Two weeks ago, I wrote about the rising American fury at our broken medical system. It now seems that anger may have cost a top healthcare executive his life.
This tragedy has a direct link to the c19 abomination.
This man would never have been able to pull this off or escape authorities without the ironic pandemic connection of normalizing the fucking masks in our society.
Further evidence of mental illness is yesterday's SCOTUS arguments on the Tennessee law to prohibit mutilation of mentally confused children who think they can change their sex. .
I went to see a customer earlier this week. Their office was like a ghost town since the majority of the employees rarely come to the office anymore. Their receptionist (who I've known for years but haven't seen post Covid) was sitting in a nearly empty office with a mask on. It made me sad.
Totally agree. What is wrong with these people? They need an intense day of watching Dr. Vinay Prasad talk about this on YouTube, a deprogramming if you will. I would love to run that class. They are mainly damaging themselves so I guess that's their prerogative, unless illness that results is paid for by our taxpayer money, then possibly that is a different conversation entirely.
I still see masks on government workers who have direct contact with the public. They were against the (pre-covid) law in NY, but that was repealed soon after the masks became must-have faceware for virtue-signaling sheep.
They do keep my face and nose warm when I have to walk home late at night when it's around 40 degrees. No parking near my place that late so I park at work and walk home if no buses are passing at that hour.
there is a lot more relatable to C19. the rage Alex talks about is at all of the people (pharma, hospitals, insurers, government employees etc) who profited from C19 at the expense of everyone else. i do not condone this in any way but the behavior of our elite has been at the level of 18th century aristocrats and they were the most shocked at the outcome.
And it induces a bit of soul searching. Ive been a C level guy myself for the last 20 years (albeit small to midsize cos). A fair amount of wondering if this is a "there but for the grace of god" moment.
It is sad, really, as that CEO probably never even heard of this guy's family member's case (or whoever he is avenging). It is wrong on many levels. The incident does point toward many deeper issues in society however, and I agree that several have reached fever pitch since the COVID debacle. Mental health in our country really suffered during that time. Some postulate that was one of the objectives.
BTW. I've owned a medium size biz (600 employees), for over 20 years, that started out as a small biz, and let me tell you something (that you already know):
There's nobody that works harder than the c-suite for a small/mid size biz.
I share your opinions about masks and Covid. But to be fair, even before masks I used to see a lot of people in that area covering their faces with scarves at this time of year. I worked in the former ABC building across from the Hilton and when it was cold and windy, I wished I had a scarf to cover my face.
NOTHING justifies the assassination of a public official or corporate executive, and this bold act disturbs me on multiple levels.
Regarding the health insurance system -- it was broken before Obamacare, and it is ten times worse now. To make a (very) long story short, I'm self-employed. Pre-Obamacare I paid $780 for my family of 7 for a high-deductible plan that was my "hit by a bus" plan. High-co-pays, but would cover any major health problem (i.e. cancer treatment, surgery, etc.) That was okay because I made good money and could afford basic out-of-pocket expenses. Fast forward -- my police was cancelled because of Obamacare and I was forced into another plan that cost $1350/month .... and every year after it went up until I had to cancel it when it topped $3,000 a month. (That was $3000 a month PLUS a family deductible of $10K -- which meant I would be spending $46K before insurance kicked in.)
Now, I have a Christian health share plan. Not ideal, but I've learned A LOT about how much insurance (and taxpayers) are charged. I get a cash discount -- and it's 40-80% less what insurance would be charged. I get reimbursed for some of my expenses through the health share. It has worked for us. Because in no world can I pay over $3,000 a month for health insurance for my husband ALONE.
Sounds like you have a good plan. Is it through your employer? Would you mind sharing the name? We recently changed our phone plan to one that espouses values and a vision that we can support instead of the DEI policies of others. I also like to support the "little guys" whenever it makes sense.
We use Christian Healthcare Ministries. It's not health insurance. Basically, we buy "health shares" and when we have a large medical expense, after a deductible ($1000) they will reimburse for most items. But they also look at the national average for a procedure, so if you pay a lot more than the average cost, you won't get reimbursed. HOWEVER, they had a lot of great information on how to reduce medical expenses -- literally, my husband had a procedure that would have been billed in excess of $18,000 ... we paid $8,800. (We had to pay 50% up front, and then was billed for the rest -- it took about 80 days to get the reimbursement check.) This isn't for prescriptions, office visits, etc. It's for major medical expenses. I'm self-employed so it works for us. However -- there are a lot of Christian scams out there, so you want to research some. I was able to get insurance for me and my youngest who is still at home, but we don't have any pre-existing conditions. My husband would have cost $3,300 a month (he's also older -- 16 more months and he'll be on medicare, and CHM has a medicare supplement we'll get.)
Honestly it's a miracle to me that this kind of thing hasn't happened sooner. People are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Sick of being a cog in the money machine for guys like that. I am not justifying or celebrating his death...but I certainly am not mourning his loss. I don't know how any one could work for that system and consider themselves to be helping people.
That is my other thought. This seems really clean to be a message of passion. Also, I don't know if I buy that those photos of his face are the shooter...is that supposed to be the same day? His bag and coat seem to be different colors? Or am I reading into it? Who knows...I mean, we still know absolutely nothing about Crooks, so maybe another inside job? So many questions.
Exactly-Crooks-what is going on with his case/investigation? He definitely was not a man acting alone. maybe we will find out more once Trump takes office in Jan, God willing.
While that would be great, apparently Trump tried last time he was in office but due to some involved being still alive, he was unable to do it. Hopefully that's all changed now.
Occam's razor says what the OBVIOUS will present itself as, but this DOJ case is not out of the question is it. Perhaps the OBVIOUS was intentional in the way of distraction and you counter Occam.
interesting...I do not know the details but I am sure more will come out in the following days. What is the DOJ case and where can I find out objective info about it? Thanks-
The insurance industry is one of the most highly regulated, and always ranks in the top 5 nationally in lobbying spending at both the state and federal levels. We've met the enemy, and it is our politicians.
That guy was never concerned about helping people! His own deep pockets were his only motivator!! Insurance companies for the most part, commit various types of ongoing fraud on citizens!!
Come on. Don't be like Taylor Lorenz and the other nuts cheering this assassination. You might not like the health insurance companies, but you should not wish death upon one its execs.
I think this has more to do with the insider trading scandal and him ratting somebody out in his testimony to the DOJ. This was a very professional hit and if you’re going to do a very professional hit, you’re going to make it look like some commoner was unhappy with their insurance. I also don’t believe those pictures are the killer. I think it’s a decoy or something to distract us. I believe the DOJ and the government knows exactly who did this. They were able to find a needle in a haystack when it came to J6. They know who this is. They are covering this up
In my opinion, the assassin's need to manually rack the slide after each discharge of the firearm is due to the use of subsonic rounds. Rather than incompetence, it suggests quite the opposite.
I think there’s more of a crisis in the government being involved in both American medicine and American medical insurance. In both cases distorting the market and the freedom of people to transact in it. And much of it comes back to tax policy from the 1940s when it became smarter to give people benefits versus pay them and then pay a 90% rate.
Alex, you should read Delay, Deny, Defend. The basic facts in the book come from a lawsuit against State Farm. It is 100% the best book on insurance in the late 20th and early 21st century.
I can give a first hand account of State Farm's tactics: We had a kitchen fire in 2007. When they got involved, they put a stop payment on the initial check and brought us in for questioning. They found out my husband was a former fireman who "..knows how to start fires." He indeed admitted he knew how to start fires and assured them that if HE had done it they'd have been sifting through ashes instead of soot covered cupboards. They immediately reinstated the check. Asshats. We found out later they had a habit of doing that.
Yep, State Farm sucks. I recently got screwed by them on an auto claim. Nothing I could say or do would get them to move 2% to keep my car that I wanted to keep from being totalled. And I paid them almost $17,000 last year. F them!
I think what happened to him was horrible. One thing I wonder, and this is playing devil's advocate. How many people died from decisions he made? Denied coverage, delayed treatment because his company intentionally making it hard on people to get approval, hoping you would give up. People having to file bankruptcy because of massive medical expenses due to skyrocketing deductibles? Experimental procedures denied that could save your life, especially when given a death sentence? Basic drugs not being covered? Remember when insulin went from a 20 dollar co-pay to not being covered at all, the $2000 cost being transferred to you? Remember, he was a multi - millionaire, how much of that was blood money? Food for thought?
I just took a peek at the UHG 10-k (annual financial report filed with SEC) and the 2023 stock based compensation expense is over one billion dollars. Stock based compensation is usually reserved for executives and directors. There is something hideously wrong when executives in healthcare are profiting this much off of the backs of patients and taxpayers (Medicare).
While murdering anyone in cold blood is never supportable, the health insurance business is a criminal racket, making money off of systemic denial of coverage, and as such it is exposed to the blowback any criminal syndicate is likely to receive. The people who work for these companies, just like those who worked for the Nazis may be nice enough people, who wouldn't harm a flea, but by supporting a lethal killing machine, they bear some responsibility for the machine's actions. In this regard, much as I deplore this cold-blooded murder, I am completely unsympathetic to those who further this criminal business which kills people every day, without bullets, but by the simple and seemingly clean assassination tool known as "denial of coverage".
I mean that was a hitman. And it's just all to convenient to act like it some military dad who daughter was denied cancer care. I honestly thing this is just a deep state op. Thompson was supposed to testify to the DOJ. What did he know?
No one intentionally leaves their brass at a murder scene. The killer planted it, either to make a point or to mislead investigators. Also, why three casings . . . do we know how many shots were fired? I thought just one.
I'm torn on this one, though obviously not to the point that I want to see anyone killed. I worked in the health insurance industry for many years. I also have a severe chronic illness which gives me a ton of exposure to our healthcare system. I don't claim perfect knowledge, but those two things in combination give me more than a passing understadng of what's happening.
Frankly, our healthcare system is a complete abomination (and not because they have failed to cure me!). Not a single thing works, even the most simple. For example, I have spent the last three weeks trying to schedule a MRI and have called so many different phone numbers, gotten wrong e-mail addresses, and endured lead times on everything. And I am no closer today to having it scheduled than when i started! And this is just the administrative aspect of the system!! Care is poor and is predicated on "managing the illness" (ensuring the Pharma industry maximizes their return on drugs designed to neither kill you nor make you better). The insurance model is... well, you couldn't design amore dysfunctional way to run a system. Prices are jacked up for insurance purposes, there is no transperancy as to real cost, etc. I could go on and on. What do you think oil changes would cost if car insurance paid for them? Yeah, a lot (but you wouldn't know!)
The insurance company needs to get out of the middle. Routine costs need to be paid for by consumers, or by the goverment for people who cannot afford it. Insurance should be for catastrophic conditions only. These are the broad outlines of an approach that might work, though I realize the devil is in the details.
Bottom Line: The whole thing needs to be completely nuked and we need to start over. Will it happen? Big Insurance and Big Pharma have too many entrenched interests, so the answer is NEVER!
My regrets on that man's death. Violence is never an answer.
Wow...it is interesting to note that no media that I saw mentioned this MESSAGE from the assassin. It seems that the media wants to hide the fact that Americans are upset at insurance companies. (Big surprise?)
I tell you what's not a conspiracy theory:
This tragedy has a direct link to the c19 abomination.
This man would never have been able to pull this off or escape authorities without the ironic pandemic connection of normalizing the fucking masks in our society.
Good luck putting that horse back in the stable.
BRAVO!
I thought masks were against the law--pre-covid. The lunatics continue to wear them. (Two, yesterday at the supermarket.)
Right?!
Try flying. I take 4 rountrips per month. At least 10% are still masking!
mENtaL iLNEsS iS rEaL!
Further evidence of mental illness is yesterday's SCOTUS arguments on the Tennessee law to prohibit mutilation of mentally confused children who think they can change their sex. .
I feel like I've gone through the looking glass.
Sotomayor and Brown's comments give a new meaning to "dumb".
They are the epitome of DEI practices in effect.
They are going to give stupidity a bad name!
Alito brought them back to earth. Thank God.
Bingo!

Yeah the only thing masks are good for are murdering people, robbing people/banks and lootathons
For criminals, ski masks and bandanas are more functional and more badass. The face diapers are just lame.
Otherwise you are 100% correct!
They do keep my face and nose warm when I have to walk home late at night when it's around 40 degrees. No parking near my place that late so I park at work and walk home if no buses are passing at that hour.
I’m at an airport….it’s mask insanity overload.
Extra points for duckbill masks. Triple if you spot one with a hole for a cigarette.
Only two?

Alex? Seriously? You identified Taylor Lorenz as a "journalist?"
On a good day--under the best circumstances--she's a nutcase.
I thought we were done with her when she left X (Twitter). She lived for cancelling people and then cried when others were mean to her online.

Thank you for the detailed reply! I really appreciate it .
The guy who was shot was making 10 million a year for killing as many as he could.
Honestly it's a miracle to me that this kind of thing hasn't happened sooner. People are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Sick of being a cog in the money machine for guys like that. I am not justifying or celebrating his death...but I certainly am not mourning his loss. I don't know how any one could work for that system and consider themselves to be helping people.
I think this is more about his DOJ case than it is a disgruntled commoner. Someone wanted him silenced.
That is my other thought. This seems really clean to be a message of passion. Also, I don't know if I buy that those photos of his face are the shooter...is that supposed to be the same day? His bag and coat seem to be different colors? Or am I reading into it? Who knows...I mean, we still know absolutely nothing about Crooks, so maybe another inside job? So many questions.

Like getting ALL on JFK 60+ years later? :)
While that would be great, apparently Trump tried last time he was in office but due to some involved being still alive, he was unable to do it. Hopefully that's all changed now.
sure let's see what one more shot at transparency being enacted brings. IF it does not occur in this next term it never will.

There was a serious investigation on "insider" trading going on

Not going to shed tears for a person who decided to become a millionaire turning human misery into a profit center.
Enjoy that virtue signaling.
Not “virtue signaling.” Just trying to be a decent human being which you seem to fall short on.
No cheering at all by me. It's horrible regardless of the reason.

Yup killers come in many varieties.
Damn right. The most notorious serial killers have Harvard educations and dress in $15,000 suits.
I just took a peek at the UHG 10-k (annual financial report filed with SEC) and the 2023 stock based compensation expense is over one billion dollars. Stock based compensation is usually reserved for executives and directors. There is something hideously wrong when executives in healthcare are profiting this much off of the backs of patients and taxpayers (Medicare).
Yet some judge in Delaware just overruled a shareholder approved compensation package for E. Musk because in her opinion it was excessive.
Despite a majority of shareholders voting in favor of Musk's compensation package.

That was my initial thought. And there were two shots fired based on the initial reports (he was hit once in the leg and once in the back.)
One video, since taken down, shows the shooter walking up to the body & firing another shot at close range to finish him off.
Didn't his gun get jammed 3 times?

Well, don't be evil.
