If you don’t like our healthcare or health insurance system, then you should advocate for changes in it. You should not justify murdering random people who work in the industry.

Hope that is helpful guidance for the morally bankrupt marxists who seem confused.

It wasn’t random. It was a specifically targeted hit JFK style. Random would be taking out nurses and EMTs.

Well tomorrow I plan on paying property taxes on several tracts of timberland we own. That should take me to about lunch. After that I dont have anything scheduled. I'll probably take a drive out to a logging operation that recently completed and see if they regraded the road like they were supposed to. After that I may sweep up a bit (I'm not only the CEO, I'm also the janitor when necessary). Along the way I'll try not to enrage anybody enough that they want to shoot me.

Oh and I'm sure I'll find some time to shitpost here.

Anyone have any idea what this means?

Detectives believe the gunman is not a professional killer, sources said. Bullet casings found at the scene had the words "deny," "defend" and "depose" written on them, police sources said.

Did not read the article but deny, defend, depose is a book about how and why insurance companies drag out claims in order to deny coverage.

I found it.

It is actually called "Delay, Deny, Defend".

They are also saying they have a candy wrapper, water bottle, and cell phone that belonged to the shooter.

Do you honestly believe Saudi Arabia and Belize have better hospitals, medical technology, and doctors than America?


No. The point is that their outcomes are similar.

Proving my point that their population does a hell of a lot better taking care of themselves than Americans

Yeah, no.

The job of the CEO is to execute the mission and vision of the company for its customers. Companies that focus on only making money at their customers expense don't last long.

Indeed.

Most people posting here need their ideology scrubbed, too many marxists lurking in their orbit.

You nailed it but populist dipshits will still pretend hes supposed to care about them individually.

That's a special kind of stupid.

Companies that focus on executing visions of customers or whatever at the expense of making money are even shorter lived

One typically comes before the other, but it's easy to point the finger at the bottom line if you don't look deep.

He was the subject of an insider trading investigation by the DOJ. I believe now is the time for a separate, UHC/CEO Haiku thread.

People getting MRIs and minimally invasive procedures with anesthesia because they have anxiety. So a $1000 test turns into a $5000 test

I agree that some providers perform unnecessary exams/tests, and that plays a role in high healthcare costs. That’s not what the anesthesia policy is going to affect, though. It’s going to affect more complicated procedures that run past the CMS Physician work time values which are an average time for that procedure.

I think plenty of companies have been successfully operating with poor quality, service and satisfaction for decades. For plenty of reasons, name recognition, uninformed customer base, monopolistic and niche markets etc. But a well loved good company is toast when those earnings keep looking bad. The earnings being the main thing CEO is discussing in his boardroom, not customer satisfaction

Sure, but why did the earnings go bad? Is it like Meta that continues to have declining account holders as more people realize they are the product? Or Kodak that was afraid to innovate into digital photography and put themselves out of business (even though they owned the IP for digital stuff)? The bottom line is a lagging indicator for the performance of the company.

Or maybe they personally know someone whose death was directly attributable to the warped priorities in our healthcare system.

Our current bloated healthcare system has neither price transparency nor a focus on healthcare as a public good. It simply incentivizes graft, corruption, and poor health outcomes.

They have a water bottle he bought from Starbucks that will likely give them fingerprints of the guy, as he wasn’t wearing gloves inside Starbucks. Now, he coulda wiped it down but I’m doubting he got all the fingerprints and saliva off/out of the bottle
