Thoughts and prayers for him and his family have been determined to be out of network.
I'm sure his family have more than enough money to be able to sleep comfortably at night
True. The're probably secretly happy to see the asshole gone too.
Would be biblical. There are many prayer psalms where the author is asking God to avenge him and destroy those who hurt him.
And that would fit perfectly with the OT god who was a petty, jealous, all around annoying, piece of garbage.
I'll never forget what he did to my boy Job.

Thoughts and prayers that some of the lesser residents of hell may catch a break while the demons focus their attention on Brian Thompson.
Quite usually it's code for 'i don't give a shit but will do the absolute minimum for the sake of public perception'
Literally had some apologist neoliberal try to scold everyone yesterday for finding satisfaction in this because Brian had two kids.
His policies KILLED kid's parents, solely to increase private shareholder profits.
Their parents had to die because Brian's ego score line had to go up faster. 🤷
And unlike his kids, the kids whose parents he killed largely don't have blood drenched trust funds to support themselves materially.
Not just parents dying but kids too. It was this guy's responsibility to make sure the people who managed the company would refuse as much life saving care for children as possible. I do not endorse anyone to commit murder ever, but I won't be shedding any tears when a monster like that is shot down. I do think it's okay to feel some sympathy for his kids, but they're wealthy. They'll probably be okay in time.
The kids are innocent in this and I don't see why feeling bad for them is incompatible with being ok with their father's death.

So, if the assassin's claim was to be rejected due to CEO policies and his life would be in danger, would he be able to say it was a self defence?
No self defense can only be claimed against someone of equal or lower economic class, or power
Jebus, this is so depressingly truthy.
Thoughts and prayers for his victims and their loved ones.
fuck that guy. more of them need to die. shooter isn't a villain, he's a god damned hero.
Honestly, I'm glad that guy is dead, and if that makes me a bad person I guess I'll just have to live with that.
Hard to feel bad when a Machiavellian asshole like that actually suffers consequences. Sucks that he was immune to consequences from the legal system with all that money. If that wasn't the case he might still be alive to go to jail.
I feel like someone should compile a list of suspects (read: denied claims) and read them off loudly at every memorial event for him.

Why is he on a cloud? A fire would have been more fitting?
Smoke cloud from the fire.
I used to work in medical billing and dealing with UHC denied claims was the absolute worst. I'm actually surprised that the denial rate is 32%. It seemed much higher.
May the shareholders be with him
Literally
Kaiser's is artificially low because of the vertical integration.
Is that true? My initial thought was that it's because Kaiser Permanente is a nonprofit. Unless I am mistaken.
Yes, it's true. Its nominal "nonprofit" status doesn't stop it from being a major market competitor with a history of regulatory capture, paying its CEO more than other insurance companies do, and having vast cash reserves, for example.

My spouse works for PPO insurer and has worked for Aetna, and she always jump on my Kaiser plan if I work for an employer that offers it. Her coworkers often do the same.
All healthcare in the US is embarrassingly bad, but Kaiser often does cover more and charges less than comparable PPO plans. Problem is, navigating it can be tricky if you’re used to PPO life.
We’re with Aetna right now. We fucking hate it. The love to force out of pocket payments for preventative care. Aetna rather you just hury up and die so they don’t have to pay for you.

Perhaps the 9mm pistol is the guillotine of the next American revolution.
Good ole Kaiser
You know, I've had my gripes with them, but they have not once denied a claim for me. I even had a fully covered precautionary MRI because a couple of my family members have died suddenly from aneurysms in the past.
I'm positive UHC would have said "LOL that sucks. Good luck tho!"

They don’t deny claims, they just refuse to let you see a specialist that would generate the claims in the first place.
A horrible human being died yesterday
The CEO of Medica should probably stay away from sidewalks in front of hotels.
No, no. He or she is perfectly safe in any public space, this is certainly a one-time thing and no precautions are necessary.
Yes, of course.
He, 'something, something' and 'found out'.
Damn I thought Aetna was terrible. I mean, they absolutely are, but I didn't think other companies would be that much worse.
our thot sand prayers are for him
LOL
Ken has really been making hay of this. Must love being independent!
