Witty holds the company responsible While recalling Thompson’s humble beginnings, Witty said that his company shares responsibility for the lack of understanding of coverage decisions. “No employees – be they the people who answer customer calls or nurses who visit patients in their homes – should have to fear for their and their loved one’s safety,” the company executive averred. Witty’s remarks were published after a woman in Lakeland, Florida, was charged with threatening a worker at her own health insurance company, Blue Cross Blue Shield.
