No one talking about the UHC CEO murder?

This a dangerous train of thought to follow to its logical end. It would allow healthcare claims to be denied for anyone except for the people who live a 100% healthy lifestyle. A few pounds overweight? Too bad, denied. Don't workout enough? Denied. Smoked back in high school? Denied. Live near a superfund sight? Denied.

People who actually need healthcare should get it, regardless of if their problem is "self induced" because often the reason it's "self induced" has very complicated causes.

You can dissect it any way you feel that fits your agenda, but my statement is fact: Much of our health issues are self induced....not the fault of the insurance company.

I never stated that someone should not be covered, but don't blame the system for prices on your meds if you are obese and continue to live off McD's and Twinkies. Why should Healthy Person A have to pay the same employer premiums as Person B who has numerous health problems that were self induced....obesity, smoker, for example.

Luigi Mangione's hard turn from wealth and success to murder suspect

Luigi Nicholas Mangione was apparently living a charmed life: the grandson of a wealthy real estate developer, valedictorian of his elite Baltimore prep school and with degrees from one of the nation’s top private universities.

The oddest part to me is why did he shoot him in the back? Did he not have the courage to shoot him face to face?

That's one thing I thought. Had he shot him and put the gun down and waited for the cops I might have had some respect for him.

Can we just pin this to the political thread now? It's like a coffee break for the regulars in here.

Say what you want about his politics, motives, etc. People are talking about Healthcare and how we manage it here more than ever. I wish we could have had this conversation without someone being murdered on cold blood but it appears the message got through.

Nothing will come from it, people will go back to their echo chambers and life moves on.

Also, hella lol at blasting someone for getting info from the MSM, but listing X as a source of unbiased information.

Rudd was right, we're all doomed.

Wasn't this guy supposed to testify about Congressional insider trading?

Maybe I misheard/misread/misremembered... but that seems like a more likely motive than "claim denied".

Guessing Hillary is involved lol.

Seems someone wants to take their ball and go home.

Because he's a gutless coward and not a hero like deadbeat Liberals are shamelessly saying? Just a guess.....
