On the one hand, I can’t see how the victim was guilty based on the manifesto or stats I’ve seen. On the other, I’m wondering why they aren’t just educating the public on how Luigi was misguided.

Do not be fooled. They know what the people want, they are not incompetent. They simply have a conflict of interest.
They don’t actually plan on responding to the peaceful methods that the public has to change anything, or being a true “representative” for the people in that they represent and champion the wishes and needs of the people. They would both lose significant support from the capitalists that line their pockets, and look like hypocrites if they advertised and/or made possible peaceful means of change to a population that is very publicly motivated to make those changes happen, because they would eventually have to stand in the way of that change in order to please the capitalists. Social welfare is really bad for business, the capitalists need these ailments to exist in society so that they can sell us the cure.
The media and politicians want us to feel helpless. They want us to look to them as our only means of change so that they can gatekeep what changes are actually possible and what is allowed to occupy the national consciousness. They know what we want, they don’t want to give it to us, which leaves them with two options: reveal the system for the undemocratic hyper-capitalist machine it is, or gaslight the people so the wheels of the machine can keep turning another day. The first option is not something that is ever going to happen and remains the burden of the people that want to see real meaningful change.
Tell me you have never had to truly deal with the American healthcare system without telling me that you have never had to truly deal with the American healthcare system.
Went to hospital with the flu around toddler / infant age, ended up with chicken pox which showed up down my throat as well. My father mentioned a few times that I came back as a different kid. I can remember being in a crib scratching my back on the rails.
Minor puffiness on my wrist with tendon pain (not conventional tendonitis). Prescribed Naproxen which killed my stomach leaving me in horrible pain. -Prescribed Vioxx and made it worse. Ended up on prescription ant-acids that cause stomach cancer, and I believe Vioxx was removed from the market for causing deaths from heart related issues. The puffiness didn’t go away and wasn’t near as threatening.
Paxil for depression - Made me extremely irritable and prone to violence (like wanting to kill people over stupid shit). -Could have landed me in prison (a person that’s often cited as not having a violent bone in their body).
Blood pressure medicine when I should have been counseled about drinking daily and other avoidable causes. -It’s risky stopping them, and they kept losing efficacy while eventually causing edema.
Wisdom teeth removal is over-prescribed and not plugging the holes left from it causes bone loss (or the main reason people lose their teeth).
Maybe I’ve had enough experience.
Exactly. The governor of NY should give him a full pardon, and the mayor of NYC should throw him a parade.
Hell, as neither of those are going to happen, I’m tempted to start a crowd funding campaign to build a big bronze statue of the guy. We could install it alongside a major road in Minnetonka, MN. Make every UHC employee drive past a giant statue of the guy that merc’d their CEO, every day as they go into work.
