Funny how just killing one scared the whole lot of them. Someone bring me the heat of Jeff Bezos!

They are 100% aware of the fu*kery they bring about with their business. This is just the first time one of them was held accountable.

And judging by reactions from them, their security details has probably been adamant about how people backed into a financial corner can be. They are now seeing those birds coming home to roost.
 
Hey, if Republicans want to take us back to the Gilded Age perhaps that ought to include all the shootings and assassinations too. And with far more accurate handguns this time. :p

It was a good time for anarchists, too.

Yeah, can't do nothing about those. Just got to learn to live with them.

Guns. They ain't just for slaughtering school kids anymore.

I have probably spent 4+ hours a week, uncompensated, arguing with insurance "doctors" to get my patients standard of care. I would bet the suspect list is quite long but would bet on someone who has been denied life saving care in a purely profit motivated way.

United is one of the worst. AI will auto deny. I write a letter of medical necessity, get denied. Request "peer" to peer. For the record, I rarely talk to a doctor who has the same primary board as myself and I have never talked to someone who holds my subspecialty board. I try to embarrass them, shame them, make them feel they will personally get sued.

My favorite things to say: "Can I ask what you are boarded in so I know what level of explanation I need to use to talk about this rare disorder?" "Can I get your full name and NPI so I can be sure to accurately document in my medical record who is practicing medicine on my patient in case of lawsuit?" "As I am sure you and your company are aware of current literature, do you have a process of updating standards to be up to date with the 21st century of medicine?" "I am happy this is being recorded, and I do encourage you to release our conversation to the public to see who they side with."

One of my mentors in Cleveland would use the line "You are only denying care because this patient is black." I have not used that yet.

I hopefully won't require it but, if so, I will be plagiarizing this line.

Others that I've used:

"Have you ever actually practiced clinical medicine or did you go directly into administration?"

Me: I will be recording this conversation.
Ins: You can't do that
Me: Ever time I call your office I am told you may be recording it so I wwill be doing the same
Ins: Sorry we won't allow you to do that. We will need to reschedule this
Result: Current phone conference to get authorization for 12 cases was rescheduled at a later date with only two needing review as the other 10 were miraculously approved

Does UHG have a life insurance division? Maybe their AI system will auto-reject it.

Lmao they outsource that like everything else

ironically, I know all or most of the people that will be on the short list to replace the one who passed….and none of them have the humanity that BT had.

I’m at Allianz. A lot of lower to middle
management from United has come over the last couple years. Usually coming in as a product owner or scrum master for a project team. Many start as contractors through Turnberry, but a lot make the switch to being employed by Allianz within six months or so, if offered.
 
Online people surprisingly unwilling to help law enforcement.

“I have yet to see a single video that’s pounding the drum of ‘we have to find him,’ and that is unique,” said Michael McWhorter, better known as TizzyEnt on TikTok, where he posts true crime and viral news content for his 6.7 million followers. “And in other situations of some kind of blatant violence, I would absolutely be seeing that.”

This, of course, is very concerning:
“The surge of social media posts praising and glorifying the killing of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson is deeply concerning,” Alex Goldenberg, a senior adviser at The Network Contagion Research Institute at Rutgers University previously told NBC News.

That line stuck with me as well. (I actually enjoyed the cadence, it gave it punch, IMO)


It's my new favorite quote. Second only to "May the bridges I burn light my way forward."
