    Literally had some apologist neoliberal try to scold everyone yesterday for finding satisfaction in this because Brian had two kids.

    His policies KILLED kid’s parents, solely to increase private shareholder profits.

    Their parents had to die because Brian’s ego score line had to go up faster. 🤷

    And unlike his kids, the kids whose parents he killed largely don’t have blood drenched trust funds to support themselves materially.

      Not just parents dying but kids too. It was this guy’s responsibility to make sure the people who managed the company would refuse as much life saving care for children as possible. I do not endorse anyone to commit murder ever, but I won’t be shedding any tears when a monster like that is shot down. I do think it’s okay to feel some sympathy for his kids, but they’re wealthy. They’ll probably be okay in time.

        The kids are innocent in this and I don’t see why feeling bad for them is incompatible with being ok with their father’s death.

    Honestly, I’m glad that guy is dead, and if that makes me a bad person I guess I’ll just have to live with that.

    Hard to feel bad when a Machiavellian asshole like that actually suffers consequences. Sucks that he was immune to consequences from the legal system with all that money. If that wasn’t the case he might still be alive to go to jail.

    I used to work in medical billing and dealing with UHC denied claims was the absolute worst. I’m actually surprised that the denial rate is 32%. It seemed much higher.

    I feel like someone should compile a list of suspects (read: denied claims) and read them off loudly at every memorial event for him.

        Today we mourn @el_abuelo as he was not able to get proper treatment. UHC had denied his claim for prayers, but it took months to even get that, and by the time they were ready to make a judgement on thoughts, he had passed away.

      You know, I’ve had my gripes with them, but they have not once denied a claim for me. I even had a fully covered precautionary MRI because a couple of my family members have died suddenly from aneurysms in the past.

      I’m positive UHC would have said “LOL that sucks. Good luck tho!”

        I started with Kaiser, switched employer and had Anthem. Switched again and went back to Kaiser. My experience was just better with them. And yes, I prefer universal healthcare to this BS.

          Oh, by leaps and bounds. I think most Americans would absolutely agree with you, if they weren’t poisoned by propaganda and “Obama care bad.”

            I recall when Bernie briefly forced the subject into the public consciousness before the Dems forced him out and buried it again, there was a study done on this. It found that when universal healthcare was described in plain language without buzzwords that have been poisoned by propagandists, something like 70-80% of Amerians support it.

      They don’t deny claims, they just refuse to let you see a specialist that would generate the claims in the first place.
