    Will the oligarchs seek the death penalty for this company killing a civilian child?

    No

    But they’ll seek the death penalty for a civilian killing one of them.

    Oligarchs vs their Consumers. Both now killing each other openly. The opening of true class warfare.

        I wonder what the previous could have written.

        Surely the comment wasn’t removed because he was encouraging people to demonstrate their displeasure regarding their denied claims directly to the health insurance’s CEO, as that would be perfectly legal.

    my wife just went to help her estranged mother come home from the nursing home the hospital had put her in after her surgery. she said they tried to get her to sign her entire life away to united healthcare before releasing her, and probably would have if she hadn’t been there to stop it.

    they wanted to milk her for everything they could, racking up massive medical bills by keeping her there, and then have her sign her life and possessions over to UHC to recoup expenses. when my wife took her home they said it was against medical advice, which allows them to deny coverage for the bills she incurred.

    fucking vultures. free luigi.

    While not the point of this thread, just wanted to note for anyone struggling, themselves or someone they care about, there are lots of resources for addiction out there. Many of them free.

    A treatment center can be a safe place to get clean and gain some knowledge, but it is a lifelong struggle for most who have addiction issues. Going into a treatment center does not “cure” most.

    Please seek out help, even if you do not have insurance or are unable to go to a treatment center.
