    Okay, I get the meme, but let’s not conflate what Brian Thompson did with the knowledge and skill required to practice medicine.

    He had a bachelor of business administration, and his claim to fame was increasing UnitedHealthCare’s denial claim rate from 8% to nearly 28%, while passing the profits from causing such widespread misery, suffering, and I am sure in many cases death, on to his investors and pocketing enough to never need to think about wealth again. The worst and least ethical of practicing doctors did more for society than Brian Thompson. Choosing to do nothing meaningful is a greater credit to society than Brian Thompson.

    You’ve got it all wrong, Luigi was just helping out his dear brother who was increasingly frustrated and angered at the insurance company refusing to let him get patients the treatment they needed.
