衛健行業:高管安全大反思!




醫療保健行業重新考慮風險,因為UnitedHealth高管遭謀殺

紐約(路透社)- 由於UnitedHealthcare的首席執行官布萊恩·湯普森(Brian Thompson)在曼哈頓遭到謀殺,健康保險公司正在重新評估對高管的風險。此事件發生後,UnitedHealth和競爭對手CVS Health均已從其網站上移除了領導團隊的照片。

UnitedHealthcare是美國最大的保險公司,而CVS則運營著另一家頂級保險公司Aetna。湯普森在即將進入希爾頓酒店參加公司的年度投資者會議時遭到襲擊,警方稱這是一宗針對性的攻擊。襲擊者的行為被錄影,至今在逃,紐約市警察局表示目前尚不清楚謀殺的動機。

曾與FBI合作的Sierra One Consulting創始人羅伯特·達米科(Robert D’Amico)表示,移除照片顯示這些公司正在聆聽專家們的警告,指出識別並找到他們的高管是多麼容易。UnitedHealth於周三從其網站上移除了湯普森及其他高管的照片。發言人未就此動機作出回應,而CVS則在周四移除了所有高管的照片,但該公司拒絕了評論。

達米科和另一位安全專家表示,他們基於新聞事件或公司業務不斷評估高管的風險,預期公司將加強高管的實體安全。過去18個月來,醫療行業在面對日益增加的衝突和潛在暴力犯罪時,已經探索了新的安全措施。

增長的對醫院和醫療設施的保護需求與大多數面向客戶的行業相符,國際安全聯盟的首席內容和通信官加雷特·塞沃德(Garett Seivold)表示。評估風險包括搜尋社交媒體,試圖確定是否有威脅被提出,達米科指出,與湯普森相關的具體情況尚未公開。

湯普森的妻子保萊特(Paulette)在NBC新聞中表示,他因工作相關的“報導”收到了一些威脅,但她並不清楚具體細節。UnitedHealthcare的發言人對於湯普森可能面臨的威脅未能立即作出回應。

“我認為會有很多高管會說,‘嘿,這可能會發生在我身上,我們應該重新考慮未來的安全協議,’”Kucera表示。達米科預計公司董事會將重新評估高管的安全計劃,包括要求評估部署多大規模的安全人員,同時考慮成本。他提到像億萬富翁埃隆·馬斯克(Elon Musk)這樣的人每天周圍有20名保鏢。

他指出,在湯普森被謀殺後,社交媒體上出現了一些憤怒的帖子,顯示人們對健康保險公司及其員工的口頭攻擊。“我認為醫療保健公司會看到這一點,並意識到對他們及其高管的仇恨越來越多,”達米科說。

多年來,美國對健康保險的消費者不滿情緒高漲,促使2010年《平價醫療法案》(又稱奧巴馬醫療法)出台。今年,保險公司面臨著控制成本的挑戰,並談論增強醫療管理的使用,這包括使快速獲得手術或藥物等服務的覆蓋變得更加困難。

目前尚不清楚湯普森的工作是否在他的死亡中起到任何作用,但這一槍擊事件引起了人們對醫療行業日益緊張局勢的關注。Cigna、Elevance、Centene和Molina等公司未對是否進行任何安全變更作出回應。

醫療保險公司在財務監管文件中不會提供其對高管安全支出的詳細信息。

評論

這宗事件不僅揭示了醫療行業高管面臨的實際風險,也反映出整個行業在面對社會不滿與暴力事件時的脆弱性。這一情況可能促使醫療保險公司重新思考其高管的安全措施,並在未來加大對安全投資的力度。當前社會對健康保險的情緒不佳,加上疫情期間的政策與服務改變,無疑會使得這些高管成為不滿情緒的目標。隨著行業的不斷變化,未來的保險市場將需要更好地管理與社會期望之間的平衡,才能有效減少類似事件的發生。

A close-up of a young man (as in the uploaded image) Dominates the right side of the frame, viewed from a low-angle perspective, giving him a powerful and imposing presence. He is wearing a simple white tank top (muscle shirt) and tan or light-yellow cargo shorts. He is holding a wooden baseball bat slung over his right shoulder. His expression is serious and determined.

JustinE the Rottweiler: Located on the left, chained to man. JustinE is in an aggressive stance, mouth wide open in a fierce snarl or bark, showing his teeth and tongue, with saliva visible. He is wearing a thick, heavy silver chain leash and collar, with a small circular dog tag visible that says "JustinE". The dog is large and muscular, facing the viewer.

Leash: A heavy-gauge silver metal chain connects JustinE's collar to man's hand.

Lighting: Strong, harsh daylight typical of Southern California, creating deep shadows and high contrast, enhancing the dramatic feel.

Background/Setting: A Southern San Andreas (Los Santos) street setting. The background is slightly blurred but suggests a hot, dry, urban environment with power lines/telegraph wires and a glimpse of an older vehicle (possibly a green van) in the lower-left corner. The sky is a bright, clear, light yellow-green color, indicative of a hot day.

hard shadows, and a distinct color palette typical of GTA loading screens and cover.

A hyper-realistic portrait of a man wearing bright yellow neon glasses, his face illuminated with glowing mathematical formulas and physics equations. Warm golden light reflects from his glasses onto his skin. The man has a serious, intelligent expression, short styled hair, and a trimmed beard. His yellow puffer jacket also glows with floating equations and symbols, giving a futuristic holographic effect. Dark teal bokeh lights in the background create depth and contrast.
