A woman threatened her insurance company with the words of the murderer of the head of UnitedHealthcare
A Florida woman, in a telephone conversation with employees of her health insurance company, made a reference to the words on the bullets of the killer UnitedHealthcare CEO: “Detain, deny, overthrow.” The woman was detained and placed under arrest, ABC News reported .
Briana Boston, 42, of Lakeland, called Blue Cross Blue Shield on Dec. 10, which denied a claim for payment for medical services provided to a woman at a local clinic.
The arrest order states that at the end of the audio recording of the conversation with the insurers, Boston says: “Detain, deny, overthrow. You are next" (“Delay, deny, depose. You people are next”). Police deemed the threat "obvious," ABC News reported.

Boston's words almost exactly echoed the words that were engraved on bullet casings found at the scene of the Dec. 4 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The killer Luigi Mangione wrote on the cartridges: “Deny, depose, defend.”
ABC News journalists noticed that the words Boston and Mangione refer to the title of the book “Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It” (“Delay, deny, protect: why insurance companies don’t pay on requests and what you can do about it").
The book was written in 2010 by legal scholar and insurance expert Jay Fineman, professor emeritus at Rutgers University Law School in New Jersey. The book examines abuses in auto and homeowners insurance to "avoid paying valid claims."

When Lakeland police asked Boston why she made threats against insurers, the woman apologized and said she "used those words because that's what's on the news right now." She told officers she did not own a weapon and was not a threat, according to a court filing requesting Boston's arrest. But then she added that health care companies are “evil” and “deserve karma.”
Blue Cross Blue Shield did not comment on the detention of its client, the TV channel reported. Boston was charged with threatening to commit mass murder or an act of terrorism and was being held in the Polk County Jail, police told ABC News.
Mangione faces second-degree murder and other charges in Pennsylvania and New York.
