Summary
Internet sleuths, who often assist in high-profile investigations, are notably silent on the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Popular figures like TizzyEnt and Savannah Sparks cited disinterest, with some expressing disdain for the U.S. healthcare system, which has faced heightened criticism amid record-low public satisfaction.
Many online users appear apathetic, failing to empathize with the wealthy victim.
The lack of engagement contrasts with past cases like Gabby Petito’s, where online communities played key roles. Meanwhile, the NYPD continues its investigation, releasing surveillance footage and offering a $10,000 reward for tips.
“Making money on the misfortune of others” is a way too charitable way of describing what he was doing.
He was making money by making people die. Often in slow, excruciating ways that drained them and their families of all of their wealth and hope along the path.
it’s the for profit medical system that drains their wealth moreso than the insurance. it’s just much harder to find someone to put a bullet or 2 into for that particular one.
I mean yes but UHC in particular was horrible about it. And by horrible I mean they went from average to three times worse than the industry average with this guy in charge. I think even your average insurance company CEO would hate to be compared to him.
the underlying system is the reason these parasites have this kind of power. Yes they would find another way to be a drain on society without it but would they be mass murderers?
because he was the lowest paid and got what he deserved?
Whiel the for profit medical system isnt helping the insurance companies are making it a hell of a lot worse. They are basically working as a flat x4 modifier on how shtty it is.
I mean all insurance is a scam but how bad could it be if you had affordable healthcare in the first place?
Thats exactly the flaw in your thoughts, medical prices are pretty well correlated with what the average that folks can afford when insurance isnt a factor I believe its Singapore who has a system like that. The problem accurs with insurance working as an amplifier to a kinda shit system.
Yeah we get charged a huge amount, then the insurance companies pay the hospital some smaller amount after “negotiating”
If you go to the hospital and tell them you’re uninsured, your bill is drastically different from the insured billing. It’s all a fucking racket between for-profit hospitals, drug companies, pharmacies, and insurers.
And now it’s such a big racket that a 1/3rd(?) of our economy is tied up in it. And that also means 1/3rd of our retirement savings is tied to these shitmonster’s stock prices.
It’s those skimming off the top that keep the for profit system going.
