"Thompson, who became C.E.O. in 2021, increased UnitedHealthcare’s profits by five billion dollars in just two years. Between 2019 and 2022, #UnitedHealthcare more than doubled its denial rate for prior-authorization requests for post-acute care. One of Thompson’s signature innovations was to use a predictive algorithm to kick ailing and disabled #Medicare patients out of nursing homes and rehabilitative programs, causing untold misery and penury."

"Navigating The American Healthcare System" - South Park

This would be funny but it's a pretty accurate description of how private #HealthInsurance works in the US today.

The oldest trick in the book... make people "stand in line" long enough and they'll drop out or just go away. I used to tell my Medical Students "Insurance Companies are in the business of denying care."

I was once put on hold for 40 minutes only to have the "medical director" read my own chart back to me. The denial was reversed based on documentation they already had... the entire exercise was INTENDED to waste my time!

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."

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."

A recorded voice message to a friend after a hike through Japan's mountain ranges would be one of Luigi Mangione's last communications before he abruptly cut ties with a wide range of friends and family, who set out on a desperate hunt to track him down. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/12/13/world/crime-legal/unitedhealth-shooting-new-details/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #crimelegal #unitedhealthcare #insurance #us #japan


But Maria, why do you think that Luigi Mangione is just a fall guy? I mean, who doesn’t put ALL of the evidence in a new backpack, and then go to McDonald’s to work on their manifesto? Pfff.

Is Luigi Mangione suffering from #ChronicPain-induced #psychosis?

Chronic pain does not cause #psychosis in the vast majority of #patients, but research shows chronic back pain patients have a 2.6x higher rate of developing it.

In a Reddit group focused on brain fog, Mangione wrote, “The people around you probably won’t understand your symptoms — they certainly don’t for me.”

Now that Capitalism is aware the share price can be affected by a very public assassination, will we watch them screw each other over for a percentage?

Late Stage Capitalism eating itself, become the 80s cyberpunk novel it so desperately wants to be.

You don't have to be a customer of any 'plan' to hate the #HealthInsurance industry. Have they even publicly shown that #luigimangione was, or even 'could have been', at the scene of the crime?

#Snopes is a little slow on the #UnitedHealthcare memes and quotes.
No info for this quote at all;

“We will continue to guard against unnecessary care.”~Andrew Witty, CEO of UnitedHealthCare Group

#LuigiMangione, #TheAuditor, is a hero behind bars for the #DeadCEOGoodCEO #UnitedHealthCare #BrianThompson snuffing. His lawyer says he's already receiving offers to pay ALL LEGAL FEES.

"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:"

#BrianThomson of #UnitedHealthCare was 50 years old and already accumulated $43 million in wealth and was earning $10 million a year. What was important to such a CEO was blocking the pay raises of employees in Minnesota. What was important was blocking the claims of customers to maintain his #EgoManiaUSA society of $43 million at age 50.

A cartoon exposing the double standards of murder under capitalism. On top it is mentioned as murder when stranger kills CEO and on the bottom it is mentioned as Legal murder when life saving meds claims of working class insurance claims are rejected heartlessly by insurance agencies


Since Luigi Mangione was charged with murder for gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, more than a thousand donations have poured into an online fundraiser for his legal defense, with messages supporting him and even celebrating the crime. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/12/12/world/crime-legal/luigi-mangione-donations-unitedhealth/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #crimelegal #unitedhealthcare #insurance #us


If you wanted to know what modern fear mongering propaganda looks like. Thanks for the example @newyorktimes

I would not be surprised if more health insurance workers have died in the last year from untreated conditions than bullets.

NY Times article headline 
"
Health Insurance Workers Fearful Amid Public Anger After Slaying of C.E.O.

Employees at UnitedHealthcare and other companies described being anxious after an outpouring of online vitriol."


It’s remarkable to me that nobody in any of the “journalism” I’ve seen covering the assassination of CEO whatshisname can bring themselves to say what the majority of us are surely thinking in one form or another. This apparently unspeakable thing being that we’re all really quite sick of capitalism and the wealthy elites who perpetuate its existence. #unitedhealthcare #luigimangione #capitalism

Yet another "this is objectively bad BUT" type posts, sorry.

I get the discussions about how people should have empathy (broadly) in regards to the #CEO murder.

But I'd argue they DO. It's actually competing empathy (like the wolves inside). We have decades of being fucked by health insurers - both direct and indirect experience - built up and weighed in the instantaneous reaction against the idea of being murdered in the street.

So it's complicated.
