Yeah they're auto-denying benefits regardless of the facts of each case because they know that some people won't appeal, either because UHC makes it impossible by design, or because the patient is too ill/dies first.
How is the shooter worse than the people that designed and built that system? Killing people at a distance by withholding care is still killing them.
No one knows his motives yet.
But regardless it’s not hard to imagine a health insurance plan denying some sort of life prolonging treatment under the explanation of “you’re gonna die either way”. In that situation I can see how someone or a family member might feel that murder is justified - in the same way a parent might feel that way towards a killer of a child.
Not justifying it - but I can understand it. And I dont think that is equivalent to losing one’s mind.
Ya know, if that (or something similar) happened to my kid, id have a hard time not justifying it. Same sentiment if that (or something similar) happened to me in my early 20's when i was single with nothing tying me down.
If you sell me expensive services that will save my kids life, take my money, and then withhold those services as a matter of fiscal policy... i see that as premeditated murder in the commission of a robbery and the person who implemented that policy is ultimately responsible.
I understand why such vigilantism is illegal, and i agree that it should stay illegal (who you think is guilty is not always guilty and the punishment must fit the crime). But, i also struggle to find a moral problem with vigilantism if the party is in fact guilty, and the retribution is commensurate with the crime.

dunfree is all knowing.
The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.
Apparently the NYPD found his backpack in Central Park, with Monopoly money in it.
Get a grip, you’re the one who’s lost his fucking mind. If you can’t see the comparison in those examples you are stupid and ignorant. I can’t respond but I’m responding? MoronOriginally Posted by jackstraw;[emoji[emoji6[emoji640

Well, at least he died doing what he loved: gloating to shareholders about how he'd turned healthcare into just another massive wealth transfer system to steal from the weakest and give it to the people who need it the least.
Usually, a gangster like this should be found with a wad of money crammed up his ass. (Monopoly money, perhaps) White collar sociopath no better than Tony Soprano, he just killed and robbed with an algorithm instead of a gun.

Boom. Love me some Neckdeep!
I think the only learning moment for me is just a reminder of just how much ADD and apathy society actually has. An is, so this is how you just start a conversation about the negative effects of the ruthless for profit health insurance system?
What's next? What are Swifty and Kelce up to? Old and Orange? The border?
I swear, focus is so low and performative online outrage is so high, shit like this is cover for the actual bad shit going down. How many people got murdered yesterday?
About 68 murders yesterday.

I'm just disagreeing with the premise that the shooter is irrational or has absolutely lost his fucking mind. I don't think this is a Travis Bickle.
Quite the contrary. I see an organized, highly symbolic terrorist act. Message: this is not a victim, this is a crime boss suffering a crime boss's fate. Shot down on the pavement. I assume the monopoly money was originally intended to be left on the victim which is a message in the mob that someone was killed because they were too greedy.
Moreover, the public reaction shows the shooter is not irrational, just amoral. That's what's implied when millions of people say they don't condone but certainly understand. It's only irrational if he fears the consequences. If he felt like he has nothing more to lose, it's not "irrational". It's amoral AND the killer knows this because he's including gestures to justify his actions. I don't think he's crazy, I think this guy is just insanely pissed off.
I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!

Yeah, much more Howard Beale than Travis Bickle.
