Following the murder of its CEO on Wednesday morning, United Healthcare removed a page from its website listing the rest of its executive leadership, and several other health insurance companies have done the same, hiding the names and photos of their executives from easy public access.

As of Thursday, United Healthcare’s “about us” page that listed leadership, including slain CEO Brian Thompson, redirects to the company’s homepage. An archive of the page shows that it was still up as of Wednesday morning, but is redirecting at the time of writing and isn’t directly accessible from Google search or the site’s navigation buttons.

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, which Thursday said it would walk back changes announced this week that would charge patients for anesthesia during procedures that went longer than estimated, now redirects its own leadership page to its “about us” page. Originally that page showed leadership, including President and CEO Kim Keck, Executive Vice President and CFO Christina Fisher, and 23 more executives as of earlier this year according to archives of the page, but is now inaccessible.

@GASLIGHTER_ on X spotted other major insurers following suit. Nonprofit health insurance organization Caresource took down the individual pages for all of its executive leadership, including President and CEO Erhardt Preitauer, Executive Vice President David Williams, Executive Vice President for Markets and Products Scott Markovich, Executive Vice President for Strategy and Business Sanjoy Musunuri, CFO Larry Smart and COO Fred Schulz. Snippets from each of these pages are still visible on Google search, but the pages themselves return an error that says “the requested URL was not found on this server.”

1. May they all have their Ebenezer Scrooge moment

With Brian Thompson playing the role of Jacob Marley.

2. My goodness, what are they scared of?

If they gave the consumer a fair shake, they have no reason to be paranoid.

Wait. What's that? They sacrificed the health of the average American consumer in order to make obscene profits?

Well then, let the games begin.

8. Most billionaires and CEOs

would be wise to do the same. As they get more of what they want - money - the populous will figure it out.

9. Here is an idea too

obvious for them to come up with.

Stop murdering your customers and maybe you wouldn't have to hide your faces from them.

Too obvious?

The office is in California.
He was surrounded by 3 security guards the entire visit.
