The American side of the internet has been absolutely savage today…and I fucking love it.
Someone is pearl clutching at me on Bluesky for saying how delighted I am, and saying how this guy has a family. Well so so the people he denies health care to, especially this kid.
It’s worse, they fucking approved the chemotherapy, but not the anti nausea drugs for it. Absolute monsters, “oh we’ll save your life kiddo, but we’re going to make you suffer for it”.
They’re calling the shooter The Adjuster now. I love it. Adjust many more of them…
Where are they calling him that?
It’s floating around Bluesky and Facebook.
Screw his family. They’re enablers and collaborators.
They have his 10 million dollar salary to dry their tears with while other people have pain and death because of it.
If Kamala shot a health insurance ceo she’d’ve won every state. Economic populism is wildly popular here
Instead she couldn’t even commit to keeping Lina Khan on the job. That tea was weak.
But somehow it’s the left’s fault she lost because checks notes they accurately said, repeatedly, that tacking hard to the right yet again was a losing strategy.
if CEOs didn’t want to be executed they shouldn’t run their businesses so provocatively.
just sayin.
This guy gets it
The public pays for coverage and expects to be covered. If the insurers think the cost is too high then they should just increase premiums instead of denying coverage under existing contracts. Simple like that.
Or, get rid of insurers completely and move to a single payer system without parasitic middlemen.
On single payer, very complex procedures like organ transplants, tumor resections in complicated places (ie neurosurgery) become completely out of reach of normal people. That is also extreme and undesirable.
Sure, you could just get denied by a private insurer and end up bankrupt or dead instead 🤡
See, there is a qualitative difference there. Not being able to pay single payer for a procedure that is way too expensive is one thing. The other, is paying for insurance coverage and the insurer acting on bad faith to not deliver what the contract said it would.
The latter is just fraud but in America the judiciary lets this happen as it is dysfunctional as well.
Unlike the current system, where healthcare becomes completely out of reach of normal people.
If it was a real oligarchy, the body has ways to shut it down.
More like “Frugally and correctly spent”
Aren’t we supposed to celebrate when an evil person is brought to justice?
🎶 He had it comin’ 🎶
He only had himself to blame.
And I would definitely have done the same.

Tbh that is why we should make memes that casually mention this very tragic incident whenever health insurance companies suggest any policy that sucks more money out of ordinary people, nurses and doctors’ pockets.
Is anyone doing merch for this yet?
I’m working on it
Deny, Defend, Depose, Die
I would love wearing a shirt like that
Check out cola corp.
I emailed them last night and there’s nothing official yet but dude mocked up his shirt for me right away…
God I hope so.
I’m not a psychopath but when I heard the BBC’s coverage of it… I couldn’t feel bad for the guy, if what they reported is true
Don’t feel bad at all.
I love this doctor
I think “butthead” is too polite
One of the doctors I work with is moving back to the US, and I can’t understand why. Why would you want to deal with these companies and jump through all these miserable hoops? Canadian health care is far from perfect but it’s pretty much a one stop shop for billing.
Wait they’re talking about lead in gasoline? I don’t mainstream news much
I sensing a consensus from today’s CEO away.
What SM is that? Dun think I bin done did seened it befowa.

The two words were written on the dust cover of the AR-15 rifle Braisford used to kill Shaver: “You’re fucked.”
same energy; other side of the short sharp stick
The difference being that one was a filthy dirty cop doing filthy dirty cop shit, and the Adjuster who is a folk hero who deserves sainthood. Both sides my ass.
