The real problem is that like everything else, America has turned healthcare into a for-profit industry. Of course healthcare insurance execs are gonna prioritize profit over everything else. That's what Corporate America does duh. The fact that we don't have universal healthcare is crazy.


capitalism is an ever starving beast.

you have to completely annihilate it completely and rebuild aa different market economic system based in minimization of exploitation over profit gain motives.


:yeshrug: Capitalists know that


Thats why they are deathly afraid of anti capitalist maneuvers in speech or action

Again, you're missing my point entirely, but you value spectacle over substance.
A spectacle(man getting blammed)

Led to a substantial change( horrible policy not being put in place)

And if you're black, you should already be aware of racism in the medical industry and how med insurance companies assume we don't feel as much pain so they don't want to cover more expensive but more effective pain medication.

Like what are you even arguing here? The status quo was fine? Other avenues were tried and they failed. People try to sue the companies and they win because they have more money for lawyers. They elect officials who will fight for them, but the opposition gets health insurance lobby money and they vote against proposed legislation. People protest and they get ignored. What the fukk is left for them to do? Just accept a status quo that even a country to the north of us doesn't?

You're putting words in my mouth and word salading when I already spoke my peace.
You're missing the point, but let me be clear: I understand the point of why people are cheering on the kid for killing the CEO, I just don't have to dikk ride like it'll mean anything in the long haul.

Because it won't.

My bad, I assumed you actually wanted to contribute to the discussion of the topic as a whole instead of trying to extinguish what little optimism people are feeling.

Carry on :ehh:

Americans voted for the guy who wants to gut Obamacare entirely just last month
That's the closest America will ever get to Universal Healthcare
But you want me to believe these same people hate these execs and want them dead?
Healthcare for profit is evil and Luigi is a hero?
They voted for the guy who wants to privatize VA benefits for laughs and giggles?

Nah

Violence has its place

people need to make it clear we need better health care that costs less and that won't take no for an answer any longer

the public anger is there, it's inescapable online and it isn't just leftists or whatever saying it

I saw some article trying to smear the killer and his family earlier and people in the comments section weren't having it

how much do y'all americans pay on avg for health insurance? And is it mandatory?

I’m a business owner. I pay $500 a month for one person. :sadcam:

It kills me knowing these middle man a$$holes keep 20% of my premiums for themselves and the rest goes in a pool for actual services. Medicare is able to do what these insurance companies do for 1.5%.

Healthcare insurance is a mafia racket.

Toooooo federal, i will say i wish the shooter didnt have mein keimpf on his reading wish list.
I've read mein kampf. At least a good chunk of it. A lot of people who have the opposite belief have read it. Because you need to understand your enemy to defeat him. I actually encourage people to read the opposing side rhetoric to some extent. More of their intellectual thoughts and writings instead of something like storm front or the mindless riff raff level opponents. Read the political strategy of the agenda setters like you would study your enemy's war strategy.

I 100% agree with that, just feel uneasy with giving an unhinged cracker too many props.

If America was a people society these CEOs would be ducking shells daily
