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.
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.
Education in the US was at its height when it received ample public funding.
death will be a mercy to most.
In the future, it will be a privilege to die, at least the way this train currently going
They are a wholly unnecessary middleman extracting a rent where none is due. They slow down the speed of care and needlessly complicate a very simple system.
It should not exist. They're the landlords of medicine. Entirely pointless and nothing more than a detriment to the profession, service, and function of healthcare no matter if its picking up a z-pack for bronchitis or having a tumor removed. Healthcare insurance serves no purpose whatsoever.
A single, (truly) non profit insurer that has no ability to deny coverage and is fully funded by income tax could have an administrative purpose.
Luigi offers an easy answer
Fucking excellent. Hope we see a hundred more Luigi’s.
If they happen, the media will never let us see them. Just assume it's happening and we're all fed up with this shit.
Maybe they are happening and we don't hear

I can't even start to understand how a healthcare organization has a stock price. They should be nonprofits to start with.
And this brings up the other thing they are struggling to recover from. They were sued by blackrock for taking care of people too well.
Blackrock, that investment firm that you can't even divest from because your pension is tied to it. Which really peels back some layers on root cause analysis. Because blackrock and vanguard get management of this money pretty much by default when there is an institutional pension they have fuck you money. As in fuck you, it's my money till 40 years in the future.
The Healthcare United CEO is just middle management. All he's doing is taking orders in hopes doing that enough means his company survives. If he doesn't then the private equity firms and banks just fund the guy who will.
Larry Fink is the real management.
They weren't sued for helping take care of people. It was a misleading headline. Theyre getting sued for failing to commit to taking care of stock holders.
Prosecute United Healthcare for murdering their policy holders.
Literally murdering. They were asking healthcare providers at assisted living facilities to change elderly patients' records to add DNRs that the patients hadn't authorized.
Literally altering medical records to make sure people die instead of costing money.
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.
"corporate tragedy"
The Shakespeare of our time
Oh no...
Anyway
Isn't this headline a bit legally sketchy being at he's not been sentenced yet
This comment is legally sketchy being that in order to be sentenced you need to be guilty? He hasn’t been found guilty yet.
ESPECIALLY, since he was at my place, playing PS5 with me, when the Murder allegedly happened!
And either before or after he was at my place vibe coding some fixes for civ6. Guy is a real GOAT.
I was there when the murder happened. It was a one armed man. This whole thing is a witch hunt.
united health ceo shot hisself
Bold of the writers to chose the word "Recover" as related to Luigi. Could have been something like, "United Healthcare Struggles to Resume Exploitation After Luigi" or "Unites Healthcare Struggles to Interfere with Healthcare after Lugi".
Pretty sure their struggles aren't b/C of Luigi. It's b/c they murder people.
