General public 'enthusiastic' about Luigi's leadership changes at United Healthcare.

Despite alleged claims of controversy from some higher up in the company, a recent public poll shows overwhelming support of the sudden termination of the former CEO of UHC, Brian Thompson. The healthcare giant has seen ever increasing hostility to its subscribers in recent years, many citing a sharp increase of over 30% of all claims being denied as their primary reason for wanting leaders to be held accountable, and for a restructuring to take place. When asked for comment, Sarah Henley—a chronic patient and UHC policy holder—responded "I'm so glad someone is willing to make steps in the right direction."

As for those outspoken against the sudden and bold change, the concern stems largely from both job security and severance accommodations. "This is horrifying" said an executive who wishes to remain anonymous, "I'm scared for my [financial] life." This fear is even more compacted by Luigi's alleged lack of severance for the now former CEO, a move in radical opposition to conventional business practices. While no details have yet been confirmed on the terms of termination, this would certainly send a chilling signal to those in leadership positions throughout UHC, and perhaps set precedent for other companies who may look to adopt the strategy. Internal communications reveal leaders are scrambling to get answers, and rightfully so. A job loss of this scale could mean only years of luxury remain for those unfortunate enough to bite the proverbial bullet from Mr. Mangione, or anyone else in his position down the road.
