She took two master’s degrees off her CV to get hired for a university job she was overqualified for, accepting a hefty career downgrade as well as a substantial pay cut she never made up again. “I know a lot of people who have wrecked their careers in this way – just to get health insurance,” she said.

"Believing the health insurance industry is at least partly responsible for the murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO is not some fringe position. 69 percent of Americans say health insurance claim denials had “a great deal” or “moderate amount” of responsibility for the killing of CEO Brian Thompson, according to a new poll conducted by NORC at University of Chicago. Nearly as many (67 percent) blamed health insurance company profits.

The poll also captures a nuance that’s sorely lacking in major media coverage, which tends to collapse the issue into two camps: those who condemn the murder vs. those who support it. That kind of two-sizes-fits-all framing leaves no room for the view that both the shooter and the healthcare industry share responsibility for the CEO’s death. NORC’s poll suggests this more nuanced attitude is in fact quite mainstream. The number of respondents who blamed the shooter wasn’t much higher (78 percent) than those who blamed health insurance claim denials (69 percent)."

"This article uses the case study of an insurance product linked to a health and wellbeing program—the Vitality scheme—as a lens to examine the limited regulation of collection and use of non-personal (de-identified/anonymised) information and the impacts it has on individuals, as well as society at large. Vitality is an incentive-based engagement program that mobilises online assessment tools, preventive health screening, and physical activity and wellness tracking through smart fitness technologies and apps. Vitality then uses the data generated through these activities, mainly in an aggregated, non-personal form, to make projections about changes in behaviour and future health outcomes, aiming at reducing risk in the context of health, life, and other insurance products. Non-personal data has been traditionally excluded from the scope of legal protections, and in particular privacy and data regimes, as it is thought not to contain information about specific, identifiable people, and thus its potential to affect individuals in any meaningful way has been understood to be minimal. However, digitalisation and ensuing ubiquitous data collection are proving these traditional assumptions wrong. We show how the response of the legal systems is limited in relation to non-personal information collection and use, and we argue that irrespective of the (possibly) beneficial nature of insurance innovation, the current lack of comprehensive regulation of non-personal data use potentially leads to individual, collective and societal data harms, as the example of the Vitality scheme illustrates."

The function of health insurance is to siphon money from the healthcare system. It has no other purpose and provides not a single service.

Typical from libertarians and proglibs, ENTIRELY IGNORING THE FACT that the '#prisons' #richpigs get 'incarcerated' at are in reality Country Clubs. #China and #Vietnam have the right idea. Legal EXECUTION. Legally execute JUST ONE Western #Billionaires, and they'll ALL line up.

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

I hereby give you my Oscar-nominated Documentary on the Killer Health Insurance companies like United HealthCare —SICKO — for FREE… and let’s end and replace this so-called “health care system” NOW.

"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?"

Michael Moore defends anger targeted at medical insurers after UnitedHealthcare CEO killing


"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


"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!

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

#DeadCEOGoodCEO #unitedhealthcare #brianthompson #healthinsurance #healthcare
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."


We KNOW they're in abject terror, because that ONE THING their #RichPigs bffs fear, just came true.

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?

lol even the petty little far right bootlickers at the New York Post (I’m not linking to it) can’t stop themselves from saying “where’s the lie” with a couple paragraphs
The alleged manifesto included raging remarks about “parasitic” health insurance companies and expressed disdain for corporate greed and power, according to law enforcement sources.

He allegedly also wrote that the US has the most expensive healthcare system in the world and that profits of major corporations continue to rise while “our life expectancy” does not.

I find that Cory Doctorow’s thread on the insurance health is very thoughtful and reflect much of what I think as well.

I hope the public focus on the cruelty of our health insurance system stays.

"Following the murder of its CEO on Wednesday morning, #UnitedHealthcare removed a page from its website listing the rest of its executive leadership, and several other health insurance companies have done the same, hiding the names and photos of their executives from easy public access."
