The People Cheering the UnitedHealthcare CEO Shooting

You got proof to back that up?

And those government employees get big old pensions that have to be covered as well.

You're actually comparing Government Employee pensions with healthcare insurance executive compensation?

Seriously?

 

[DonGlock26]

I use "Mexicans" as a rhetorical shortcut.

I'm well aware they are coming from all of Central and South America.

And China.

I suspect, if a conservative used a "rhetorical shortcut" like that, they would be called a racist
by the progressive moonbats here.

How much does a pension cost someone over the life of their retirement if it's not funded properly?

Government Pensions are a ticking time bomb.

 

[g5000]

Government Pensions are a ticking time bomb.

Yep. Connecticut and Illinois, in particular.

To get votes, previous governors lowered the defined contributions, not caring that shit would blow up long after they were gone.

The Irony in all of this is that Luigi Mangione will finally get the free healthcare that he needs under the prison healthcare system, which he was unable to get as a free person through the private insurance system!

 

[Delldude]

Medical care in the U.S. is already as mediocre as it could possibly get.

Let the government run it then.

 

[Delldude]

Those developed countries with UHC live longer than we do.

It's probably what's in what they consume that is the reason, not the HC.

Food Babe.

Makes a good point comparing. This clip is what I saw:



Big difference. I don't follow her, just saw the clip.

BTW, just red FDA is dropping a certain red dye.

The irony will be he'll find UHC wasn't that bad after all.

They're the exact same except for the oil used to fry them. The laws regarding reported ingredients are different between the US and UK.

The "beef flavoring" listed in the US ingredient list is an enzyme found in the type of oil used during the automated cutting process of the fries. In the UK since that isn't added to the fries directly it isn't required to be listed as an ingredient, but in the US since there is a chance for cross contamination or some remnants it's required to be listed. This is why you see labels in the US mention "may contain nuts" despite no nuts being used as an ingredient.

Under the same rules the UK's fry ingredients would look like:

Potatoes, Non-Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils (Rapeseed), Yellow Split Peas, Tomato, Breadcrumb (8%) (Rice Flour, Gram Flour, Maize Flour, Amaranth Flour, Maize Starch, Teff Flour, Salt, Dried Glucose Syrup, Dextrose, Emulsifier (Mono- and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids)), Cooked Arborio Rice, Rice Flour, Sundried Tomato Pesto (7%) (Water, Sundried Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato, Salt), Tomato Paste, Red Wine Vinegar, Olive Oil (Refined Olive Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil), Basil, Red Onion, White Sugar, Garlic Puree, Cornflour, Black Pepper), Red Pepper (7%), Water, Sunflower Oil, Maize Starch, Onion, Rapeseed Oil, Maize Flour, Basil, Garlic Puree, Salt, Black Pepper, Thickener (Xanthan Gum)

She points out more than french fry oil.

It's their laws regarding what can be used are for health reasons.

There is no justifying this kind of vigilantism. At the same time, it is surprising people such as this CEO don't realize they cannot keep abusing people forever without someone feeling pushed too far.

Anyone who has been covered by UHC in the past will tell you that they were cheapskates long before Brian Thompson took over.

Not necessarily "the government", but at least some form of humanitarian collective action.

Seriously?

A good percentage of private and public pensions are underfunded. Progs legislation the first two years of Joe filled some coffers up enough to keep the pensions going.

Then fund them. We are the wealthiest nation on earth.

The People Cheering the UnitedHealthcare CEO Shooting

A cold-blooded murder has become, to many, an opportunity to vent.

nymag.com

After her mother was diagnosed with stage-four breast cancer, Anna watched for years as she fought both the illness and the health-care system until her death in 2020. “The fight with the insurance companies was, in many ways, worse than cancer,” Anna says. “It took over my entire family’s life.”

She recalls her mother’s time-consuming struggles to get new treatments approved. “It was just so maddening to know they were shaving years off my mom’s life because of the paperwork,” she says.

So on Wednesday morning when she heard the news that UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot dead in Manhattan, she had a perverse reaction.

“I am ashamed to admit it, but there was a little surge of Schadenfreude,” says Anna, who, like several others in this story, asked to use a pseudonym to protect her privacy.

She was far from alone. Across the internet and on social media, countless people expressed grim satisfaction or even glee at the murder of 50-year-old Thompson, who is survived by a wife and two sons. Authorities say he was killed in a targeted attack and, days after the incident, the unidentified gunman is still at large. Bullet casings recovered by police were inscribed with the words deny, defend, and depose, apparent references to how insurance companies deal with patient claims.

But what does the article leave out? In fact, what did the shooter fail to consider as well as all the groupie fans of the shooter?

Medicaid and Medicare combined, all run by the government, denied health care claims that matched those of United Health care. as they denied close to 16 million claims, yet no one cries about this? Why? No one is picking up a gun to go after the people that run those institutions, nor are they picking up guns to go after the politicians that put them there and set policy for them. Why?

The answer is simple, the Legacy media, as well as academia, have essentially turned people against private health care in favor of government run health care, on the premise that these private health care companies are killing people for money by denying them health care, while government is their savior. This causes people like the shooter that killed the CEO health care executive, to assassinate these individuals with righteous indignation, much like the shooter felt who tried to assassinated Trump. Why did he try to assassinate Trump? It is because he was told by Legacy media and the democrat party that Trump was Hitler.

Who does not want to assassinate Hitler? I think most everyone would, thinking they are saving millions of lives in the process. It is so bad, 1 in 3 democrats polled said they were sorry Trump was not assassinated, and I'm sure the same number are cheering the assassination of the health care CEO as well, if not more.

I have been appalled by the news coverage as I see reporter after reporter saying, "People can only be pushed so far.........." so as to help justify the event, prompting more to act.

Yet as we see with government run health care, if the government takes it over, which is the only other alternative, pretty much just as many people will have their claims turned down. In addition, once government takes over health care completely, they can turn down more claims on a whim, because when it comes to government entitlements, they owe you nothing as they can turn you down for anything. In fact, if government run health care is so wonderful, why are people coming to the US for health care from places like Canada and Europe?

I think what is shows is just how dissatisfied people are with the healthcare system. It is the same 'burn it down' mentality that has garnered so much support for Trump.

 

[dblack]

That would be government......

That's certainly what the government tells us.

Believe it or not, people aren't stupid. We can solve our problems. Voluntarily. No need to get the police involved.

BBBBBBBBUT! I thought the Bastard Son Of Frank Marshall Davis (peace be upon him) fixed all that with obamacare?

No? Didn't he fix it? No, you say?

Why is it that everything dimocrap scum touch turns to shit? Ever noticed that?

The fix for Health Care, Health Insurance is really simple -- Make it required, Which is what the Bastard Son Of Frank Marshall Davis tried to do. But he FUCKED that up, too. Know why? Because he, along with every other dimocrap scum on the Planet is STUPID.

WE got Welfare fixed... As much as possible. A dimocrap scum idea that Republicans made work (Nixon, Reagan, Bush I and II).

Why don't dimocrap scum work with Republicans to try to fix Health Care/Insurance? Simple. dimocrap scum don't want it Fixed. They want it destroyed so they can institute socialized medicine. Because, when you have socialized medicine, you have socialism.

We need to institute the simplicity of the Swiss System. PRIVATE Health Insurance is REQUIRED. Study it. It takes about 2 minutes to understand it.

What KILLS our Insurance System is the involvement of goobermint. Medicare/Medicaid don't pay what Private Carriers pay. So Hospitals and Doctors Cost-Shift onto Private Carriers. Again, trying to explain Relativity to 3rd graders is hopeless.

All dimocrap scum know is -- Capitalism bad. They're just simply stupid. I wish we could rid ourselves of their stupidity
