United Healthcare CEO gunned down in NYC

[Sir Slash]

I can only relate my personal experience with United Healthcare. If what al says is true, I'd love to see actual proof here not just personal speculation. And how's the guy walking around not in an orange jumpsuit? If your work only allows coverage by one company that is THAT bad, maybe you should consider working elsewhere. When I worked for the State of Florida, Blue Cross & Blue Shield was our insurer and while they weren't perfect, I was satisfied enough to stay where I was. As a nurse I could've found another job with better insurance if that was what was most important to me. Maybe the tech industry is different. I would think that would be an excellent subject to bring to my Union's or elected representative's attention.

No matter how bad the guy was or was not, murder is not what he deserved.

Hahahaha... "Union."  Yeah, that's a good one.  I'm gonna go call my Silicon Valley tech industry union.

Elected representative... Yeah, I'm sure ole Gavin Newsom's just a phone call away from stepping up to bat and making a big tech company give me a less exploitative healthcare package.

Slash, it's actually adorable how out of touch and naive you are.  Here's a few more pieces of choice reading, but somehow I don't think any of this will convince you what a piece of shit this guy was.

how's the guy walking around not in an orange jumpsuit?

Why do you think?  Because he was ultra wealthy and killed people via paperwork, not a gun.

murder is not what he deserved.

I agree.  He deserved a lot worse.

Listen...this is technically R&P and its clearly crossed that line.

We can't have people suggesting that the murder of Brian Thompson was justified and since this current event is far afield from military and strategic matters I'm going to lock the thread.
