Late Stage Capitalism

This confirms one Luigi isn't enough

Correction: they are a cancer on US society. The rest of us have universal healthcare

For-profit health care is grotesque

if a company put obscene profits before my treatment and I'm slowly dying in pain and fear then so are the ghouls who decided that money was more important than my treatment.

What have I got to lose?
Prison, I'll be dead before that happens.
Death sentence? I've already got one, thanks.
Damnation in hell? If there is a god and heaven then I'm pretty sure I'd be going up there if I take out a few billionaires. I have nothing to lose, they have everything.

I seem to recall they started paying more claims after a certain CEO of theirs was gunned down in the street.

Heartbreaking: man diagnosed with UnitedHealthcare

You have a terminal diagnosis, regardless of your choice you will die. However if you pull the lever for a brief moment tens thousands of people will be given a better chance to live before the trolley returns to the mainline and the cycle begins again.

Do a Luigi.

Luigi Mangione sacrificed so much for essentially so little, just heads on a hydra for a complacent populace still asleep at the wheel. What the fuck.

I guess they didn't learn and someone needs to kill their CEO again

I'm not american (thankfully). But if I were, and I had a terminal illness, I'd suicide bomb a health insurance headquarters on my way out. Because fuck it...I'm dead anyway.

Cancer isn't killing you to save money.

Luigi saved many lives. More people need to live up to the example set by one of our greatest heros

Two months now waiting for them to "pre-approve" a cheap calcium score test the doctor wants me to get (high cholesterol since forever, no symptoms no family history of stroke or heart attack so no way to know whether to bother treating it without looking). The lab has rescheduled it thrice now.

Which makes zero sense because finding out with what the doctors call a primary cardiac event would be exponentially more expensive for them.

As someone that works tangentially to healthcare c-suites, they were scared of Mr Mangione.

It is not just the people dying who suffer. I had shoulder surgery, and need physical therapy. I have used up the thirty visits my insurance covers. I still have chronic pain and range of motion limitations. I do the exercises at home, but the therapists would do manipulations and supervise progress when I was able to go. I probably won't ever fully recover.

Idiots in charge still oppose socialized medicine. I'd like them all to bleed out from an untreatable hemorrhoid infection.
