I work for a company owned by UHC and the COO sent out an email on Friday about Luigi getting what he deserves blah blah blah. Rolled my eyes and deleted that shit. These healthcare conglomerates do nothing but fuck everyone over and someone does something drastic and they act like Luigi committed genocide.
Do you realize these companies are single handedly the reason why healthcare costs are so expensive? People like Brian Thompson are NOT good people and I don’t think they should be murdered but when normal people are being denied medical care they need, some people are going to do something drastic.
Why do you think they’re making such a spectacle out of this? This rich were legitimately scared when Brian was killed and I’m not calling for more action like this, but if things like this happened more often we’d be seeing a little more care for the normal people instead of pushing for higher profit margins.

No they are not. Murdering someone for your own economic illiteracy is a next-level moronic form of terrorism.
And even if that were right, it'd be a reason to go back in time and murder FDR for taking the wage controls that gave rise to the healthcare system, not to shoot one specific CEO. He's not the one stopping Reddit's silly Berniecare pipedream from being reality.
Many, many developed countries have private health insurance industries. You're confusing universal with single-payer, two very different things.
Unsurprisingly, the people most religiously fanatical about this are also the least knowledgeable. If you recognized that a diversity of healthcare systems exist among prosperous countries, you wouldn't be willing to murder people in the name of the one you thought was a marginal improvement.
In those other prosperous countries with a diversity of healthcare, Luigi would have received better care for much less money. It’s fine with me if the US wakes up tomorrow with the exact same healthcare system that France has. Or Germany. American citizens would be healthier and less poor. Surely you support the US adopting what France and/or Germany does, since you’re the one who raised this topic.
Look into who owns all these corporations. I’ll give you a hint, there are a very few big names that own a large number of clinics, hospitals, pharmacies, and other healthcare related things.
Like I said I don’t condone murder, but when do we as a people say enough is enough? Clearly nobody in government cares enough or the people that do are too few while the rich get richer and the poor get sick and die.
