Summary
The fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has drawn attention due to the phrase “deny, defend, depose” reportedly written on the shooter’s ammunition, echoing criticism of insurer practices like “delay, deny, defend.”
UnitedHealthcare, one of the largest U.S. health insurers, has faced scrutiny over claim denials and delays, including a Senate report highlighting issues with Medicare Advantage prior authorizations.
The killing has sparked public outrage and dark humor on social media, reflecting widespread frustration with health insurers, which many blame for rising healthcare costs and access barriers.
Maybe you should re evaluate that. Like in ‘are we the baddies?’ style.
//Edit-
I am certainly not saying the CEO was anything other than a bad guy. I’m talking about being anti-gun.
IE, 'if when a guy with a gun kills someone we all agree is bad, and your takeaway from that is ‘yay now we can can the gun’, maybe you aren’t the anti-violence person you like to think you are.
Not saying otherwise. I’m saying if your takeaway is that it’s good to put more gun control, maybe you should reevaluate your position on gun control.
Yeah, it’s bad to kill someone with a gun but it’s okay to kill thousands with an AI-enabled claims denier.
Yeah no. Gun ownership in the USA is fucking crazy. How the fuck can a country have regular school shootings and not ban guns or at least regulate them slightly.
regulate them slightly
I would encourage you to educate yourself. If you honestly think there is not even slight regulation of gun ownership, then you are not informed on this issue.
And the fact that people seem to think that they absolutely need to own deadly weapons .
