So? That doesn’t seem exorbitant to me. An extra few million is a drop in the bucket for their company and wouldn’t even be enough to cover the medical bankruptcy of more than a handful of people. I’ve never had UHC, but no one has to use them. It’s a free market. Get a different insurance/work somewhere else if you are so unhappy with your benefits. I’ve had three different medical insurers over the years and have never had any major problems getting treated or having them pay what they are contracted to pay in my plan.

1) I’m afraid your experience is far from universal.

2) Do you honestly think people suffering would not just “get a different insurance/work somewhere else” if that was an option for them? Especially after they’ve gotten very sick and their insurance has decided making them not die is not medically necessary? Why don’t you tell them to just eat cake Marie

Can you provide us an actual example of someone being denied standard care? Not experimental care. What is the DX and what is the care being denied? Otherwise you are trafficking hyperbole.

Np. Go to reddit/medicine and you will find your answer. Lots of denials.

Why surely? If I knew him, I wouldn’t say a damn thing. Why should I? What’s to gain? Some chickensh!t reward for being a snitch? F’ that. This guy is no threat to me. He killed a scumbag, not some innocent person or kid. I wouldn’t call the cops even if he was living next door to me.

Most criminals are not a threat to you yet we have laws against injuring and killing people. You have absolutely no idea why this man killed him.

New Yorker put that garbage up?

Wonder what their dior, Gucci and yves sponsors think….

Same ads, same target market

Guessing there are people in this country who think you are grossly overpaid for whatever you do OP. I’m sure you have much more than any one person truly “needs”. It’s easy to say “a billion is too much” but very hard to say what the lower limit should be.

I think after salaries and overhead are paid, there should be no profit in healthcare.

so all healthcare is non-profit? assume this applies to doc and hospital systems?

In my Utopia, yes. Everyone is paid a very healthy salary commiserate with their training and experience. Money is set aside for research, and maintenance on buildings and equipment, etc. But any money leftover is not used to pad corporate pockets. Any monies left beyond that mean that premiums were too high and should be lowered accordingly.

You realize insurance company profits are a tiny fraction of health care costs, right?

So what are the major costs? Why do other countries spend less on healthcare but have better outcomes?

Lol.

Nil R&D, PAs and midwives and nurses do everything, long waits, death panels, no end of life care.

Lol.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong.

--someone whose elderly parents have been receiving superb, state-of-the-art care at very low cost abroad for complex medical needs.

Cash pay abroad for pre-arranged surgeries is indeed common to save a buck. You need time to call around and then manage it.

I was thinking this morning that it seems strange to me that the original photo of the suspect taken in Starbucks, which does not look like the guy in these subsequent photos at all, but is much more likely to be the suspect, no longer appears anywhere. Does anybody else find it strange? I do not believe the taxi photos--or even the hostel photos-are actually the suspect.

Yup, was thinking same. He could have been the “random” roommate in the hostel, who cleared all this guys stuff out just after he left. Team effort.

With all these photos, someone has recognized him by this point. Even if the police or FBI don't want to release his name, surely it would have been mentioned in social media?

The photos they are so prominently showing now aren't him. This is another strange, inside job, and we'll never know who did it or why.

Conspiracy theory?

Am I the only one who thinks it looks like the same guy? It’s different lighting and different angles which accounts for some of the differences.

The taxi picture he’s clearly wearing a completely different jacket, but I don’t see how this surprises anyone. The guy has different jackets, he took great care to plan this out which accounts for the different wardrobe.

It's not the clothes that are the issue. It's the eyes, eyebrows, skin color. They are not the same person.

And the Starbucks photo has been removed from every place that ever ran it. Very troubling.

Starbucks guy has a different jacket on: not the same flaps on the hood. The pic from the hotel has a string at the hood and the Starbucks one doesn't. So I guess they maybe got the wrong guy's DNA?

He was at the hostel multiple days. I believe the hostel picture is not from the same day as shooting/Starbucks

Looks like that chamalet kid.

Looks like he could be wearing fake eyebrows. Also eye shadow and lined eyes? Disguise?

No. He’s abroad in a place where everyone looks like him.

They need to up the reward to 1 million.

Is this reward released abroad? Otherwise forget about it.

But everyone on a plane anywhere that day from Newark or jfk or LGA should know about this reward.

Busses to Mexico prob evade this all.

Right, but did he have two similar dark green jackets but not the same? I think that's unlikely.

I imagine one person goes with jury nullification and votes not guilty.

This is a horrific conclusion, which unfortunately, I believe may be true.

Jeff rightly blogged about how shocked he was at the number of DCUMAD posters who celebrated this cold-blooded murder, and some even encouraged more ruthless murders of CEOs who are simply doing their job.

Some of you are demonstrating true mental illness (dangerous, murderous), mental illness in this regard.

To those people: I pray you get the professional help you clearly need and turn away from supporting murder. Seriously.

Sorry, your claim has been denied. You are out of network.

It is impossible to find mental health care that takes insurance. Most people can't pay $200 and hour.

It doesn’t work on most diagnoses anyhow

Maybe acute anxiety or depressions but if chronic you need a neuropsych test to diagnoses the underlying disorders or learning differences.
Then targeted therapies and Meds. And monitoring - and not self monitoring.

No, they still dont understand industry margins or scale. That’s why they have a blogger gig.

Who cares what the margin is, when the bottom line is $16-23 BILLION in profit.

Clearly not you.

Check out the national debt balances and annual interest payments, and who owns/holds the debt. Seems like you aren’t used to big numbers in your line of work or education or reading.

I wonder if he's darkened his eyebrows and wore brown contacts.

I'm curious how he slept in the hostel with two other strangers. Surely they told police more about him. Did he wear a wig?

Could he be ready to ditch his disguised look once he got to the bus station? So no one is looking for a blond guy with lighter eyebrows and blue eyes.

I mean, as distinctive as he appears, and with everyone attached to their phones, how did someone not recognize him once he got on a bus?

I was thinking the same thing. It's strange that it hasn't been mentioned in news articles.

Yeah, it’s just so strange that the FBI won’t tell us everything they have discovered and know about him and have for the case. So strange.
