No sympathy for vultures

This reaction was predictable:

The moderators of the r/medicine forum had to close a Reddit thread after news of Mr Thompson's death collected more than 500 replies, often critical of UnitedHealthcare. The top comment, from a nurse, was a lengthy parody of a template response denying pay-out for the victim.

'We understand that you were actively “bleeding out,” but this does not exempt you from exploring lower-cost care pathways,' the post said.

Okay, that was funny.
