow

or if it is only my puter cause I started having issues last couple days. And is this why we went star only cause attacks or something? I haven't been around last couple days so haven't seen conversation about this. Telling me something about a gateway.

Edit: Wooosh, cause I probably have more than one post to delete, lol. I didnt know this was going thru and kept trying to post it. Thanks. Always good to hear I am not alone. I can deal with that. Lol, so funny.

This was Taylor Swift's message yesterday about speaking out.

Abortion pill.

So, I thought this interesting. I work for an insurance company. We cover abortions 100%. I got a call from a facility telling me virtual setting, for abortion and I was like what, is that the pill? Yes. So I asked some questions and thought it was valuable information. Hey Jane in NY, Ny... legit credited I ran the information. A real licensed provider. I asked so someone from out of state can call you. Yes he said but there are restrictions. I asked if it matter on state law and he said, that would be restrictions.

We are talking coded to not step on each others toes until we saw we were on the same side and that it is a valuable service.

Anyway, I felt good learning this information. I personally was not aware there was this possibility and I can see ways around with red state restrictions.

I need educated. I really have not been following politics like I use to.

I am so disgusted with Trump and Biden has had it well in hand.

But here we are at another election and I need to get educated on Harris. I need to focus now on what was said last week. Just a couple days into her kick off. I am being told all Sanders needs is specifics what Harris stands for with the working class. That she will lose otherwise. That Dems historically turn their back on working class, except Biden, which I absolutely disagree with. Now Harris was Biden VP and carry his stuff along when she wins and has stated that I believe. In the mere handful of days she has been given before being schooled on what to do with her campaign, has she been turning her back, ignoring the working class? Because I have to really assumed in this economy and people's concern with inflation and increase in costs, there has been at least a minimal amount of information about plans for the middle class.

Can you all share what you have heard the last week in her speeches? Will be good info to have from here on out when we have to educate others saying she and Dems just do not help working class.

Thanks.
