Please take a look at my laceration of the medical insurance monsters of the macabre

I abandoned Xitter (pronounced SHITTER) long ago but have a day off and just couldn’t deny my need for the truth from the angry masses. I got my fill.

The meme class wars are gonna be lit af. So glad I’m on the downward slope of life. I’m moving solidly into the fuck it all camp.

I love the smell of the ruling class in fear. It smells like justice.

Keep doing the good work my friend.

Just before reading this I was thinking about this shooting. Then thinking about cyberpunk future dystopia's where mega pharma's have private militaries. This is how we get there.

Inquiring minds want to know whether tRump will bring Charles Kushner to the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral on December 8, a holy day in the Roman Catholic Church.

Agree JL that the theories don’t hold water, I suspect the shooter is the child of someone who was denied care by UnitedHealth. Obviously the shooter did their homework and targeted the CEO of the insurance arm of the company.

Great article! But citing an internal announcement as evidence of this guys morals isn’t really convincing. Executives telling the rest of their company what they should be doing but have no intention of actually doing is like, trick number 1.

UnitedHealthcareGroupCoInc. capitalization is over half a trillion dollars. They expect 2024's revenue to be a staggering quarter of a TRILLION dollars. It's possible that some of this money may be going toward actual health care (just not anesthesia).

It’d be nice to know exactly how many of those premium dollars paid for healthcare and how many wound up in investors pockets.

They’re publicly traded so dividends and buybacks are public record. It’s typically billions.

As an RN, the most galling part of this is that corporate health offices will have even more security, while healthcare workers are assaulted every day, and have also been shot at work get almost nothing.

agree…as well as hiding in their corporate suites while the rest of us were slaving away in the hospitalmduring COVID-19.

At the beginning, our administration wouldn’t let us wear masks because it would scare the patients. They all had masks when they came to the floors though

Thanks so much, Jodi! While I certainly concur that we don't need to subsidize the MSM, I do want to say I value and rely on a lot of their work. And for most of my career was one of the people creating it! (That said, I certainly get the sentiment!)

And can I add a big fuck you to the blind corporate fucks who think we just sleep under an drug induced comma we paid for for decades while they play golf. They can kiss my ass!

That's better than a drug induced semi-colon.
