UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty is trying again.
The head of the corporation that includes insurer UnitedHealthcare has been pushing back against the public backlash against his company unleashed by the killing of CEO Brian Thompson last week. Witty previously denounced the “negative” and “frankly offensive” public response to Thompson’s killing, much of which has centered on corporate policies that critics say have lined shareholders’ pockets at the expense of United customers. He recently followed that up with a memo to employees at the insurance titan, sharing “messages of support" from supposed customers.
