SHOCK POLL: Mangione Alleged Killing of Healthcare CEO Is ACCEPTABLE To 41% of Youth; Robby Soave

The real shock thing is the number of _people_ (maybe bots) who actually think the CEO personally rejects claims.

[@utah_koidragon7117]

@@Kehvan Nobody thinks that. We think that the CEO is ultimately responsible for the policies of his company, and we think when his company has a significantly higher than average rejection rate, it's because of policies and directives that he gave. But I guess your position is that he was paid millions of dollars per year without actually making any decisions or having any responsibility.

[@kevin6293]

Is it illegal for insurance companies to deny claims that will result in the deletion of a person? Is that in the Affordable Care Act?

[@mishakafaka6180]

We don't, you pass the ACA, then the customer doesn't matter, only the relationship between the company and the government matter. Don't you remember when Ron Paul was warning us 15 years ago this would happen?

[@utah_koidragon7117]

@@mishakafaka6180 Yeah, I remember how the ACA was passed. I remember how the insurance companies had a very large hand in writing it, I remember opposing it strenuously, I remember Roberts upholding it for political reasons, and I remember the Republican House and Senate doing nothing to overturn it when they had the chance. None of that absolves the industry executives of responsibility. The state of healthcare and insurance is EXACTLY what they wanted and lobbied for.

CNN anchors covered the assassination of Igor Kirillov with barely hidden smirks of joy, after which British Prime Minister Starmer said the UK "would not mourn because Kirillov had inflicted pain and suffering on the Ukrainian people." The degree and direction to which some actions affect you depends on your perspective. Not defending either; just drawing comparisons.

Robbie, Mangioni’s action possibly did save people. Anthem was going through with a plan to cancel coverage for people under anesthesia going past a certain time period. That was going to financially ruin people who need surgery but can’t afford it or can’t afford to take the risk and suffer. After the shooting, Anthem decided to cancel it as a response.

Universal health care, social security, welfare, and other social safety nets arent nanny state programs, despite what shapiro tells you.
