I checked this article and the NBC one linked in the NY Post article, and they didn't name the insurer? What the fuck are they holding water for this shitty company for?

In the NY Post linked article:

Per KFF, the late Tennant was insured by the Public Employees Insurance Agency of West Virginia, which partners with UnitedHealthcare. (The Post reached out to both agencies for comment.)
