People have always glorified and idolized murderers from Ted Bundy to Jeffrey Dahmer, and it's still happening, but at least people are glorifying and idolizing a person who murdered a horrible person this time.

This Josh Johnson comedy show mostly about the UHC murder and Luigi is hilarious. #UHC #luigimangione #Comedy

I'm generally wary of hero-worship, but I'll make a huge exception in the case of #LuigiMangione. We need to normalize the decisive action he took and make it absolutely clear that choosing targets like #unitedhealthcare will win you universal praise.

Stop talking about Biden or Trump or whoever. Keep talking about Luigi.

In what authorities say was a possible UnitedHealthcare copy cat, Anderson Express Inc CEO Erik Denslow is in critical condition after being stabbed by a new hire at a mtg.

The assailant Nathan Mahoney was hired to a key position 2 weeks ago and was expected to take over a retiring senior employee's role.

The firm, Andsrson Express Inc, is a tier one supplier into the US and Israeli military industrial complex.

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.

I've been digging into ABA, from the provider perspective; i.e. people who administer or oversee the treatment modality, from the research perspective, i.e., what is it *supposed* to, or purportedly does for the autistic person, and from the perspective of autistic people who have experienced the treatment.

I will grant that my perspective may have been colored by stories people have shared with me, but as a bioethicist, I'm not sure how this became the *gold standard* of treatment, and I am suspicious that profit was more of a driver than efficacy.

That said; #UHC wouldn't cover any therapy for my kid when she refused ABA. They wouldn't cover a neuropyschologist to evaluate and recommend a different kind of therapist for her.

So, they won't pay for ABA. They won't pay for *not* ABA.
Ergo, I think we can safely conclude that they're just not going to pay to help autistic people.

The man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare’s CEO has been charged with murder as an act of terrorism, prosecutors said Tuesday as they worked to bring him to a New York court from from a Pennsylvania jail.

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.

#UnitedHealth Is Strategically Limiting Access to Critical Treatment for Kids With #Autism

Reporting Highlights

Secret Playbook: Leaked documents show that UnitedHealth is aggressively targeting the treatment of thousands of children with autism across the country in an effort to cut costs.

Critical Therapy: Applied behavior analysis has been shown to help kids with autism; many are covered by Medicaid, federal insurance for poor and vulnerable patients.

Legal Questions: Advocates told ProPublica the insurer’s strategy may be violating federal law.

#UHC are fucking monsters, and if I had the power to strip the wealth from them and give it to these families, I would do it without question.

#Propublica is the best news org speaking truth to power. If you’ve got some spare change, consider supporting them.

"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!

I guess "you're next" pushed it over the top. Probably wasn't necessary to add that. Sometimes a little subtlety is a good thing.

#McSnitch #CEO #UHC
Force-dowloading this from Tiktok via Torbrowser and an extension worked. Reuploading here.

This looks like someone rather sloppy found a Nancy Parker who is NOT the McSnitch, I do not have the skills to determine whether this means another Nancy Parker did in fact work at that McD's or the McSnitch has another name. SOMEONE at that McD's snitched, we do need to find them whatever their name.

So far, nobody has denied the snitch is someone who worked at that McDonald's. If they have been fired and McD's has scrubbed their records people are going to have to work fast to find them before the trail goes cold.

If they cannot be found, that McDonalds or even the entire McDonald's chain can "do their time for them" so to speak. They too have a CEO and losing a shitload of money to a social media guillotine is something they won't soon forget.

#unitedhealthcare #uhc #luigimangione

Watching the #media slice up their #luigimangione story and coat each morsel with the slick veneer of #propaganda their corporate interest groups require them to instill really saddens me at the loss of the boring news coverage of my youth.

Maybe it's not propagandized and it's just my extremely jaded, cynical view of the world, but it really reads that way.

The articles from the main sites, the CNNs, MSNBCs, etc. all are focusing on how his family has money, how he comes from privilege, how he went to great schools.

All I see is them trying to make him unlikable.

Look at the first round of reporting. I don't think they knew what to make of the public response that not only didn't balk at him shooting a #ceo but full-on praised him and attacked #uhc broadly and #brianthompson specifically for contributing to the deaths of so many thousands.

It just...it feels like we responded differently than the media parent companies wanted us to respond, and so now they're ratcheting up rhetoric to steer that emotional response back to where they want it to be.

Like I said though, that just might be me looking at all of this through an extremely jaded lens. If I hadn't been the one writing this I feel like I'd be inclined to dismiss it as just another old white dude on the internet with conspiracy theories. Certainly no judgement on my part if you dismiss this as I *am* just another old white dude on the Internet.

But damn...it just feels manipulative and try as I might, I can't shake the feeling that it's all intentional because folks responded in an unplanned way. I'm curious if I'm not the only one seeing it that way.

"Project 2025 has called for making #MedicareAdvantage—the privatized Medicare in which #UnitedHealth specializes—the default enrollment option for #Medicare. This would essentially privatize Medicare for the 66 million people who use it, but since Medicare Advantage costs taxpayers about 6% more than Medicare, this would not create the savings Musk is supposed to be finding."

#UHC

The fact mainstream #media almost exclusively reports on the #UHC murder investigation but little on the public being pleased is such a HUGE failing. I’ve seen maybe one article on the matter. Seriously, our #healthcare is so broken that the public applauds a CEO’s death and the media is so lacking that they’d produce more #nothingburger articles on minor updates than dig deeper into the reaction.
#news #isitjustme

NYPD geniuses in that ABC story I boosted: "They are checking every dispute or contested denial of service brought against the company, as well as running down every threat made against the UnitedHealthcare CEO."

I mean. Sure. They are checking every denial.

Sure. We believe you.

The #media these days: «why killing the ultra-rich responsible for your malaise is bad, actually (sponsored content)»

There is the possibility that the UHC CEO execution was in fact the first shot of the Second Civil War. If rhis is so and more CEO's get taken out, this is not the civil war Trump has been preparing to fight.

CEO's and billionaires being hunted down in the streets as tens of millions cheer is a totally different alignment of forces than the racial and religious war Trump had in mind.

While this incident may have been a one-off, there's no guarantee of that and the wave of support the shooter has earned make follow-up actions more likely. If that happens the moment becomes a movement.

The Class War is now two-sided if nothing else. Punish one, instruct a hundred...

Is it a coincidence that social murder, done from afar with clean soft hands, for the profit of corporations, is legal and rewarded. But murder by direct application of one's own hands is illegal. Bourgeois murder is not punished — indeed, is not even considered murder. Working class murder is murder and punished by the state. Wholesale social murder as against retail personal murder.

#UHC

The health insurance industry is a violent crime syndicate.

#CEO #UHC

Here's my experience with Medicare, which is single-payer health insurance in the US for seniors and disabled people: I got diagnosed with a condition that has expensive immunotherapy on the Medicare formulary as the first-line treatment.

My doc prescribed it and Medicare pays for it.

That's it.

The propaganda against Medicare is so strong because UHC and the like make tens of billions of dollars denying care like mine.
