Possibly it's Luigi didn't shoot enough of them.
In response to my inquiry about that prospect, a company spokesman said, “We strive to meet our stakeholders’ evolving needs to understand our business performance through compliant, transparent and useful disclosures.”
Top executives have been meeting with some analysts in recent weeks. Morgan Stanley earlier this month revealed its research team met with CEO Stephen Hemsley, new CFO Wayne DeVeydt and the top executives of the firm’s major business units. “We are incrementally positive following discussions,” the Morgan Stanley analysts wrote on Sept. 10.
There are a lot of words before that. Several paragraphs after it. They stiff a newsman just like if he were a patient with a claim.
The truth is those fuckers are pimples on the ass of progress. They lobby, joining together to make the lobbying stronger and the campaign cash more, in order to block single payer, Medicare for All.
They are bloodsuckers on the bodies of sick and injured citizens. They are "MEDICAL INSURANCE."
Here is an image:
That about sums up the state of health insurance in the U.S. of A. Rapacious bastards following basic instincts. Coarse instincts. Profiting greatly from medical suffering of patients.
_____________UPDATE____________
Another Strib item from Aug 1, this year about "culture" at that firm was subtitled:
CEO Stephen Hemsley’s call to be a more ‘provider-friendly enterprise’ runs up against company’s fraught history with hospitals, clinics.
There's also a very fraught history with claims from people expecting they pay for insurance and get claims covered instead of denied. The item in part states:
UnitedHealth Group’s biggest public controversy in Minnesota a year ago was its fight with health systems threatening to leave the insurer’s Medicare network as contract negotiations stalled.
Now — with its air of invincibility punctured by federal investigations and financial missteps — the Eden Prairie-based health care giant is striking a conciliatory tone, including a pledge for friendlier relations with hospitals and clinics.
They’re going to need to be convinced.
“Minnesota hospitals have long struggled with UnitedHealth and its subsidiaries regarding prior authorizations and reimbursements for care,” the Minnesota Hospital Association said in a statement. “The company has, in the past, shown limited interest in responding to concerns about these issues.”
The reaction illustrates a trust gap built over years.
Amen. There's more to the item, but leave it at "trust gap over the years."
Do you suppose Luigi Mangione felt much love for the operation when he stood gun in hand?
Not justified in vigilante justice against individuals, shooting them dead, he was justified in hating the entire snake pit of insurers in the U.S of A., health insurers in particular, and it appears he couldn't take it any longer. Mad as hell and couldn't take it any longer.
Luigi's actions brought the problem into a focus, and the government - the Trump government - says it will seek the death penalty. You don't need any other information to know where the government puts its stress and policy. The status quo is to be protected, no matter what statements get bleated about "Greater Again." When things come down to actions, as opposed to words, a fucked up health system is no real problem to the Trump governing minions. Let the people suffer it, seems the govt view. They'd rather convene generals and stage dog and pony shows and money making promotions.
______________FURTHER UPDATE_______________
I don't like them any more than Luigi does, but I won't shoot anyone and urge others to not shoot, regardless of the level of hate and despair.

This classic scene from the film NETWORK explains Trump winning elections and JD being mentored, but then they get power, seek a death penalty for Luigi, and pump crypto schemes.
