Summary

Rising frustrations with the U.S. healthcare system have been amplified by increasing insurance claim denials and mounting costs.

Patients report prolonged battles to access doctor-recommended care, with surveys showing one in five privately insured Americans faced denial in 2022.

Anger has intensified following the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, spotlighting issues like AI-based claim reviews and profit-driven practices.

While Trump’s upcoming administration proposes deregulation and privatization, critics warn this could worsen access.

Public distrust persists, but significant reforms appear unlikely as partisan debates stall progress in Washington.

    along with that manifesto

    How did they write a manifesto in his handwriting?

    And if it’s not in his handwriting, why bother to plant something that would actually hurt the prosecution? No cop wants to cause an “OJ glove” moment, where defense lawyers easily convince the jury that evidence was planted.

      As long as they had a sample of his hand writing, which wouldn’t be too hard to get, it would be easy enough to take. Discrepancies could be blamed on his back injury. Any police officer can pull up drivers license records, and those usually have a signature in them. You could extrapolate a handwriting style just from a signature. Or maybe it’s just in block lettering so hand writing is less distinctive.

      And again, we’re dealing with a department that has literally been caught on camera planting evidence on people. They’re not exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer.
