Are these the death panels we were promised?
Death panels are a classic example of criticizing socialism by describing capitalism.
Sure hope nothing happens to their new CEO.

We don’t take kindly to Aliens ‘round these parts.
…took me a sec… (had to do a double-take)
Same except replace nothing with something.
Witty controlled the whole UHG group, he chickened and stepped down recently. probably the BODs need to next.
What utter cocksuckers. Every last person involved in this scheme deserves to be thrown into jail.
Sounds like another CEO could use a high-velocity pat on the back.

And this is why no one gave a shit or even cheered when that CEO was shot. Health insurance as a whole needs to be completely dismantled and the healthcare system in the USA needs to be restructured. I understand if something like that were to happen, it would take many many years and a lot of work to accomplish.
not even the estranged wife admonished the public for her former husbands death, also because she wanted a divorce down the line. Plus Witty dint really bat an eye either of his death, because thompson was going to rat on them for insider trading.
they made sure to clamp down on the news pretty quickly, and astroturfed news about luigi, and we barely heard about him in over a year, just a little here and there.

Luigi for president
News like this reminds me that Luigi did nothing wrong.
Luigi didn’t do anything because he’s innocent
Also, the actual shooter did nothing wrong. Should be considered mass defense of others.
Looks like UHC didn’t learn a damn thing.
It’s the Free Market at work! The last healthcare CEO that got this psychopathic spawned a Free Market correction in the form of a pissed off customer who murdered him. As a result, his company, and all the other healthcare companies, loosened up their denials. THAT’S a perfect example of the Free Market at work.
It looks like we’re due for another Free Market correction.
Damn. Chat, are the libertarians correct here for once?
Idk do libertarians support monopolies and being forced to work to afford healthcare?
The core libertarian philosophy of “Anyone can do what they want and is free to choose” reminds me of this: https://xkcd.com/1060/
Like yes, that’s true, that’s why I’m choosing to build a better society through socialism.
One time just isn’t enough to retain the lesson.
UHG the whole health group is terrible, which UHC is umbrella udner.
Soooo… It’s obviously worse when it involves people’s lives, but:
Every corporation does this. Maximize profit right to the border of legality. Sometimes landing on the wrong side of it, but that’s “just the cost of doing business”.
That’s what you get with unregulated capitalism.
People’s health is the textbook definition of inelastic demand. It should never have been allowed to be a free market and we should require health insurance providers to be registered non-profits at the BARE minimum.
Yeah, but we also need to get comfortable piercing the corporate veil when it comes to decisions like this. The corporation diffuses responsibility, it makes everyone feel they must do a thing. We have to break through that and make it clear that people have a legal responsibility to defy instructions like this, to not give instructions like this, and to inform their superiors when instructions will lead to this.
My dad, a multiple myeloma patient on very expensive chemo, went into the hospital last fall. While there, a pair of palliative care nurses came to see him unbidden and basically told him they thought he was dying and that he should stop chemo and go into hospice. He briefly went along with it but then changed his mind and decided he wanted to keep fighting the cancer. Something about the palliative care nurses’ approach put me off and made me wonder if insurance companies hire people like this to wander hospitals and convince chemo patients to basically off themselves. One of the nurses looked exactly like the popular conception of Jesus and I wondered if he cultivated this look specifically to help him convince people.
In their defense, my dad did decide to stop chemo and go on hospice a week later, and he died five days after that. So I can’t say they were really wrong in their assessment, but I remain suspicious.
nurs
probably to save them money from continue care til your dad passes away. with organ donations the people will circle the hospital like vultures when a patients about to pass too.
I think it’s possible it’s something they do. Why not?
No one’s going to stop them.
I’m sorry your dad died. My condolences.
Straight to fucking jail. Jesus Christ.
I wish these people get to live under the systems they create for millions of people, with none of their priceless and benefits.
Behold: Efficiency!
This is just created 3 more Luigis.
Time for another ceo to bite it.
