The attack on the 50-year-old executive—allegedly by the now 27-year-old Luigi Mangione—immediately sparked an outpouring of public fury not at the gunman, but at UnitedHealthcare itself.

Luigi allegedly killed one man

United Health kills thousands on a regular basis

EDIT: .... thanks for the clarification (I'll remember it from now on)

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 143 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Luigi has yet to be convicted of anything, but the sentiment remains.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 109 points 1 week ago

That's even better

Luigi allegedly killed one man

United Health most definitely kills thousands on a regular basis as a matter of company savings and profits

I should additionally mention that I find the evidence that has been publicized so far has not convinced me they even have the right fucking guy

Have they tried not being evil by design?

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 46 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Literally. They got sued over it.

We tried being more evil, and when that didn't work, we doubled down. We dont know why it isn't working.

Yes, but the profit growth rate decreased marginally, which was deemed absolutely unacceptable.

Costco CEO is already covered as soon as they raise the price of the hot dog combo.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Incorrect, they're just temporarily not as bad as they could be.

The shooting "tarnished UnitedHealthcare's reputation and disrupted its operational stability," Ge Bai, a professor of health policy and management at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Maryland, told Newsweek.

No, it did not, don't pin that one on Luigi.

UnitedHealthcare did that all on their lonesome, by profiteering on people's pain and suffering.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 65 points 1 week ago

“In a statement today, interim CEO of Cockroach Inc. expressed extreme displeasure that Luigi shined a light on their roaches nest for others to see.”

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The shooting helped people realise just how united they are in their justified anger

I don't give a single shit about the welfare or public approval of any large profit corporation. I care even less about UHC specifically.

Anyone who still works there is complicit. The entire health insurance industry needs to be taken down and everyone involved shunned from society forever. It's an atrocity.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 34 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (27 children)

Hey, where do you work? - Oh I work in the health insurance industry - That's disgusting, I am leaving.

The United Healthcare AI that killed your grandmother and mine is still at large.

We can talk about Luigi's alleged crime once this systemic violence is deposed.

However, while it's understandable for consumers to get angry at their health insurers, it is also important to remember "there is no easy answer" for such companies as they navigate costs and care, Jonathan Gruber, a professor of economics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told Newsweek.

There is a very easy answer. Eliminate the health insurance companies. They do not improve healthcare and serve only to increase costs by extracting profit.

Luigi offers an easy answer

The profit motive does not belong in any industry of necessity.

The capitalists have metastasized into education, Healthcare, and bastardized any and all forms of food to maximize profit at the expense of their humanity.

They've brought us to our knees, and before the capitalists are done, death will be a mercy to most.

They're struggling to get over their own policies which were already unpopular but did serious damage once people discussed how crappy those policies were. Luigi was the spark. They built the house of match sticks and poured gasoline on it.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

[–] Coyote_sly@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This is the way. We've been in a class war for a generation, and we've been losing without even fighting back. Past time for that to change.

Free Luigi, and compensate him with a few million dollars from United Healths bloated coffers for inflicting so much anguish on this innocent young man.

I can't even start to understand how a healthcare organization has a stock price. They should be nonprofits to start with.

As a Pro Life Jesus Loving Republican I think this is TERRIBLE! That UnitedHealthcare is LOSING Money! If we don't Donate and Help them HOW will their CEO be able to Afford a NEW Yacht while MURDERING Tens of Thousands of Americans? That Thought makes my HEART Weep!
