[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In case you are one of those who are morally confused:

Good guy: Daniel Penny
Bad Guy: Luigi Mangione[/quote]

Disagree.  They’re simply divergent species of good guy.

Penny protected his fellow citizens on a micro level. Mangione did so on a macro level. Both saw something that needed doing, and stepped up.

Hard disagree. Penny didn't plan to kill anyone. In fact even in the moment I don't believe he was trying to kill Neely -- I think he used "excessive force" due to adrenaline and the intensity of the moment.

Mangione planned and executed an assassination. Thompson was a really terrible person but that's still murder with prior intent.

What if Mangione had taken his Ivy League degrees, money from his family, and passion regarding a broken healthcare system (including coming from a family that profited off that system) and become an advocate for changing the system? I think it would be as effective as what he's done but without murdering someone on a city street on a Tuesday morning.[/quote]

And yet, we’ve already real dividends from the UHC incident. Another health insurer was planning to reduce anesthesia benefits, but reversed the day after the UHC crook met his demise.

Anthem was going to roll that back no matter what -- it instantly got a ton of critical press coverage because it's a stupid policy that doesn't make sense. What are they going to do, wake up patients to get them to sign off on the extra anesthesia? The press did its job and covered that nonsense, and people complained, and the policy was going to change no matter what. Mangione didn't make that happen.[/quote]

DP. The BCBS anesthesia was announced weeks ago. Governors pushed the company to roll it back and BCBS wouldn't budge. Then this incident happened. [/quote]
