UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting spawns range of online merchandise [Video]

Shirts, mugs and stickers bearing the words “Deny Defend Depose” are appearing for sale on e-commerce websites just days after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot to death in New York City.  

Those words were scrawled on three shell casings found at the scene of the Dec. 4 shooting in Manhattan, according to law enforcement sources, and loosely echo the title of a book about why insurance companies deny patient claims. The title — “Delay Deny Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don’t Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It,” by Jay Feinman — is described on Amazon as “an exposé of insurance injustice and a plan for consumers and lawmakers to fight back.”

Feinman has declined to comment on the recent events, including on the words police say were written on the shell casings.
