    I don’t celebrate the murder of a United Healthcare CEO, whom by the way denied more Healthcare claims than any other insurance company in the world (by a decent margin). But I sure as hell don’t feel sorry for the guy.

    His policies can be directly tied to thousands of cases where people who needed life saving treatment, died so they could save a few bucks.

    But yeah, sit up on your high horse and feel superior to everybody else. You’re lucky you haven’t had to experience a health crisis that could potentially determine whether you live or die, or have a job.

      IDK it sounds to me like Luigi killed one guy and saved more than one life.

      Is that a bad thing now? Moral math says give Luigi a medal and a ride home.

      And then close down every health insurance company as Cancer Profiteering and fund a proper national system.

        a great man once said: “The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few”

        that one ceo died and made so many other health insurers across the US scared that many approved claims they wouldn’t have and didn’t before saving countless lives.

          It’s pretty well documented that all insurance companies starting approving more claims almost immediately after this event.

          Actually for the first month or two after the shooting, insurance companies across the board did start approving more claims. The system has resumed course since, but for a brief window, if you had medical issues you could actually have a decent chance at getting them paid for.
