    If US Health Insurance companies are so great at the service they provide, why don’t they take their business internationally? All these other countries must be so exasperated with their useless, inadequate federal healthcare programs.

    Oh, wait, they’re not.

    What did Brian Thompson do/fail to do that makes this statistic his fault, and for death to be the morally justified consequence?

    Edit: I’ll reframe this as a statement. Celebrating the murder of Brian Thompson and especially advocating for more acts like it is abhorrent behaviour.

      You think none of the decisions of the CEO of UHC affected this statistic at all? I feel like there’s a LOT of UNC policy that he was involved in that results in worse healthcare in the US, including but not limited to “AI” for denials.

      I don’t think we have a uniform moral calculus, but my personal one doesn’t justify the death penalty in this case. I can imagine a moral calculus that does though: hours of excess suffering caused > expected lifespan = death penalty.

        I can imagine someone justifying murdering someone who looked at them funny. So what?

          I don’t think you have engaged with any of my arguments. I’m going to block you for a couple of weeks.

            Your arguments:

            • Asking me if I believed something I didn’t say.
            • Telling me that you have the mental capacity to imagine someone justifying something heinous.

            Gee, what a shame it will be to be cut off from such a mastermind.

    You should also Luigi anyone you know who voted for Trump. They are directly responsible for everything currently happening and do not deserve to feel safe.

        Running for office, starting a competitive company, or just general political activism against the people who caused this problem, literally anything.

        Here is the perspective: Luigi was the son of the multimillionaire owner of Mangione Family Enterprises. He had an Ivy League Education and a cushy tech job with 6 figure salary. He 3D printed a gun at home, took $20,000 cash to live off while on the run, and murdered a stranger.

        Imagine how much good you could have done in his position, instead of throwing it all away.

          there’s no evidence provided yet that it was even Luigi. I’m tired of seeing everyone talking about this like we know he did it. INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.

            So? The criticism is with people celebrating whoever did do it. Whether it’s actually him or not isn’t really relevant to that.

    Canada is number 32. Maybe the US should become Canada’s fourth territory. We should talk to Premier Trump about it.

      The US contains some of the best cancer research centers in the world, most of which are non profits. On top of this you genuinely can buy the best care if you can afford it, as top talent across the world go to the US to get rich if they’ve lost all their morals.

      It’s just everyone except the super rich and people with rare cancers that might someday affect rich people that can’t get care without bankruptcy and have to use enshittified hospitals.
