Well, duh. But at least there’s some main stream coverage of that angle.
Less ignition and more stoking of an already burning fire.
Corporate media blaming the victims again for the actions of corporate insurance
I think we need to make sure everyone in America is aware of jury nullification.
Frankly, I think everyone in New York City had better understand that if they convict this guy that they’re next on the list.
Not that I’m happy about that, but forcing a guilty verdict here is just gonna throw their lives into turmoil, even if it’s not something they want.
Trying to put a lid on this to maintain order is only going to give others the push they need to follow suit; the only way to handle this properly is to start passing laws banning the kinds of behavior these insurance companies continue to engage in (while simultaneously prosecuting the murder, because no one’s going to weigh the specifics when they decide that it’s open season on anyone that made them suffer).
And, of course, if the jury says not guilty, let it go.
No: The behavior of the health insurance companies is what ignites anger. Maybe a better way to put it would be, “pours gasoline on to the fire.”
Kevin Gade, COO at investment firm Bahl & Gaynor, which owns about 2.6% of UnitedHealth shares, said companies like UnitedHealth play an important role in providing critical and needed care for all patients within an inefficient U.S. healthcare system that needs to evolve.
Kevin Gade left out the important part, it’s the bullshit insurance companies that make the system inefficient. There is literally no role, critical or otherwise, for Insurance companies when it comes to matters of healthcare. Why do I need to talk to an insurance company? Let my doctor, the hospital, and myself make those decisions. Not some Executive Oligarch on the quest for more money.
Single-payer, government run healthcare is protection for the people, and therefore, democracy.
Government is supposed to be the insurance company we all invest in to guarantee the continuation of civilization in a way that benefits us all.
Demand the end of private health insurance and eliminate biased access to medical care.
