Summary
Reddit’s r/medicine moderators deleted a thread where doctors and users harshly criticized murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Comments, including satirical rejections of insurance claims for gunshot wounds, targeted UHC’s reputation for denying care to boost profits.
Despite the removal, similar discussions continue, with medical professionals condemning UHC’s business practices under Thompson’s leadership, which a Senate report recently criticized for denying post-acute care.
Thompson, shot in what appears to be a targeted attack, led a company notorious for its high claim denial rates, fueling ongoing debates about corporate ethics in healthcare.
OH FUCK RIGHT OFF. “We don’t use our institutions” no moron, our institutions are designed to be a facade of representative democracy when in reality any type of progressive pushback against our healthcare system gets tanked intentionally by well placed spoilers such as joe Lieberman.
They made peaceful change impossible so violence is what they’re getting and what they fucking DESERVE. They’re committing social murder and profiting!! off of it living lavish lives of luxury while my family suffers - I lost my dad and my house. These people deserve to die.
We tried the nice way. Now it’s time they find out what the second amendment really stands for. Bunch of fucking tyrants and pearl clutching bootlickers carrying the water for them. Do better.
Have fun turning your country from a democracy into a dictatorship and then preach to other countries you invade that you bring peace… What a real joke…
You think I supported any of that? What part of America’s democratic republic is a facade do you not understand? What part of America has always been teetering between right wing and outright fascist (save for a few years during WW2) do you not understand? Our history from our founding (ignoring native history that predates it) on is a story of insane religious Puritanism and persecution of anyone subversive of that (Salem witch trials is a great example starting pre US, but it goes all the way to satanic panic of the 1980s and todays christofascism), our land theft from natives and genocide of them, from the beginning to modern day (notably our attitudes of manifest destiny being really obvious even today), our enslavement of Africans and their descendants from the very beginning to present day in prisons thanks to the 13th amendment, I can go and on and on. We’ve been at war in some way shape or form for all of about 7 years out of our nearly 250? And that’s ignoring the colonial / native stuff prior.
We live under the dictatorship of capital and the USD is backed by oil. Notice who we regime change? Left wing leaders. Notice why? Oil and other natural resources for our multinationals to exploit. Who do we prop up? Fascists and right wing dictatorships. Try to sell oil in any other currency besides USD? We’ll bomb you. We regime change anyone who gets in the way of our corporate interests. The line must go up.
It’s obvious you’re not American and you’re wasting my time. You haven’t got a single fucking clue of what it’s like being an American so sit down and shut up. We have not been represented by our leaders since before I was alive and I’m 35. Our democracy is a complete and utter fucking sham, our politicians in both parties barring a teeny tiny inconsequential handful are all bought out by corporate America and it’s billionaire owners.
Go look up Henry Kissinger, Oliver north, citizens United, the patriot act, the 2000 election, Jack Welch the list goes on and on there’s so much evil to expose - you need to learn what the hell you’re talking about if you wanna play the non American enlightened centrist bullshit game with an American leftist.
Well then, how about doing the same with the rest of the world…its been my experience that Americans love dedicating the rules to everyone else, including invading them but are far too sensitive to see their own flaws and accept criciticism from other countries… It’s not surprising that lost senators don’t even have a passport…
I don’t have more to add to this discussion. Happy holidays and best of luck.
Again, you act like I want america being the worlds policeman. I fucking don’t. Learn to read and stop putting your nose in American affairs if you don’t have a single fucking clue about what life is like here.
I want an end to capitalism and imperialism, I want healthcare. I want the United States as we know it finished as a country. Fuck this country.
