Summary

Reddit’s r/medicine moderators deleted a thread where doctors and users harshly criticized murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Comments, including satirical rejections of insurance claims for gunshot wounds, targeted UHC’s reputation for denying care to boost profits.

Despite the removal, similar discussions continue, with medical professionals condemning UHC’s business practices under Thompson’s leadership, which a Senate report recently criticized for denying post-acute care.

Thompson, shot in what appears to be a targeted attack, led a company notorious for its high claim denial rates, fueling ongoing debates about corporate ethics in healthcare.

      I will have to agree to disagree. I’m not interested in joining an authoritarian instance, which .ml is.

      If your definition of “sane” is authoritarian bootlicking and swallowing Eastern propaganda like it’s candy, sure. Say, I wonder what’ll happen if you try criticizing China, Russia or North Korea on your instance?

        I criticize and ask directly all the time. I learned not to post or meme reply like I’m an actual adult having a conversation in those spaces though. It takes some getting used to, but it’s possible. People really have a weird skewed view of what it’s like to be a .ml user, I see more privacy and meme posts than anything else. All the political crap usually comes from .world in my feed.

      I was kinda disappointed I couldn’t find anything with .ml when all the .world mod drama was going on. Plenty of meme’s but nothing in the news and politics communities when I checked at the time.
