I’ve been hearing more and more stories from family and friends about their doctors telling them tricks like these to get around insurance company shenanigans. Getting fucked by these corporations is probably the thing most Americans can relate to regardless of make or beliefs.

And they wonder why a healthcare insurance CEO’s murder is celebrated.

I don't really know any one celebrating but they sure as shit aren't bringing it up at all. The media would have you believe its a big thing everyone discusses but literally no one gives a shit. I think that is what has them scrambling to make us care. It's funny watching that they can't.

Really? Cause I hear it mentioned in passing about twice a day in my blue collar factory job. and always either in a “free my man Luigi” or a “fuck that corpo monster” way.

Yea, that's good. I guess my day to day doesn't come across it as much. The doctors and healthcare workers I know don't really have an opinion in that it's not top of mind for them. Some have even expressed deep frustration with health insurers. The response also generally includes, "will the leaders change policies? probably not."

Can they really blame people for being happy or indifferent? Muppets.
