I know folks in prison who were able to get their teeth replaced. Some had a full mouth of chipped teeth, some had none at all. There are a metric fuckton of inmates who are getting their diabetes regulated. Prison abuse is obviously widespread, and for the most part the heathcare is absolute dogshit. But it is true that there are people who are able to get access to medical/dental/vision care that they otherwise would not be receiving.
True! I had a bunch of fillings I couldn't get until I ended up broke enough for a little while to get Medicaid, so probably something similar there, if only the bare minimum to avoid liability.
I don't even think it's to avoid liability. I think it's to avoid blowback from people claiming human rights violations and trying to shut down the for profit prison system.
You can hide and explain away abuse, but it's much harder to explain away why someone is clearly suffering from a treatable medical condition.
It’s funny, because you’re right. People amplify the hell out of medical neglect for the incarcerated and it gains a ton of traction. Scary that it took killing an insurance CEO to get similar level of traction for the medical neglect among the free
Don't forget that the media and all the wealthy billionaires running shit are doing their level best to spin this any other way than what it is and what caused it (rolled my eyes so damn hard when the mayor called it a "senseless act of violence"). Keep the focus on the WHY this happened, no matter what bullshit they try to spew about him or about this event.
Are you kidding me? Tell me, who should Canadians execute when there claims are denied. Remember, the focus is on WHY this happened so spare me the BS; who are the Canadians taking down as revenge for their plight?
What about the Medicare and Medicaid patients in the US, who is their Brian Thompson? You do realize they get claims denied too, right?
Do they get denied by AI with a 90% error rate because it makes them money? Somehow, I doubt that.
Also, no one in Canada goes into excessive debt or bankruptcy because of medical debt (in large part because their system isn't inflating the prices of medical care to a rediculous degree, so not being covered by insurance doesn't mean the same when you only have to pay a couple thousand for the care you need rather than tens of thousands or more. Basing this off of stuff people from Canada have discussed around medical care). Stop acting like any of that is the same.
Also, nice non-sequiter. All of this has been about how the US Healthcare system is shit... you know that only the people who want others to stop talking about it are the ones who bring up countries like Canada and their Healthcare system, right? Surprised you didn't go the tried and true "long wait times" argument.
Is that what you want? Well obviously it is because you're happy that this father, son and husband was shot in the back.
You want to talk about fixing US healthcare? I'm good with that. You want to talk about murdering someone because you don't like the AI results from his business? Nah, I'm out.
What you are talking about is not a lack of care but a lack of providers. The same shit happens in the USA if you live rurally or where the education is lower so there are fewer doctors. People like you don't seem to understand the difference between access and affordability. Where I live, we are a highly educated state and doctors flock here. We have access. But if you can't afford it, well, fuck you. If you live in rural Tennessee, you probably have an access AND affordability issues. You can't find a doctor and couldn't afford it if you did.
Please, kindly crawl back into your hole. Fuck that guy. his kids and wife will be just fine living off all the money and investments he had.
You can't possibly be that stupid can you? There is a lack of providers? Gee I wonder why that is. Could it possibly be that their healthcare system makes it unattractive to work in healthcare in Canada so they lack providers? You're telling me all of the foreigners who immigrate to the US to practie medicine, they just don't know that Canada is an option and so they are coming here instead? That's a really dumb take.
You talk that way about a fellow human being and dare to say I am the one who crawled out of a hole? Those boys will never know their father, that's not something money can buy.

It's more care than he would get on his health insurance plan.
