Seems like the other way around. The people paid their bills only for the services not to be rendered.
quote:And who made them pick UHC? It's not like UHC is some unknown in the market. They're famous for being difficult to pay claims. So anyone buying their insurance... got what they bought.
At double the market average mind you.

It does for insurance
Ah yes the purest, most ideal price finding mechanism known to man… the health insurance industry… where the cost of the underlying service is hidden from you until after you’ve received it.

I suspect he didnt die bc the gunman wanted unlimited access to other people’s money.

100% result of third-party payers. Posted on 12/5/24 at 10:38 am to Flats

You're better than that.
So I'm clear -
Better than to think it's ever okay to murder someone?
Or, better than to think anybody would disapprove of Mayorkas being assassinated?

Im not saying he deserved it, but he certainly invited it.

Better than using an appeal to ridicule with language like "tied up in knots". Nobody, I'm pretty sure, is tied up in knots or clutching their pearls because some stranger they've never heard of prior to now got shot in NY.
This topic is about the reaction to the murder, not the murder. We had a similar event with Trump's attempted assassination, and without looking I've got a pretty good idea what most of the reactions on this forum were to the left shrugging off, minimizing or outright defending the attempt. And the left used very similar if not identical justifications that I'm reading here.

Depending on where you live, 3-4 days without utilities.

Really? You can't come up with any other method of expressing your anger than killing a CEO? Nothing else comes to mind?
You know of another effective method? I'm all ears.

Then why do people have a problem with a greedy CEO?
Because their greed affects millions. Duh

That's murder.
I'm not saying it's not. I am painting a picture of how someone who is only concerned about themselves and their family could justify to themselves that they should kill "greedy" CEO of a company who they feel hurt one of theirs

Great, so we can stop pretending that the CEO was "greedy" or evil. He's exactly like you and the person I initially responded to.
Now do you need finger paints to understand that point?
You asked how someone only concerned with themselves could hate the CEO and want him dead. I gave, other than the insider trading part of it or sleeping with someone's wife, the most plausible scenario of that.

Not true at all.

Buy another insurance provider or murder the CEO.
You choose murder instead of the free market. You are the definition of communism

Well, to be quite honest, insurance is nothing but theft.
Then don't buy it.
Don't be obtuse. You know people have no choice unless the rules of the game are changed drastically.

You did, you just can't see it or you enjoy being painted into a corner.
How people can be concerned with their own (greed), and be mad at someone else's "greed" to protect their own?
I gave you a specific example of how that can happen.
Bridge is still there buddy, walk the path
