    I feel like someone should compile a list of suspects (read: denied claims) and read them off loudly at every memorial event for him.

    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.

    And unlike his kids, the kids he killed probably largely don’t have blood drenched trust funds to support them 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.

        There isn’t an amount of money in the world that can replace a father who is loved by their family. I think that’s a very weird way of belittling their loss.

        You can say he was shitty and did shitty things and got what was coming to him while also lamenting a family’s loss

          I wonder how much was really lost. What type of father do you think he would be? Loving? Empathetic? Caring? Supportive?

          More likely he was a cunt who was probably never home.

          Thoughts and prayers though.

        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.

      They don’t deny claims, they just refuse to let you see a specialist that would generate the claims in the first place.

      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!”

        I started with Kaiser, switched employer and had Anthem. Switched again and went back to Kaiser. My experience was just better with them. And yes, I prefer universal healthcare to this BS.

          Oh, by leaps and bounds. I think most Americans would absolutely agree with you, if they weren’t poisoned by propaganda and “Obama care bad.”

            I recall when Bernie briefly forced the subject into the public consciousness before the Dems forced him out and buried it again, there was a study done on this. It found that when universal healthcare was described in plain language without buzzwords that have been poisoned by propagandists, something like 70-80% of Amerians support it.

    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.
