UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting latest: Suspect's backpack had Monopoly money: Sources
The manhunt for the suspect who killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has now entered its fourth day as authorities learn more about his movements before the attack.
You're viewing a single thread.
Meanwhile, citing the recent killing of Thompson, Centene, a major health insurer, said it would be moving its planned in-person investor day in New York City next week to virtual, according to a statement from the company on Friday. "All of us at Centene are deeply saddened by Brian Thompson's death and want to express our support for all of those affected. Health insurance is a big industry and a small community; many members of the CenTeam crossed paths with Brian during their careers," said Centene Chief Executive Officer, Sarah M. London. "He was a person with a deep sense of empathy and clear passion for improving access to care. Our hearts are with his family and his colleagues during this difficult time."
Holy yumping yimminy, their gaslighting!
He was a person with a deep sense of empathy and clear passion for improving access to care.
The more they say this shit, the more working folk wake up what this is really about.
Anyone who believes health insurance is about healthcare is deeply blessed to have not had to use it before.
It’s an industry built on denying care.
When you right wing nut friends are gloating with you as left wing nut, you know that these "leaders" fucked up big time.
I never seen such alignment within my life time.
Christmas is finally gonna be a proper family affair too!
There's actually way more agreement than people think about what's broken in society and the causes of it, at least at a surface level. The problem is our differing views on how to fix it all.
At the same time, how is it the right-wingers hate health insurance companies so much that they support the assassination of one of the CEOs... but they don't support universal health care?
Probably for the same reason a bunch of people voted to protect abortion while using the same ballot to elect the guy who got the protection taken away in the first place.
All insurance is built on denying payouts. That's the entire mechanism by which they extract profit.
You’re absolutely right.
Maybe we should have a health system based on providing a good standard of care for all our people.
Too Much Common sense.
a big industry and a small community
Translation: many billions in the pockets of few people.
Deny. Defend. Depose.
It was a great message but it doesn't work as a slogan or rallying call - (delay) deny and defend are their tactics, that was the joke.
The NYPD already clarified that the shell casing said "delay", not "defend". Please stop spreading misinformation.
Actually, it was 4 casings, saying Delay, Deny, Depose, and Defend. Also, even if it wasn't, "misinformation" is WAY too dramatic a term to use for making a common mistake about a word when that word is usually used to describe deliberately spreading disinformation.
Besides, speaking of misinformation, "the NYPD clarified" doesn't hold a lot of weight without confirmation from a more trustworthy source.
Whatever happened to "everyone needs to return to the office"?
Not those everyones.
Working from home? So lazy!
Health insurance is a big industry
Yes, that's the issue. That's the part you need to understand.
What about this is gaslighting exactly?
Gaslighting generally refers to the act of telling a person obviously untrue things as if it were the truth, usually repeatedly until the person starts to question themselves.
It's become a popular phrase used to describe tactics of abusers in relationships.
I am aware of the definition. How does this statement cause anyone to question their own senses?
It doesn't, gaslighting doesnt mean that.
Then why did you define it that way?
The post is correct, my definition is correct, you are wrong.
I very nearly quoted you word for word. By your definition, you're gaslighting me right now!
Turtles all the way down.
