UnitedHealth Group announced a new chief executive Tuesday, a sudden and surprising change following the fatal shooting in December of its UnitedHealthcare subsidiary’s leader.
Andrew Witty stepped down from leading UnitedHealth for unspecified “personal reasons,” the company said. Stephen J. Hemsley, who served as chief executive from 2006 to 2017, will return to the role and remain board chairman. Witty will serve as a senior adviser to Hemsley, the company said in a news release.
UnitedHealth has been the focus of sharp criticism over the health insurance industry’s practices and has seen its stock plummet in the past year. The Justice Department has investigated its business activities.
His silence about why says it all.
He isn’t sorry for what he did, murder customers in swaths to metastasize private profit in our American deathcare state sanctioned confidence scheme, he’s sorry he may face violent reprisal for what he did.
I’m glad he’s on record leaving with no apologetic plea, off to count his money from all the murders he oversaw.
When terminal capitalism collapses, coming very soon, and he has nothing of value to pay his guards and security patrols with, the survivors will remember who he is and what he did.
“I… I was just following
ordersthe invisible hand of the market!!!”He’s afraid he’ll catch a fatal dose of high velocity lead poisoning.
Or as Bon Jovi once referred to it “lead medicine”.
he wasnt even sorry that his underling died.
