A Woman Is Facing Jail Time for Saying “Delay, Deny, Depose”
Briana Boston, a working-class woman fighting a health insurance claims denial, has been arrested for saying “delay, deny, depose” on a phone call to her insurer. The judge has set her bail at $100,000, “considering the status of our country.”

A working-class woman fighting a health insurance claims denial has been arrested after ending a call with Blue Cross Blue Shield with a comment falsely construed as a credible threat.
Briana Boston, a forty-two-year-old mother, has no criminal history, does not own a gun, and has insisted to police that she is “not a danger to anyone.” But in the wake of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s recent murder, Boston is being made an example of by a frightened ruling class that’s hungry for vengeance.
Near the end of her call, Boston referenced the health insurance industry’s “delay, deny, depose” strategy for avoiding paying claims — words that Thompson’s assassin wrote on the bullets fired at Thompson. She added that “you people are next.”
