• Is there really nobody on the internet who actually feels sorry for the dead CEO?

  • I find the whole reaction pretty distasteful, if I'm honest. I get that healthcare in America is fucked, mainly because of the healthcare companies, but that doesn't mean we should celebrate someone's murder.

  • Agree. But it's one of those things where your lived experience influences how you react.

    Other than being a newb and having to tripple check everything to make sure we didn't get fucked I found it pretty good. We had fertility treatment plus some other bits and I dealt with the admin. But then we had a high end package and in the grand scheme of things no really big items.

    I worked for a prescription benefit company and one of the accounts was basically a glorified discount card that low paid workers got so their company could pretend they had prescription cover. Most of the time drugs either weren't covered or could be bought more cheaply elsewhere. When you feel like you're being fucked on your health so someone else can get rich I think your sympathy takes a hit.

    It's absolutely personal for so many of them.

    I'm celebrating class war gaining a tiny sliver of symmetry.

  • I agree. Even with the level of hatred for the system that is in place, I have a hard time understanding the celebration of a murder.

    People should instead be a little more angry on a daily basis and do everything they can to ensure a single payer system gets put in place. Being active and voting is a start.

  • Insurers routinely make the decision to save money by letting clients die.
