a meticulously crafted email that UHC will promptly and carefully deliver directly to their recycle bin
I heard someone hand delivered the messages in the form of bullet casings to the CEO, hopefully they got the message
I'm sure there's nothing but the message in their head now.
So aim lower, and en masse…
or aim higher like someone famously did a day or two ago.
I made a giant collection of screenshots from Facebook of people who got denied coverage by them.
Great work, B’oon
Also - removing Zuckerberg’s lil spyware from the URL:
This is fantastic, thank you. Going to hammer this home to anyone who makes even a whiff of disapproval over that bastard's killing.
I get the feeling the doctor was holding back when they wrote this.
He didn't have permission to vomit. Had to hold back
It's way more professional than I could manage under the circumstances.
implying you'll be on camera the entire time you work after training. don't just treat their customers like garbage, that apparently extends to their employees too (not that i'm suprised tbf)
btw, the NHS in the UK offers a cautionary tale. Once it was a beacon of universal care. But look at how the decades of privatization have chipped away at its promise. Even now, UK workers defend it against the creeping tide of market logic, which has not ceased under Starmer because warfare matters more than healthcare to them.
It's absolutely clear: systems run for the many must remain in the hands of the many. This fight really requires worker control—why should administrators and profiteers dictate care when the expertise and needs of frontline medical workers and patients could lead?
Even if a mass movement for universal healthcare is born and somehow the government with both parties being virtually on the insurance profiteers' payslip somehow concedes, it will be immediately subject to sabotage.
And then the billionaire media would point a finger at the alleged inefficiency of "public services", all while it is implemented in a way where it isn't at the expense of
- the military-industrial complex
- the wealth of the mega-rich and their corporations' profits
so if not that, then it'd be financed at the expense of the already ballooning public debt, which would then be paid in austerity.
If universal healthcare is to succeed in the U.S., it must be accompanied by bold economic realignments: ending absurd military expenditures, expropriating billionaires and putting critical industries under public and worker control. Otherwise, the promise of care for all will collapse under the weight of contradictions, and the media will be more than happy to point fingers at "socialist inefficiency" while the real culprits—corporate greed and the war machine—walk away unscathed.
Yes, it's ultimately a cautionary tale as to why social democracy is unsustainable, as it is just the implementation of social policies while maintaining capitalist hegemony. There is no such thing as a benevolent oligarch. Capitalists have utilitarian reasons to implement pro-worker social policies, and it's usually to reduce unrest or increase productivity. The moment those reasons no longer become relevant, they will begin to dismantle it. Much of western Europe in general right now is suffering from nonstop austerity for a long time now.

There's something Emiliano Zapata famously said about the bad government: "if there's no justice for the people, let there not be peace for the government". And yes, these men, if you can call them that, govern the American people.
Wish doctors would deny health insurance CEOs all the same things they deny us.
I would be skeptical of this, I haven't been able to find a source for it and most of its seems written in a way that creates the strongest emotional reaction in laypeople who don't know much about health insurance or chemo (e.g: me)
Yeah, this seems fake. A person with a doctorate would use stronger language than "you poopy buttheads". They likely just googled the founder of chemo and called it good.
i just wish they'd be willing to go on strike over it. a lot of them are unionized.
