    United Healthcare’s stock is down 60% since the incident. United Healthcares board and new CEOs lowered the rejection rate of patients out of fear as well. Say what you want about the morality of what was done. The efficacy speaks for itself

      The efficacy lasted for all of a month before returning to where it had been before.

        So, UHC stock was up around 600, dropped to a bit over 200, and is lately around 300. So like ¾ of the drop is still there in linear terms, or something like ⅔ in logarithmic terms.

          That’s true, and my bad for implying otherwise.

          But I also think much more critically, they’re back to denying coverage exactly the way they were before Thompson died.

        Well then we just need to stagger the killings in intervals to keep them in check. Simple solution.

      The stock drop would be expected, but is there any credible source that denial rate dropped?
