United Healthcare CEO assassinated

[Ronnie_B]

Think you have me confused as well. That’s ok. As for the winning of the Supreme Court that was McConnell and Grassley refusing to give hearings and then pushing someone though in record speed under the same circumstances. But that’s politics . My thoughts on the death penalty are that unfortunately we as a society haven’t used it fairly in the past. Equal treatment under the law is more about economic status. The system involves humans and human error. Can’t undo a wrongfully executed person.
Lock up the worst and never let them see the light of day.

So let's get back to basics - how does one make sense of being ok with the execution of a CEO but not ok with the execution of a child killer?

I'm seeing so many people on social media pubically cheering the death of Thompson but are against the death penalty.

I'm not a liberal, but thank you. You folks don't care about rape, that's why MAGA won the White House. Rape is ok, but murder is not.

Weird assessment to make from me laughing at your posts though. Please find a post of me defending the murder of this dude.

Anyways, awesome talking to you dude that I don't know and clearly has multiple handles.

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

I'd like to hear your take on that

Where do the masses get information?

people are selective in their outrage. I’m sure I can find some in both of our closets.

It’s not OK now or in the past, but that hasn’t stopped us. Humanity has been murdering since we got plopped on the planet for multiple reasons. Murder will be a tool in humanity’s toolbox up until the day we’re all gone.

This is all you needed to say. There's no but or whatabout to add.

Ok. I feel like you’re asking questions but don’t really want to have a discussion. That’s fine. I’ll take the hint. Be well.

You can probably offer a ton of instances where you feel that murder is warranted. I'll disagree every time though.

Do you want a real, although still horrible answer?

Killing a child killer isn’t going to change much. Whether the guy dies or sits in prison is largely irrelevant on the whole.

Killing the CEO has the potential to make the world a better place for many millions of people if it affects real change.

And, a second point: this CEO has caused way more deaths than any child serial killer ever has.

Wow.

If that’s what you got out of my thoughts on the matter you’re talking and not listening, at least as it pertains to me and my perspective. Again, I’ll take the hint. Be well.

Violence can be an effective tool for change.

Violence or encouraging violence by silence/words when you don’t get what you want seems to be ok now. At least that’s the message or mixed messages I got from January 6th.

But then it's not about principle or morals, it's about selective justice.

Plus you open the door to letting everybody be their own judge on what is proper justice.

But if we can get some proper and common sense fixes to our healthcare system, would definitely be a silver lining.

This is beyond disturbing.

If we didn’t have both parties in the pocket of pharmaceuticals and insurance a fix might be a possibility.

Yes the for profit health insurance is extremely disturbing

So, the real change will be letting government take over healthcare
You want the government to control everything. That’s the spirit. Cede control of everything.

 

[torbee]

That people are celebrating this murder and looking to begin a trend against other individuals high in power in the corporate world.....wow.

You should bone up on the French and American revolutions. Shit can get real, real fast, when people feel they have been materially harmed by the ruling class.

 

[torbee]

Someone please make sense out of this.

You don’t read good.

Sometimes in human history, it has been necessary to remind the ruling class that they have as much power as we the people are willing to give them.

What is the first line of the preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America?

For the record, it is the same answer as “who is the government.”

I support the Consitution.

Yeah, that's it.

This "we're smarter than everyone in the room" complex is why your side has no power. And we thank you for that!

Naw let’s have AI systems with high error rates and faceless private sector bureaucrats with zero medical expertise decide things. Neither is optimal btw.

The for profit health insurance industry with oversized political influence. The for profit part is acceptable unless unchecked.

 

[tumorboy]

Yeah, that's it.

Part of it to me at least is the Information Age we live in. We’ve dehumanized so many things. Not only looking at the social media verse. But look at healthcare in general. A lot of folks feel their pain is being treated like an item on an expense report. And that they don’t matter. Then you read about the AI being used by companies to deny claims and reduce their expenses. We are in strange times.

No other countries would trade with our healthcare racket. We get screwed here by people like the guy who just got murdered. But you’re good with it. Why I will never know.

Or the people wanting others dead because they are profitable and their job. Is what they do morally right? Not at all, but I don’t think that justifies wanting them killed.

I mean the government does such a bang up job. They can’t agree on anything and are trillions of dollars in debt. What could go wrong? Seems to me, the should have had the former Uhc ceo running the government. Could have cleared some debt.

You guys were all upset that Biden is old but you are okay having a corpse running the government?

That’s just not true.

Our company provides a substantial discount on health insurance premiums for meeting an annual point requirement - points awarded for health screenings, A1C checks, weight loss, gym membership, etc.

And that skin in the game discount is not unique to us.

Does your company offer the discount or does the insurance company? Because there is a difference. My guess is that your company discounts the costs of the insurance that are passed on to you not the insurance company discounting the total cost of the policy.

 

[Gus is dead]

It is both. We are a fatter nation than most of Europe and addicted to high fructose corn syrup. We also have much higher hidden costs in our healthcare system whether that be the admin costs of our insurance processing, legal liability or simply the pay for top healthcare executives.

How much is the percentage of the total costs of the top executives pay to the overall expenses of the company?

Or better stated, if they removed all the pay of the execs how much would the company's costs be reduced by as a percentage?

 

[Gus is dead]

Health insurance is awesome until you have to use it. The bureaucratic hoops that need to be jumped though don’t serve a purpose. And only raise the cost of care. Seriously we either need to be pay as you go. And have insurance for catastrophic care. Or base line public option. Then buy additional insurance if you want it. Having insurance attached to businesses makes what we pay for goods and services more expensive. Removing healthcare costs from other parts of the economy would be beneficial.

I agree and would favor real costs and insurance as it should be, catastrophic.

Really you want the government to control you. Just give them your check and let them tell you how they'll spend it. I can understand that. You want someone to take care of you and make decisions for you.

Little flick and yourself are jerking each other off raw to Langione’s picture. He’s your little Marxist hero now.

 

[HawkeyeHitman]

Personally I think shot in kneecaps or dick would be enough, or taking a pinky or leaving a big shiner on the face that Jay Leno has.

Push enough people that refuse to be heard, violence is the only answer. Didn't have to be this way or get this far but, for some, it has.

You’re a fvcking idiot.
