A woman in Florida faces charges after threatening a healthcare firm during a call about her denied medical claim
Lakeland: So, there’s this woman named Briana Boston, 42, who got herself in a bit of trouble. She was on the phone with Blue Cross Blue Shield after her medical claim got denied. Frustrated, she allegedly said, “Delay, deny, depose. You people are next.” Yikes, right?
Now, here’s the kicker. Those words are linked to a recent murder case involving a health insurance CEO. A masked gunman took out UnitedHealthcare’s Brian Thompson, and it stirred up a lot of anger online about how people feel treated by these insurance companies.
Interestingly, the phrase Briana used is also the title of a book by a legal expert about how insurance companies handle claims. It’s a pretty hot topic, especially with all the drama going on.
As for the murder suspect, his name is Luigi Mangione, and he’s facing some serious charges. He was on the run for a while before they caught him. Crazy stuff!
When the police talked to Briana, she said she didn’t mean any harm and was just repeating what she heard in the news. She claimed she doesn’t own any guns and isn’t a threat, but she did say healthcare companies are “evil” and deserve some “karma.”
In the end, she got charged with making threats related to a mass shooting or terrorism. It’s a wild story, and it just shows how heated things can get over healthcare issues.
