United Healthcare and several of its competitors have been wiping the leadership pages of their websites after a masked gunman fatally shot CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan this week.

404 Media reports that UnitedHealthcare’s “About Us” page has been redirecting to the homepage since Thursday, whereas the day before, it displayed Thompson’s bio alongside bios for each of its top officers. Similarly, at Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, the “Who We Are” section of the “About Us” page no longer functions. Earlier this week, it listed the names and photos of some 25 executives, 404 Media notes.

It’s the same story at Medica, whose leadership page currently redirects to the homepage, and at the health insurance nonprofit Caresource, where executive bios yield “not found” messages.

Although Thompson’s killer remains at large, speculation about the motive has been circulating online. Police reportedly found the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose” written on the bullet casings, which sounds a lot like Delay, Deny, Defend, the title of a book about how insurers get out of paying claims. It’s a common phrase deployed by critics of the industry.

3. When we look at their annual reports

They are effusive about all the wonderful things they are doing for humanity. One would think they would be proud to have their names and personal information displayed broadly.

Let's name some roads and airports after these heroic Americans so that everyone can know who they are.

4. If only they would publish the amount of the executives' annual bonuses

I'll bet most of them are getting millions $ per year in profit-sharing payouts.
