I’m not. I don’t want to pay for your IVF or expensive birth control, but Pelosi and Co. force me to.
Cool I don't want to pay for your boner pills or anti-obesity drugs, but health insurance is about different strokes for different folks.
This this this.
People jumping off of mountains and then expecting everyone else to pay the bills.

Attempt to destabilize
Test case to see how nuts social media and mass media follows it
Test case if America will cannibalize itself with chaos and internal theories.
Deemed a success thus far.
I’m skeptical because I don’t find the passing of a ceo to be destabilizing.
+1 and America was already cannibalizing itself — if anything, this event united the country, as people across the political spectrum have had dreadful encounters with insurers.
That’s a good way of putting it. No one love health insurance companies.
That is about the only thing conservatives and liberals can agree on! I was talking about this with my “Fox News is not conservative enough” (really) aunt and uncle and their reaction was “the CEO had it coming.” Outside truly bleeding hearts, his fellow industry vultures and the man’s family and friends nobody is anything but gleeful or indifferent about the murder.
Agree. Very few people on either side are bothered by this. It’s truly bipartisan. At best, the vase majority of ordinary people on the right or left are indifferent.
If Americans are indifferent when literal children are gunned down in schools, why would anyone care about a CEO? This is what the people in power want- indifference.
It's not indifference that someone was killed. It's indifference that a a greedy scumbag was killed, and that (perhaps) a killer would get away with it, because karma. Because nothing of value was lost. Just like many other CEO's think when regular people suffer.
I don't feel indifferent. Murder is wrong. He should not have shot Brian Thompson.

It is the one thing that united a divided country.
That is why it's called United Health Care

Exactly, he was hired. By who and for what motive is the question. Personally, I think the CEO knew too much the Russian cybersecurity incident.
Yes, he was hired, either by Thompson himself, or by another insider trader.

The whole system is a sh&t show. Cardiologist in the US make like a half a million, in the Uk it’s like £150K.
People should be mad at their legislators for allowing it to get this way. This is not to say that insurers don’t have their problems but they are but one cog in the wheel of grift and dysfunction.
Cardiologists actually provide an extremely valuable service. Insurance companies suck money out of the system. Do you really not see the difference?
In many cases they keep the system from ripping people off and in many cases make sure that people don’t get the wrong med or unnecessary procedures. I know you think your doctor is the bees knees and would never do anything unethical or wrong but you would be wrong. Consider the fact that so many physician groups have sold out to PE who are managing care by the way in which they manage the practice. The docs didn’t sell because they are concerned about the good of the patients - they wanted a paycheck. There are no innocents in this game.
Yep. Private equity is all over specialized surgical and medical groups …. these doctors are money machines. Cha Ching! $$ Smart doctors know how to game the system. Spend 15 minutes with a patient, quick exam, order scans. Done. Next!
Even large hospital groups order needless scans, ultrasounds, blood work, procedures, unnecessary surgeries…it’s insane.
Yes—I’m generally pro doctor but anyone who thinks that doctors don’t need checks on spending is naive. The nursing homes are notorious for ordering useless tests and therapies to pad their profits. And lots of doctors will just write whatever test or script their patient wants because it’s easier than arguing or because they are making a profit (remember the opioid epidemic?). Everyone would like to have great doctors who only prescribe medically necessary stuff and only do so in their best interest, and have affordable health care that covers all medically necessary treatments, even if those treatments cost millions of dollars a year for a single condition. But it’s not reality. Yes, let’s crack down on the bad actors, but this generalized hate for health insurance providers is just so naive and dangerous. Does anyone remember the world before health insurance? Working class people just died if they got anything that needed more than a doctors visit. Pooling of risk is a good thing—that’s what insurance is. But insurance companies have to follow their written policies.
There are monsters at every level of the system. This hospital allowed this doctor to misdiagnose and kill patients because he made money for them.
The opioid epidemic is due in part to physicians being courted by pharma sales people and the fact that no one was watching what was going on so the pill mills were allowed to dispense like crazy and Medicaid just paid. I’m not saying health insurance companies are angels by any means but there are plenty of bad actors out there.

Also look at the stories about patients being kept in psych wards so that the monstrous doctors could keep billing insurance. It's sickening. The whole system from insurance to hospital to medical staff, is corrupt.
And Americans need to stop thinking this country has the most envied medical system in the world, because anyone who has actually traveled and needed medical care in other countries, knows it's BS. I have friends currently traveling to a couple of other countries for advanced medical treatments that the US doesn't offer.
Would you mind sharing what these advanced medical treatments are?

I know you think you're brilliant writing this, but all it does is show how brainwashed you are after years and years and years of media covering everything from parades to sporting events and telling you over and over again "there are no credible terror threats" because they want it drilled into you there are credible terror threats when there never really are credible threats, but they want you to think like that.
So sadly, you're just Pavlov's dog and you were trained to think up something this preposterous, but I'm sure you'll never grasp that fact.

DP. I mean, obviously. No one gets super crazy wealthy through totally ethical and moral ways.
