    Luigi has not had, will never have, any impact on that system

    He already has. Heath insurance executives have all scrambled to take down their information from web sites. Because everybody now knows that this is a shameful job to have rather than a job to brag about.

      Wow! Such a HUGE win for the downtrodden and poor that are unable to afford basic medicine medical procedures!

      I’m sure they’ll be overjoyed to see that heath insurance executives have taken down their names from the parts of their websites that no one cares about or visits. This is exactly what was needed to fix the broken system!

      #winning.

        Whether someone approves of this or not, the result of CEO’s being more afraid to go to extreme measures to screw the public is something that is a good thing.

          And as I said, so long as they removed their pictures and info from websites- it’s a win?

          As has been said many times already, Luigi did nothing at all. At best, he sent a message to people who don’t have to, or care to listen, and inspired a bunch of internet activists to pump their fists in the air.

          The result? No change.

          Insurance companies are still doing exactly what they did before. And will continue to do so until actual action is taken.

            And as I said, the result of CEO’s being more afraid to screw the public sure is a win. And removing their pictures from a website proves they are afraid.

            You don’t know that at all. They may well have canceled some new measures to screw people over this.

            At best, he sent a message to…

            CEO’s to think twice before implementing that new scheme to screw people.

            Just because you have no imagination does not mean that there was no impact. You just cannot see it. Or rather, you do not want to see anything.

              I’d guarantee you they’re not afraid.

                You cannot give us that guarantee. Removing their information from web sites is literal proof they are afraid.

                  Are you afraid every night when you lock your front door before you go to bed? Or is it just a precaution?

                  They’re not afraid.

                    There is no need for any “precaution” if you don’t fear anything happening. I don’t need to take any “precautions” in case the sun does not rise every morning.

      Okay, so Luigi’s legacy is making health insurance CEOs safer in public?

        Nope. It is making health insurance CEOs more afraid to screw the public.

          Demonstrably not, though, because they’re still screwing full throttle.

            Nobody expected them to suddenly stop. But you do not know what crazy new schemes for “shareholder value” that they silently dropped.

              With the way so many assholes worship this fuck you would expect any tangible effect after so many months passed. It’s not like health insurance coverage from a medicaid provider is unknown black magic, there has gotta be stats to lean on if a change existed.

                You and me have no way of knowing whether there has been any tangible effects or not. If they quietly kill a stupid idea because they know it will make people mad you aren’t going to here about it.

                  I literally outlined exactly how we could know in the comment you replied to.
