Woman Arrested for Threatening Health Insurance Company Amid CEO Murder Case

Briana Boston, 42, has been charged with making threats against a healthcare firm, echoing phrases linked to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, raising concerns about healthcare frustrations.


After a phone call regarding a denied claim, Briana Boston faces charges for allegedly threatening a health insurance company using language tied to the murder of CEO Brian Thompson. Her bond is set at $100,000, reflecting heightened concerns over clinic-related violence in the wake of the tragedy.


Briana Boston, a 42-year-old woman from Florida, faces serious accusations after allegedly threatening a health insurance company during a recorded call about a denied medical claim. The call took place with a Blue Cross Blue Shield representative, during which Ms. Boston reportedly said, “Delay, deny, depose, you people are next.” These words, invoking a chilling tone, are reminiscent of the engraved phrases found on bullet casings at the murder scene of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was killed in Manhattan.

Boston has been charged with making threats to commit a mass shooting or act of terrorism. Following her recorded statement, Lakeland Police responded swiftly, arresting her at her home. The judge overseeing the case set her bail at $100,000 (£78,900), reflecting the current tense atmosphere surrounding healthcare disputes, particularly in light of recent violent incidents linked to the industry.

Her attorney, Jim Headley, argued for her release, highlighting her status as a married mother of three with no prior criminal history. During the court hearing, Boston reportedly gasped upon hearing the bail amount. In her defense, she claimed her words were drawn from media coverage surrounding Thompson's murder, stating that healthcare companies were “evil” and that they “played games” with patients.

Authorities emphasizing the risks associated with such threats warned the public against the potential emergence of copycat incidents. The current investigation into Thompson's murder has led to the arrest of Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused of the crime, further inflaming sentiments against the profit-oriented health insurance sector. This incident underscores ongoing frustrations faced by many consumers struggling with healthcare costs and claim denials, raising questions about the safety of individuals in the healthcare system.
