American Healthcare Insures ain’t liked…..

A argument FOR ‘Medicare for All’,  that is just NOT gonna happen….

(Harris walked away from the idea)

People may NOT be happy the current system…

But they ARE simply NOT gonna give up the choice they have to pick their doctor and having other choices that a Government run system would take away from them………

 

“I Hate Insurance Companies”

AFacebook post by the company expressing sadness and shock at Thompson’s killing has, as of the time of writing, nearly eighty thousand laughing emoji reactions. Twitter/X exploded with jokes about his murder.

“A good lesson here is that you should live your life in such a way that when you die, nobody pulls out a spreadsheet to mathematically explain why they’re happy you’re dead,” wrote comedian Kristin Chirico in a tweet that so far has 54,000 likes.

“Chipotle raised its prices again and someone just asked who the CEO is LMFAOOOO,” another user tweeted, garnering 315,000 likes so far.

Many of these are being collected and cross-posted on Instagram. Angry commentary is also happening at X’s rival, Bluesky. “The reward out for the person who shot United Healthcare’s CEO isn’t even enough to cover 1/9 of the bill we got for 28 days of radiation,” cartoonist Marie Enger wrote on the platform, receiving thousands of likes.

TikTokers are writing and performing songs celebrating Thompson’s murder, with lyrics like “the people got a prize in a blood celebration” and “you should never have to face the things your customers all face,” directed at CEOs. Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don’t Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It — a fourteen-year-old book criticizing health insurance companies’ practices whose title closely matches the words written on the casings of the bullets Thompson’s killer fired at him — has suddenly rocketed to number three on Amazon’s best-selling books in the business and money category.

On Reddit, a thread about the murder on the r/medicine subreddit — a forum that describes itself as “a virtual lounge for physicians and other medical professionals” — had to be closed by moderators because users responded with a spree of jokes. The top comment is from a nurse who wrote out a parody of a UHC denial-of-care letter, in this case addressed to Thompson regarding his emergency treatment after being shot. UHC couldn’t cover his emergency services, explains the comment, because he hadn’t proved “medical necessity,” he hadn’t gotten “prior authorization,” the ER he went to was out of network, and he hadn’t explored other, lower-cost options.

“We understand that you were actively ‘bleeding out,’ but this does not exempt you from exploring lower-cost care pathways,” says the comment.
