‘You people are next’: Woman upset about denied claim threatens health insurance company, says they are ‘evil’ and ‘deserved karma,’ cops say

Briana Boston

Briana Boston (Polk County Jail).

On the heels of the murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, a Florida woman allegedly threatened her health insurance company after being denied a claim and invoked the now-infamous phrase “Delay, Deny, Depose.”

The FBI notified the Lakeland Police Department on Tuesday about a local woman who threatened an employee of BlueCross BlueShield during a recorded phone call. A probable cause arrest affidavit obtained by Law&Crime said 42-year-old Briana Boston had called about a recent medical insurance claim that was denied. At the end of the call, Boston allegedly said “Deny, Delay, Depose. You people are next.”

Investigators reportedly found the words “deny,” “defend” and “depose” handwritten on the shell casings from the bullets that killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City. Luigi Mangione, the alleged shooter who was arrested earlier this week after a massive manhunt, wrote a manifesto railing against health care companies.

Lakeland cops went to Boston’s home to interview her at her home. She reportedly admitted to threatening the person on the other line. Boston said she was sorry and doesn’t have any firearms and is not a danger to anyone.
