    Got caught in a reddit a wormhole where they don't think the images have anything to do with the shooters and NY has no idea about who or where this chap is.

    And you give them a choice between our system and their system and they will choose theirs. I know. I work with them.

    I'd rather wait for healthcare than be in major debt because I can't afford healthcare in the first place.

    My mom has medicare and supplemental. She pays a fraction of what it costs for a health plan and gets incredible care. Whatever doctor she wants to see, and she doesn't wait that long for appointments. And pays absolutely nothing out of pocket beyond the premiums. Crazy. Not even a co-pay.

    But the left still won’t care that he was killed. It’s not like he was a minority.

    Why is Trump so quiet over this? I thought he'd say "These things happen. It is what it is. Get over it." Or is that just when kids get gunned down?

    If he was a minority...then the right wouldn't care

    Yeah they would. They are the shareholders.

    I was just commenting on the left. Not propping up the right.

    This theory, while wild, lines up with my earlier point regarding how the killer knew exactly when and where Brian Thompson would be walking. That is quite a coincidence. Very low probability of getting it right... which suggests help and maybe even something even more sinister, such as Thompson ordering a hit on himself. Wild, but not out of the question, given the incredibly coincidental circumstances.

    I was in NYC, staying very close to where this happened. Was at a WEF meeting. Several of my friends there knew him. Said he was a good guy.

    Joe bidens FTC blocked more hospital mergers than any admin in modern history. Lina khan at the ftc blocked numerous united health acquisition and she ripped away corporations who abused their medical patents to jack up price. Khan sued the largest PBMs as she argued they unfairly raised prices on consumers.

    My issue with you is you're one of the dumbest people on planet earth who spews the same garbage in every thread cuz you have no idea what policy is being enforced. Lina khan at the ftc was the most anti status quo chair since the 1930s and it led to absolutely nothing. Braindead lefties like yourself didn't even pay attention to what she was doing even though you cry about corporate greed all day.

    I sincerely mean this when I say this that you are one of the dumbest people I've came across.

    This is true.

    Their systems are far from perfect, but they are better if you are not wealthy.

    As for their views of the American healthcare system - their view of a lot of things in America are extremely warped.

    Why would “the left” really care that he was killed? The majority of Americans don’t care about the guy… and if he is a Democrat, why would they care about him more?

    You have some weird ideas.

    Also the left wouldn’t care more if he were a minority- most Americans don’t like him because he was the CEO over a terrible health insurance company… not because he is white.

    Sometimes things are just simple.

    the only way they would care is if the CEO was a minority. They would probably call it a hate crime and blame Trump.

    It’s their favorite thing to do

    You have a strange obsession with anyone being concerned over the issues minorities face.
