Yes, yes. The full blown statist mentality. Everything bad is illegal, and everything good is mandatory.

Obamacare required health insurance until the GOP got the requirement removed. Obamacare was essentially Mitt Romney's bill that other GOPers supported until they closed ranks and didn't, out of hatred of Obama. Like Trump and the border bill, the GOP didn't want Obama to get a win, something way more important than the country.
Edgetho has become a Democrat!
Some years ago, after Obamacare was passed, I took my Aunt Betty to her bone doctor for a routine exam. She was informed that the medication they were giving her for osteoporosis was adversely affecting her liver and it would have to be changed. The most effective and affordable medication they were not allowed to prescribe unless she had had her gallbladder removed!! The medication she was put on costs thousands per dose with a hefty co-pay every time she gets it twice a year.
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?
The government administered healthcare system has become just that ridiculous. The reams and thousands of rules, regulations, mandates, restrictions have turned what was the finest healthcare system in the world into a nightmare of paperwork, confusion, and legal nightmare.
The media and others who are applauding the death of the CEO, who are justifying and/or defending it, are promoting pure evil, encouraging more of the same, blaming the healthcare companies instead of those who are writing the rules and regulations. It is wrong. It is dangerous. And no ethical person should condone it.

And that is why healthcare is NOT a right. If it was, we could compel people to become doctors, force hospitals to be built, etc.
He didn't "die". He was murdered. Big difference.

The Justice Department has launched an investigation into UnitedHealth Group’s UNH -1.69%decrease; red down pointing triangle Medicare billing practices in recent months, people familiar with the matter say.
The new civil fraud investigation is examining the company’s practices for recording diagnoses that trigger extra payments to its Medicare Advantage plans, including at physician groups the insurance giant owns.
A series of articles in The Wall Street Journal last year showed that Medicare paid UnitedHealth billions of dollars for questionable diagnoses. Attorneys with the Justice Department as recently as Jan. 31 interviewed medical providers named in the articles.
In the Medicare Advantage system, insurers get lump-sum payments from the federal government to oversee enrollees’ Medicare benefits. When patients have certain diagnoses, the payments go up, creating an incentive to diagnose more diseases.
The Medicare billing investigation adds to the scrutiny on UnitedHealth, the $400 billion company that owns the largest U.S. health insurer and a sprawling network of other health-industry assets including its doctor practices, a large pharmacy-benefit manager and data and technology operations.

we will never know how many people the CEO of UnitedHealth care murder with his policies
People die of disease all the time. Health insurance doesn't take the place of not ******* yourself up with bad choices.
And we have become a nation accustomed to demanding a healthcare solution to problems we cause to ourselves. There is a reason GLP1's are making drug manufacturers big money and every time you turn on the TV you see ads for them.
