Crowdfunding Effort Launched to Support Woman Accused of Threatening Health Insurance Company
Background
Briana Boston, a 42-year-old woman from Lakeland, Florida, was arrested and charged with making threats against a health insurance company. The incident occurred on Tuesday during a phone call with a representative from Blue Cross Blue Shield, which had reportedly denied her medical claim.
The Incident
According to reports, Boston was frustrated with the outcome of her call with the insurance company and allegedly used language inspired by the recent UnitedHealthcare CEO killing. She told the representative, "Delay, deny, depose…". The exact circumstances surrounding the incident are still unclear, but Boston was taken into custody and charged with making threats against the company.
Crowdfunding Effort
In response to the arrest, a crowdfunding campaign has been launched to support Boston. The campaign, which can be found on GoFundMe, aims to raise funds to help Boston cover legal fees and other related expenses. As of this writing, the campaign has raised over $10,000 of its $20,000 goal.
Support for Boston
The campaign’s organizer, a friend of Boston’s, has stated that the funds will be used to help Boston "get the legal representation she needs to fight for her rights and to get her life back on track." The organizer has also emphasized that the campaign is not meant to support Boston’s actions, but rather to provide her with the resources she needs to navigate the legal system.
