No, it's a statement of fact. You are trying to pooh-pooh this murder away as a symbolic act, like a dummy of Thompson was burned in effigy. A real person was really shot in the back and killed on a real street, while on his way to explain to his investors that profits were down (read: paying out more).It's amazing, really, the just naked, craven, and useless appeal to emotion this is.
42 pages in, and we are still waiting to hear about them. Handwaving that "everybody knows this" ain't ◊◊◊◊ for an argument.The victims of his policies also had families.
Projection and mind-reading aren't your strong suits.It supports the general theme in the US that the lives of the rich, prominent, and powerful are worth more than us lesser scum.
No it's not. As pointed out ...repeatedly... most of the denials are for doctor misbilling, and get straightened out in the reconsideration process. You're starting to sound like you have a tin foil hat on.That it gets reversed 70% of the time should suffice as probable cause for felony fraud. That's the point.
And... yet again,,, you ducked the point. You claimed there was some incomprehensible legalese that no one could understand. I demonstrated that you were full of ◊◊◊◊ and the appeal form was so simple that a child could navigate it. Most denied people don't even lift a finger to pursue it. Of those that do, the misbilling and other problems are straightened out in the vast majority.
The doctor miscoding and missing filing deadlines is not the fault or responsibility of the insurer or the insured.They are taking shots hoping that sick people won't be able to respond. Even that is ignoring the damage the delay can cause.
They had a ◊◊◊◊◊◊ up program. When challenged, it corrected. Yes, that's a hassle for the insured, and yes, the courts are dealing with that now. Keep in mind that this all rests on the plaintiffs claim at this point. Are they usually purely objective, ya think?This wasn't a reasoned policy response. It was a representation of the impotent rage felt towards a machine that does things like deny 70% of legitimate claims. It was a one person riot, more or less.
Agreed on the last part, both points.Rising costs are a red herring. It's more the inefficiencies and crap outcomes. Spending money on healthcare is a good thing in and of itself. The mess created by injecting profit seeking into a service/good where market forces break down is too complicated to clearly analyze, but the difference between countries that do not have this problem and the US is not exactly hard to parse.
Luigi will very possibly upon closer examination turn out to be just a violent lunatic looking for a plausible target, but that's always going to be the first wave. It's an amazing testament to the general restraint of the American people that ceo assassinations aren't way more common than they are.
