Thompson's slaying also has spurred some major health companies, including UnitedHealthcare's parent company, to remove photos of executives and board members from their websites. And the health insurer Medica, which like UnitedHealthcare is based in Minnesota, closed its main campus in Minnetonka because of safety concerns for its employees. Centene, which announced the change to a virtual event Friday, is one of the largest Medicaid insurers and was scheduled to have its investor day at the New York Stock Exchange next Thursday. Centene in a statement said that "in the wake of the tragic loss of UnitedHealthcare's CEO Brian Thompson, Centene's Investor Day will now be hosted virtually." Health insurance is a big industry and a small community; many members of the CenTeam crossed paths with Brian during their careers," said Centene CEO Sarah London in a statement.

Chief executives and other high-level corporate officers are seeking additional security protection after the brazen slaying of UnitedHealthcare's chief executive officer in New York, according to a top risk management firm. "A CEO is the lightning rod that attracts the ire regardless of the product or services sold." That killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson occurred amid an increase in threats to people in the heath-care industry. Thompson's company, a division of UnitedHealth Group , is the largest payer of health insurance benefits in the United States. Police believe the gunman who fatally shot the 50-year-old Thompson on Wednesday morning outside a midtown Manhattan hotel targeted him for some unknown reason as Thompson walked to a UnitedHealth Group investors meeting unaccompanied by any security.
