No, they don't. The UnitedHealth dude who got shot had a CEO title, but Thompson was ultimately a middle manager.

The actual CEO of UnitedHealth Group–the one who signs off on its financial statements and fields quarterly calls–and the billionaire owners were fine. Which explains, in part, why nothing changed after the shooting.
