“California lawmakers propose…”? Buddy, that’s an initiative, it can be proposed by literally anyone in the state.

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 77 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

and it’s from a petition… i could make up a law called the “balls in your mouth” law, start a petition today, and fox will be promoting articles saying “california lawmakers want to put their balls in your mouth”.
(also, “balls in your mouth” is a kid rock song from when he used to be a detroit rapper with a flattop… people should not let him forget that he was very into black culture before he switched to white trash culture… also he was a literal pimp)

*edit, left out a key name.

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think you missed mentioning who “he” is there. Are you saying that Luigi Mangione was previously a Detroit rapper and a literal pimp?

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 week ago

while that is a funny prospect, no i meant kid rock

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't like that they use his name even though he didn't have trial yet and nothing was proven.

Won't attitude like this only hurt him?

Unfortunately would be replaced by an llm. Language is the one thing they are good at

Limiting Unjustified Insurance Gatekeeping and Interventions

[–] WorldsDumbestMan 6 points 1 week ago

Yes! That's it! You nailed it bro!

He's done more to improve healthcare than most politicians.

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 week ago

Yes, we've all done more to improve healthcare than most politicians or insurance companies, given that they are actively making it worse

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 76 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Luigi is a public servant.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If not, I'd let him take a shot as one. If that works, I'd put him on full-time.

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well he already took a shot...

... and all it cost was one life

Meanwhile, the health industry is doing their best to protect what's there while costing the lives of thousands even millions of people to an early death or a terrible life of misery.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 59 points 1 week ago (2 children)

All of this progress with just one dead ceo. Imagine.

It wasn't even a drawn out broadcast torture fest either, it was a quick death, and it still made them scared as fuck.

Innocent until a jury decides otherwise.

[–] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A jury should decide he's innocent :)

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Yeah, just going off of the images they showed at the time, the one taken at the scene of the crime is significantly different in certain details from the one at the hostel that was used to identify Luigi.

And it's a ballot initiative? Well played.

Section C talks about how if they want to delay or deny any medication/procedure that was recommended by a physician that in needs to be by another physician. There's already a loophole in place for this section which is that insurance companies hire loads of physicians to look at case files and determine if it should be denied or not. There is obviously a huge conflict of interest there, but that's how that works.

However, section D talks about how if they delay or deny anything, the insurance company has the burden of proof and would have to pay for any damages or legal fees in doing so. That part is HUGE! Accountability in the court for this bullshit!

section E makes decisions made by a non-physician also a felony, should be expanded to make influencing a physician to lie also a felony, protecting physicians employed by insurance company from reprisal.

[–] misteloct@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago

Hilarious especially given Luigi is literally innocent (until proven guilty). The name is pure trolling and we need more of this.

[–] darkknight@discuss.online 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That should be illegal anyways.

[–] bonus_crab@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

literally been waiting 7 weeks to see a specialist. why? urgent care is no longer allowed to issue referrals, so they had to put me on antibiotics for 3 weeks just to maybe cover me till i could see my pcp.

see the pcp after waiting 2 weeks, they give me a referral, issued STAT.

see them again a week later cuz i havent heard anything, there was an issue and the insurance didnt get the request till that day .

oop insurance actually decides who im referred to and they take 2 more weeks to figure it out.

oop insurance accidentally had a glitch and dropped me for no reason so the whole process has to start over again, after a wait a week for them to fix their mistake.

smfh , lucky its not something worse. I THINK. IDK WHAT IT IS CUZ I HAVENT SEEN A SPECIALIST YET.

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Question, why didn't they do this before?

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 27 points 1 week ago

Because there was one too many billionaires. Want more done? Need less billionaires.

[–] duhbasser@lemm.ee 19 points 1 week ago

Because this is political theater but there’s also a lot of nuances that go into this type of thing. Should they have done something like this in the past, 100%…but this is also a result of the collective California population being so fed up with insurance companies that it forces politicians to do something. He’s a martyr no doubt but the health care situation continues to get worse so pushing something so “liberal” wasn’t going to happen previously.

St. Luigi Memorial Hospital

[–] lordkuri@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Good luck. They passed the timely access to care act and you can't actually use it because doctors and health systems ignore it, and your insurance will make you jump through so many hoops you'll feel like fucking Luigi before you're done.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 week ago (8 children)

I remember when he first became popular a lot of people felt like fucking Luigi.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think a lot of people still would. Dude is conventionally attractive, and i don't even like men

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

People used to want to fuck Luigi. They still do.....

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I would let Luigi Depose me ngl

Proposed. Hopefully, it goes somewhere.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Its absurd they can deny you care or medicine for any reason outside your own doctor canceling it.

[–] RandoMcRanderton@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

With this one weird trick!

I love it, but I'm a bit worried that using his name could make it harder to get enough people onboard... Not that it would be easy normally... But maybe I'm wrong, maybe he's more generally liked than I realize (outside of online spaces anyway)

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

oh no, how will the redditors know?
