      Someone assassinated the CEO of an American health insurance company with a silenced pistol after an investors meeting. Apparently the company is famous for turning down people’s requests for treatment while the guy had a yearly salary in the undreds tens of millions.

        “Delay” and “Depose” were apparently written on the shell casings.

        “Delay. Deny. Defend.” is a common health insurance company mantra about denying service long enough that people die so the company doesn’t have to pay for the Healthcare they’re entitled to.

        Insurance pre-authorization for medical care should be outlawed. If a doctor orders a procedure, the insurance company shouldn’t be allowed to say “no.” But they are because our system is super fucked.

            You gotta read the room and put the conciliatory part up front when people’s emotions are up. They put it at the end unfortunately

              Downvoting as a knee jerk response without caring to even read the comment is a flaw of the downvoter, not the commenter.

              “Read the room”, how about read the comment? lol

        They were wrong about it not being televised, lol. News channels are showing the footage right up to where the trigger was pulled.

        Nothing has begun because there isn’t enough of you Leftists with guns or training. All y’all do is complain on the internet. This was one gun owning dude who knows how to procure a suppressor, both of which I’m 100% sure you don’t know how to do yourself nor does 75% of the rest of us left leaning voters

            Lots of stupidity given the fact that a rapist criminal insurrectionist is soon in power and not a single act of armed protest from the left has happened, will happen, or ever happen in the future.
