The man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare's CEO has been charged with murder as an act of terrorism. The killing kindled a fiery outpouring of resentment toward U.S. health insurance companies. Greg Shaw, author of "The Dysfunctional Politics of the Affordable Care Act", says that private healthcare providers are paid through government systems that have very little ability to put downward pressure on prices.

The reaction to the killing of a US healthcare CEO shows the rage and frustration boiling beneath the surface in countries that have for-profit or privatized health care. For-profit is not working, why not try for-well-being? #healthcare #LuigiMangione #capitalism


Bird Flu jumps from Birds to Human in Louisiana [Patient hospitalized].

It is the first human H5N1 case detected in Louisiana. For now, the case is considered a "presumptive" positive until testing is confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Health officials says “caution people to stay away from any sick or dead birds”.

A person in Louisiana is hospitalized with H5N1 bird flu after having contact with sick and dying birds suspected of carrying the virus.

Although the person has been hospitalized, their condition was not immediately reported. It's also unclear what kind of birds the person had contact with [wild, backyard or commercial birds]. Ars has reached out to Louisiana's health department and will update this piece with any additional information.

To date, at least 845 herds across 16 states have contracted the virus since March, including 630 in California, which detected its first dairy infections in late August.

At least 60 people in the US have been infected amid the viral spread this year. But the new case in Louisiana stands out. To date, nearly all of the human cases have been among poultry and dairy workers [unlike the new case in Louisiana] and almost all have been mild [also unlike the new case]. Most of the cases have involved conjunctivitis [pink eye] and/or mild respiratory and flu-like symptoms.

"As health insurance companies continue to use AI to help save money—and employ heinous tactics like denying care because an algorithm has calculated the person will die before the insurer is forced to pay out—we’re watching the complete dehumanization of people through the eyes of the health care system in real time.

The tragedy of Thompson’s death is a stark reminder of how broken our system has become—not just for the millions of Americans who are denied care each year, but also for the executives who run these companies and are so far removed from the people they are supposed to be helping. Artificial intelligence will be revolutionary in health care, no question; it will help diagnose diseases earlier, develop lifesaving treatments, and make medical care more accessible to people around the globe. But as with all technologies, AI is being weaponized as yet another tool to maximize profits at the expense of human lives. What else should we expect from an industry that doesn’t think of people as people, but rather as numbers on a spreadsheet?"

It's not primarily #TheAdjuster himself that the #left needs to build #solidarity with. It's the people who see what The Adjuster did and why, and are starting to develop #seeds of #ClassConsciousness as it hits a nerve in their own lives. Huge swaths of the #USA are more openly pissed at #healthcare #insurance #CEOs than ever before, and for good reason. That's a critical #potentiality.

For the record, though, I'm not 100% convinced it was #LuigiMangione.


When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied.

You have a right to see this file.

Y’all, not only are people being arrested nonsensically for terrorism because the healthcare industry suddenly realized that if you kick a dog enough, eventually it will bite you, apparently they’ve decided that the public should not have facts or data that may lead them to understand how badly the insurance industry is managing the health of Americans.

ValuePenguin, a data collection and analysis site, is the origin of the viral chart showing denial rates of claims to insurance. They were first contacted by a company who wanted them to take data down, then when they didn’t, law enforcement showed up.

Just in case you were wondering who controls the cops...it’s the capital class.

Here’s a deep dive into how insurance companies hide and prevaricate their data, so that people don’t realize what crooks they all are.

“A Manifesto Against For-Profit Health Insurance Companies — by Michael Moore”

“Here is Michael Moore at his best slamming back at the wealthy corporate leeches ... plus you can watch his excellent film "Sicko" for free. His comments on Luigi Mangione's manifesto is excellent.”

"Elites are reportedly ramping up security in the aftermath of the shooting of #UnitedHealthcare’s CEO. They’re especially fearful of copycats following widespread praise for #LuigiMangione online. In this video we’ll discuss 'fear in the C-Suite' and talk about why American anger is at an all-time high." https://youtu.be/UiW-LD50xD8 #HealthCare #MedicaidForAll #HealthInsurance #Millionaires #Billionaires


Americans are furious over health care. Is this an Occupy Wall Street moment?

@npr reports: "It's been a week since UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed in Manhattan. That shocking, targeted killing has also sparked a reckoning over the business he ran, in a country that has the most expensive health care in the world."

Doctors seethe over insurance cos. “out of control” tactics. Revenues at United Healthcare exceeded $370 BILLION last yr.

“They have so much power, they are out of control. They believe they are untouchable.”

It's really disturbing how people can lose their humanity and threaten you just because you *checks notes* sentenced their child to death.

One former Cigna executive recalled how the US health insurer used to frequently face threats when claims were denied. “We'd have times when you'd deny proton laser therapy for a kid with seizures and the parent wouldfreak out," said the former executive.

Another industry executive said: "What's most disturbing is the ability of people to hide behind their keyboards and lose their humanity."

The fact that #LuigiMangione could be an easy scapegoat doesn't invalidate the #meme wave against private #healthcare.

Are combined spinal-epidurals better than labour epidurals?

Are anaesthetists who do not universally adopt CSEs disadvantaging patients?

Universal use of CSE would likely:
⬆️ burden of PDPH morbidity
⬆️ risk of fetal bradycardia & maternal pruritus

"I don't want people to kill insurance executives, and I don't want insurance executives to kill people. But I am unsurprised that this happened. Indeed, I'm surprised that it took so long. It should not be controversial to note that if you run an institution that makes people furious, they will eventually become furious with you. This is the entire pitch of Thomas Piketty's Capital in the 21st Century: that wealth concentration leads to corruption, which is destabilizing, and in the long run it's cheaper to run a fair society than it is to pay for the guards you'll need to keep the guillotines off your lawn:"
