  • I also had a father. Only mine was taken from me by this healthcare system. Fuck this guy. Fuck his family. Their lavish lifestyle is fueled by denying people like my father care. Fuck them and anyone who licks their boots.

  • I know for a fact that the congress critters and the military don’t. I’m less certain of federal employees… there’s no way the president is going through health insurance the way we are. Or SCOTUS. Some low level paper pusher? Maybe they’re on the same system we are.

  • Remember, those cops are getting their claims denied too. They have every reason to slow walk this…

    The only people that I know of who aren’t dealing with this clusterfuck are the current and former congress critters, the military, and I believe federal employees / executive and judicial branches. Everyone else is getting fucked the same.

  • I don’t think the police give a shit about the killer of this CEO. The cops don’t get special health care they’re in the same system the rest of us are in that denies their loved ones care.

    I’m less certain of the military because they have their own healthcare system. But even then they have non military friends and family getting fucked over.

  • Union activity has existed for decades and this utter failure of the social contract has been going on just as long. The unions only fought for themselves (understandably) while non union workers were manipulated by media to be against unionization. That’s unlikely to change in any meaningful way anytime soon. We’re too divided, too manipulated, and most importantly it takes too long when people have already been suffering for decades. I see this going the route of stochastic terrorism. This guy fired the first shot of a lopsided future (current?) war.

  • It wouldn’t change anything. This is working class revolt, and both political parties are led by members of the ruling class. Republican and democrat leadership are equally scared I bet. And their donors even more so. This was an attack on them.

    (You’re right John brown is more apt, but bin Laden had seal team six)

  • I love the username btw.

    Yeah, it’s one thing to ration care at the end of life where the focus is on making a dying person comfortable rather than try to prolong the inevitable as we humans no matter how much we spend trying we can’t live forever nor should we and it’s better to use limited resources to prolong the lives of those who are not near death. But the profit in it is what’s sickening and IMO part of the heart of our decline as a country (capitalism being the main culprit but other countries are capitalist and not nearly as dystopian as us - everything ties back to our fucked healthcare system and liability)

  • Oh I’m sure there’s someone who wants to get the fame for killing modern day bin Laden (omg what a sentence). But I think the majority of the rank and file have had negative experiences themselves with the health insurance companies and don’t want to do more than the bare minimum in solving this.

    Maybe I’m being biased and hyperbolic but this is the most unifying political event I’ve ever lived through and I lived through quite a bit of major political events now. Only the most pearl clutching of false piety liberals are condemning this… nearly everyone in this country has had first or secondhand experience of being fucked over by health insurance.
