Are insurance executives suddenly scared? [View all]

It seems they should be, if one reads the comments on social media about the murder of Brian Thompson. Those companies are removing the photos and other identifiers of their executives from their websites. Certainly, they're taking other steps to protect their people.

There's a lot of anger at insurance companies who turn down necessary medical procedures while paying their executives obscene salaries/bonuses.

These are violent times I'm afraid.
