Summary

The killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has reignited debates over the U.S. healthcare system, with Americans sharing stories of denial, delays, and exorbitant costs despite having insurance.

Many report fighting insurers for coverage of essential treatments, facing hidden costs, and taking drastic steps like career changes to secure health insurance.

Critics blame corporate greed for worsening access and affordability, while others note the system’s complexity discourages seeking care.

Though some find employer-provided plans satisfactory, the overall system is described as profit-driven and increasingly inaccessible, leaving many financially strained or avoiding medical help altogether.

    It’s almost as if a parasitic organization, within a capitalist system that utilizes mottos like “you’re ether growing or dying,” would devolve into an ever more repugnant system that resorts to more and more denials of “service” as it can’t innovative to create more value, because they don’t create anything. These “services” just try to retain as much money given to them as possible and need to retain more and more to be “growing” as Lord God The Shareholder and the Holy Son Board Of Directors demands.

    It’s almost like that.
