US Healthcare CEO Murdered - Please read mod note at OP

Talk about a strawman..

The example you gave is nothing to do with the man who was murdered by the way..

Name is out there now as well. 26 year old Italian American Ivy League graduate.

He has this X-ray as part of his banner on his twitter profile

Apparently the gun is a ghost gun

they may actually find it very difficult to gain further employment under such conditions, especially if they are in their senior years of employment, and what happens if they still have significant responsibilities such as debt repayments, mortgage etc, and other dependents?

People should be able to do 2 things at the same time.

1. Utterly condemn this murder, unequivocally
2. Question the state of the US health and insurance industry.

What we are seeing is people gleefully dancing on the grave of a man who was murdered. Kind of sick tbh.

You don't like the man, he could have been an ass. But it doesn't matter if he was an ass, murdering him was wrong, unequivocally.

He made the police's job easy, having the gun still on him. You'd think he'd at least ditch it if he was smart.

I'm happy to condemn the murder but concur with other posters that he was a terrible human being. You don't seem to think saying the latter part out loud is okay but it doesn't amount to condoning it.

Reminded somewhat of the Shinzo Abe assassination in terms of the public mood. That one actually did lead to systemic change, I don't see anything changing in the US though.

I sincerely doubt it takes a year in Ireland. Come on.

You are correct, it doesn't take a year, it takes 5 years…

How do I know? One of my kids needed an MRI because they were born with a genetic lifelong disease. They were 3 years old at the time. The consultant stated that if you wait for it publicly you will wait for approx 5 years. Or you can pay privately, you will be waiting approx 1 year.

We went with the latter option.

In our haste to give shite to the Americans, we are seemingly blind to our own faults in providing healthcare to people.

But hey, it sure makes us feel all lovely, warm and superior, doesn't it?

Sweet baby jesus the entire point people have been making repeatedly is that having insurance in America does NOT guarantee treatment as the likes of Thompson will find an excuse to deny coverage when its needed.

He wanted to be caught.

Getting away with it isn't part of his narrative IMO.

He could have done that in NYC.

There's a big difference between bad management with overblown health administration and the purposeful wanton defrauding of the American people through sham insurance policies and the use of loopholes to deny people basic healthcare,

I'm in favour of everyone of these miscreants being executed until someone finally pays attention and starts to view shareholders as being less important than the millions of people denied payouts because of sham policies and the targeting of vulnerable people who know no better.

I hope anyone thinking of doing a mass shooting in America diverts their focus to some fat cat on too much money exploiting normal people to make millionaires richer

Does he/she deserve whatever she gets too?

An armed murderer on the run from the law and with a grudge against big corporations is standing in your branch of a very big corporation. Maybe he wants an egg McMuffin, maybe he’s going to kill someone.

I’d be phoning the police too.

Do you think McDonalds McMuffins provide health insurance?
