In the wake of Brian Thompson's murder, thousands of Americans begin sharing their devastating experiences with UnitedHealthcare's automated denial system. From a mother watching her partner die while waiting for clinical trial approval, to families bankrupted by "medically unnecessary" denials, to a Staten Island mother told her daughter could "switch to Medicaid if she dies" - this episode reveals the human cost of algorithmic healthcare decisions. Through verified testimonies and documented cases, we expose how UnitedHealthcare's profits soared to $16 billion while patients fought, and sometimes lost, battles for basic care. These are the voices that emerged after Thompson's death - stories that transform statistics into human tragedy and raise disturbing questions about the true cost of automated healthcare denials.
