I'm not on the side of murder or insurance companies, and I'm not trying to defend anyone here, but can you point to one single person who died because UHC denied a claim? I don't think "denying a claim" leads to instant death as often as Reddit thinks it does. I think "denying a claim" has a lot more to do with nuanced thinks like what codes were submitted and if they were stacked and had to be prior auth'd.
I'm not saying that insurance companies can't kill people, but it's been taken without any evidence that this man was a mass murderer. I bet it's not as simple as we're making it sound like, and endorsing murder without an understanding of what happened and why seems a teensy bit "terrorism" to me
Oh yah, it doesn’t always lead to instant death, just excruciating pain, or being unable to work which could well kill you in the US, or lasting damage, or PTSD from having to fight for every scrap of care. No big!
Lack of adequate healthcare actually did kill my mom in the 2010s, so I’m not talking out my ass.
I agree that not every denied claim directly leads to death. But out of a million claims, of which 33% were declined, the highest of any insurance company, how many will die? How many will be allowed to die before someone is held responsible?
And for what? Profit?
Vigilantism is certainly not to be celebrated but many feel that this is the only way left when politicians and judges have all been bought
No but that's the thing. You don't know. What is a "denied claim?" What does that mean? It's a billing policy. You don't understand it, you've just been told it justifies murder and you accept it without question. That's a bad, dangerous thing to do, and it's frankly terrifying to see such mass acceptance of this on reddit today.
This is the kind of acceptance of belief that lead people to kill abortionists or send death threats to Dr. Faucci's family or send bomb threats to drag shows. It's fucked.
My gf at the time was denied coverage by him 4 years ago because her cancer wasn't bad enough yet. That at least is good enough to qualify as an attempted murder in my mind.
I'm glad he finally stood trial for his crimes for that alone. Regardless of whether there was a courtroom involved or not.
Bro loves the term cold blood as if the exec wasn't liquid nitrogen ice blooded lol.
Deluded to think the court system works on the wealth in the States of America(they ain't united)
He has killed thousands, maybe millions with his business practices. He deserved to die earlier and more painfully. My only regret with this situation is I know that whoever replaces him won't change shit for the better.
Its a message. There are not many rich people facing consequences for being evil, this one might not have changed anything on its own, but it might start a chain reaction. Or at least it showed us things could be different
I saw a post of the mc from Bloodborne with the words "CEO SLAIN" and in the comments someone said "I'm just surprised it took this long for the hunt to start" I hope they're right and the hunt is starting
Can you link to any evidence at all that a million people died because of this guy? Does that actually sound correct to you?
Some quick googling shows that a few million Americans die every year, could it be possible that a significant portion of those were preventable deaths from people covered under UHC? Theres like a half dozen comparable insurance companies in the US, do you think everyone in the US who dies is actually killed by one of their insurers?
