United Handhealthcare appointed a new boss nearly two months after his director general of the time, Brian Thompson, was shot in New York.
The company’s veteran, Tim Noel, will take over the management of the largest sickness insurer in the United States, which has more than 50 million customers, at a critical time.
The assassination of Mr. Thompson, on December 4 in the center of Manhattan, sparked a vast debate on the functioning of the American health system.
Many Americans, who pay more for their health care than any other country, have expressed their anger at what they consider to be unjust treatment on the part of insurance companies.
Mr. NOEL “provides this post unparalleled experience, with experienced experience and firm commitment to improve the functioning of health care for consumers, doctors, employers, governments and our other partners,” said Unitedhealth Group , the parent company of Unitedhealthcare.
A man’s hunting was entered for several days when the police tried to identify the manager of the December murder, which occurred in front of a hotel in Manhattan where the CEO was staying.
Five days later, Luigi Mangione, 26, was arrested in a McDonald’s restaurant in Pennsylvania after an employee called the police.
Mangione pleaded not guilty of accusations of murder. He faces 11 chiefs of criminal, including that of murder as a terrorism act.
In addition to the accusations brought to the state level, he is also accused of crimes of criminal harassment and murder at the federal level – national – which can lead to a death penalty.
Prosecutors claim that Mr. Mangione shot Mr. Thompson before fleeing.
