    I have a negative view of health insurance companies. In fact, I have a negative view of corporations, from the local mom-&-pops that underpay their employees and expect long hours, to Amazon. They all suck.

    But people who create policies that cause immense loss of life (and cost and destruction) are really asking for ten-plus times the vengeance that actually comes their way.

    I’m not interested in that vengeance since it won’t solve the problem, but I don’t begrudge those who suffer at their hands from wanting to kill them back.

    The desperation to intimidate people is palpable. This won’t work and the 1% will turn to dividing the people along racial and/or national lines.

    What can I say, if it works it works.

        They don’t. I’ve met one person since that useless human got deleted that couldn’t understand why everyone was unsympathetic toward him. The person was very wealthy and has no understanding of how things are for the majority of people in the US. These people are really a lot like the french nobles before the french revolution.

    …well let me say here for whoever in the FBI / DOJ might be monitoring: the health insurance industry is a pox on american civilisation and stochastic remediation is the inevitable manifestation of celebrated principles of the declaration of independence…

      Petrol bomb their houses? Harder to trace that and a lower priority than murder

      Leaked image of their new detection system:

      It puts out a green ball whenever someone has unkind thoughts about health insurance companies

    The health insurance industry needs to be changed significantly as it neither makes care cheaper, more accessible or more available.

      Is there such a thing as an insurance co-op? If not, can that be a thing?

        Making money is only a side effect.

        It also kills the poor.

        People who fail to work harder, follow the rules more closely, buy into the party narrative better, conform in the various ways more closely - than the other people. That’s the poor.

        So the medical system is a population filter. It’s saving the cream and discarding the crap. Money is just one component in that machine.

    An evil company was evil. A very understandable thing happened when evil people are killing Americans. Now I’m going to get put on a list for liking a post.

    It’s like you don’t have to do anything besides exist and you get put on a list. I’m sure this won’t be used by the new administration to silence dissent.

      Well… You also have to have good morals, and worst of all, care just a little. Can’t have that.

      The US is already 90% towards fascism.
