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.
And yet he not only wished it, but CAUSED it, for thousands upon thousands in the name of shareholder profits.
Agreed and his company and all like him should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Imagine if millions of people walked the streets to stop the healthcare scam of America? Blue and red United…
So when the person murdering people and their company aren’t prosecuted. And after decades and decades and decades blue and red have not united to walk the streets and stop the healthcare scam what is your solution?
Cause right now your solution seems to be in favor of the dude murdering more people…
@Donkter@lemmy.world Well… I hope to find one, honestly… I really don’t know. I just don’t feel comfortable with glorifying murder, even if the CEO deserved it.
I hope someone that is smarter then I am will find a better way that won’t throw the United States into further division… My concern is that Billionaires will use this murder as an excuse to hire private militias (not the cops but mercenaries like black water) which would lead to civil war… Perhaps far fetched… Who knows
Whenever we have big protests, we get tear gassed, shot with rubber bullets, beaten with nightsticks, and arrested. Why do you think this time would be different?
Vietnam ended because of protest.
The police cannot stop millions of people that match because most of them would agree with you.
The US needs to stop giving the microphone to extreme left and right speakers and go back to being a centrist country…
Protest isn’t easy but it gains traction when everyone is united which at the moment the United States is not… The longer it’s citizens are not united, the longer corporations will fill its coffers and pig out on your hard earned cash…
The media keeps you distracted so that none of you see how similar you are with the other side. They have even convinced people to no longer speak to Trump people… Who does that benefit? Motherfucking Corporations. They want you to be divided in every cause possible as it remove the eye on them…
The national guard shot four people to death protesting the Vietnam war at Ohio state. Shut the fuck up and sit down liberal. It’s time the left gets a shot (hahahaha) at fixing shit.
Not sure what was your point based on what I said… Maybe read before writing…
They brutally attacked protesters during the Vietnam war protests, what are you talking about?
They did in fact stop millions of people in more recent protests, once again by using violence against the protesters.
As I said, it is not easy. When the elites believes they have no resistance, they pig out…
There is only so much that cops can prevent in a protest, especially in a day and age of technology where everything is recorded
I agree with the other things you said about solidarity.
But your implied view of protests, where the protesters have to suffer violence at the hands of the oppressors, is just insane to me.
And cops have been recorded commiting war crimes against the American people, and guess what the recordings did? Fucking. Nothing.
I am not saying that protesters should suffer through violence, that is twisting what is said. I said that when you are united as a people, you are capable of great things… And protest is one of tools that you have…
I pointed out how protests are met with the violence of the state, and your response was “it’s not easy”
How else could one interpret that?
He’s a whiny liberal and needs to stfu and let the left get shit done.
You liberals had fucking decades to fix this with your incremental bullshit means tested reforms. You failed. Miserably.
You are the finest example of the American typical citizen who acts like a frog… You let the media dictate your actions instead of using your own intelligence… It’s a pity…
So two things.
First off, tell them, not me.
Second, we want to make them think about their opinion so that they can see that they’re wrong. If you’re combative like in your comment above, they’re just going to dismiss you as an asshole and not listen to the point you’re trying to make.
