The NYPD looks for the gun used in the murder of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare at Central Park Lake.
Jason Pack, a former FBI special agent, talks about the most recent developments in the hunt for the CEO killer of UnitedHealthcare on Fox and Friends Weekend.
In an internal video that was leaked, the CEO of UnitedHealth Group stated that the insurance firm will keep working to stop “unnecessary” and “unsafe” care that would put a burden on the healthcare system.
United Health CEO Andrew Witty stated, “Our role is a critical role, and we make sure that care is safe, appropriate, and is delivered when people need it,” in a video address to the staff that was leaked to journalist Ken Klippenstein after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was murdered.
Witty serves as the CEO of UnitedHealth Group, which is UnitedHealthcare’s parent company. A manhunt for the culprit began last week when Thompson was killed in New York City in what authorities claim was a targeted attack.

“We guard against the pressures that exist for unsafe care or for unnecessary care to be delivered in a way which makes the whole system too complex and ultimately unsustainable,” Witty stated.
The insurance company’s detractors should “tune out” their criticism, he added, as it “does not reflect reality.”

As we have always done, Witty stated that the organization will “continue to make sure that we put patients, consumers, and members first.” This company’s real goal is to ensure that we contribute to system improvement by making the experience of individuals better and better.
“Brian Thompson went above and beyond to try to further that purpose. And few individuals in American health care history have had a greater beneficial impact on American health care than Brian,” Witty stated. “We are going to make sure that we not only acknowledge and honor that legacy of Brian, but we’ll continue it.”
A request for comment from FOX Business was not answered by UnitedHealth.
