There's been lots of talk about United killing people through their abhorrent practices and delay tactics.

But this is literally murder.

jury nullification. do you think Sherwood would convict Robin Hood?

edit - i'll leave it, but i feel like i just said something stupid. it's been a long time since i've read the story. have at it.

Feds can't prove luigi did lol

Maybe if they can prove it, we can talk jury nullification but so far the man is not guilty and being shameless smeared by the entire regime and their whores

[–] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

practical hope is knowing that trials like this take longer than election cycles.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Do you think change [of] the white house regime whore gonna change the regimes approach re Luigi?

I don't think it will tbh

They change [the] sock but it is the same hand and daddy owners big mad their whore got wacked like that

[–] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

yeah, you're right, but here's what i see:

  • option 1: judged and executed under this regime
  • option 2: tried, judged, and sentenced

not to say it'll be fair, but at the very least it could be legal

I may need to read that again. I felt there were words absent.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I really don't see Luigi getting pardoned.

[–] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

i'm reconsidering my comment now.. there's a good chance that the executive branch is going to do something stupid and try to involve themselves in the process, and it could cause a mistrial.

edit - i don't think there's a pardon in his future, either. but the president's inability to keep his mouth shut might just end up saving this guy from death row (maybe?)

I'm saying that conspiring with PAs and NPs to falsify medical records with the specific intent to make sure people die is literally murder.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why does United have or need access to patient DNR status? That has no bearing on processing payment for medical services.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

To do shit like this I guess.

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Wow, two horrific scandals in one week..it's a disgusting company

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I cancelled that company as soon as they lost their ceo, and went with another company, which may not be any better. But at least my current company isn't killing people remotely with DNRs. gah!

But at least my current company isn't killing people remotely with DNR

I'll take "Things UnitedHealth customers were saying until this article came out" for $300 Alex.

Seriously though, you have no way of knowing that.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago

I suppose that's true, and by the same token, you don't know that my company IS killing people with DNR, like you DO now know UH is doing.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

the other one is united health is infiltrating nursing homes to delay/deny hospital transfer of patients. so that insurance doesnt end up paying for the elderly people.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

There's another scandal I'm not aware of?!

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

It's related, they were also giving bonuses to not send patients from their nursing homes to the hospital resulting in delayed care (worse recovery outcomes and deaths).

[–] Uranhjort@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Given their history of industrious villainy, it's safe to say that the answer to that will be "Yes" as long as they're in business.

In German we have a word for it: sozialverträgliches Frühableben

That appears to be two words.
