Andrew Witty, CEO of UnitedHealth Group, testifies during the Senate Finance Committee hearing titled "Hacking America's Health Care: Assessing the Change Healthcare Cyber Attack and What's Next," in the Dirksen Building in Washington, D.C., on May 1, 2024.
UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty on Friday mourned the death of Brian Thompson, who led the company's insurance arm, and acknowledged that the U.S. health-care system is "flawed" and in need of reform.
"We know the health system does not work as well as it should, and we understand people's frustrations with it," Witty wrote in a New York Times opinion piece.
Investigators have said Mangione was a critic of the health-care industry, a widely held view among Americans.
Witty said Thompson had done his best to help patients navigate the health-care system.
