The internet was soon filled with speculation about whether UnitedHealthcare had refused to cover the alleged killer's medical bills, leading to debates on the reasonableness of murder in such circumstances.
Bullet casings with the words 'delay,' 'deny,' and 'depose' were found at the scene of Thompson's murder, echoing tactics commonly used by insurers to avoid paying claims.
Comparisons were drawn between the shooter and the fictional character John Q, who took an emergency room hostage in response to a health insurance denial, reflecting deep public frustration.
Some social media posts celebrated the killing, with a disturbing undercurrent suggesting that the health insurance executives deserved the violence due to their company's practices.
