“When other’s human lives are deemed worthless, it is not surprising to have others view your life of no value as well,” wrote one medical doctor, whose identity the Daily Beast confirmed.

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.

    You responded to the previous comment (about police violence towards protesters) with nonsense about how protests ended the war in Vietnam and how we need to go “back” to “centrism” and shut up the “extreme left” and extreme right.

    It’s not a serious comment. Responding with someone pointing out the brutality and lethality of police response to protests with but Vietnam! just shows your utter lack of knowledge. The police murdered Vietnam protesters. It wasn’t the whitewashed peaceful bullshit people it’s been remembered as.

    The fact that you want centrism is utterly fucking laughable. Why do you think we’re in this mess? Are you just a blue MAGA who reflexively blames republicans for everything wrong with this country without any critical thought at all, just parroting MSM talking points?

    What extreme left? Who in the extreme left has any power? Name some names, I’ll wait. There is no extreme left in this country save for a handful of unorganized working class anti fascist types.

    Where’s that scooby doo meme where Fred pulls the mask off the criminal and the before and after are labeled centrist and fascist? Because that’s where this convo seems to be heading. You just really don’t get it. Centrism, liberalism, conservativism (which is just further right liberalism), fascism, they’re the only ideologies with any power since… JFK? Even earlier than that? There has never been leftist power in America, ever.
