    Murdering people because you disagree with them is definitely related to the moral breakdown happening in America. If you don't like your health insurance, just sign up with another provider.

    I agree that murdering people is related to the moral breakdown.

    Sometimes when the insurance is provided through work, simply signing up with different coverage isn't always an option.

    You don't have to sign up with the insurance provided through work. All the insurance companies would be happy to provide you with a policy.

    Clearly, if you have to pay $50 more per month, murder is an acceptable alternative.

    Financial situations might change that. It isn't that signing with different companies wouldn't be allowed.

    How does talking about cost difference in coverage go to murder? Lol, that's some lunacy.


    And it's not $50 a month. Employers will cover 78% of a plan, the exchange you get 0. Not only that, but if you are making over the limit and get no subsidy, you are not getting any pre-tax spend on your plan. So really, You'll being paying 5x-6x the cost going on your own - potentially $400 or more a month for an individual. You saying $50 is amazing - what universe are you talking about?

    Which is what we have been trying to explain to the leftists (we know you are just playing one, like you played a conservative under the @NewYorker user name) - regardless of whether it's $50 or $400 or any amount.

    Yes, murdering someone because you disagree with their business practices instead of signing up with another healthcare provider is lunacy.
    In California, a silver plan can be available for $39 per month, so I am talking about the universe in which California exists. There are plans for under $300 per month in Houston, per HealthCare.gov. The amount is irrelevant. The point is that people are free to chose their own plan, they are not locked into whatever a job offers (if the job even limits you to one plan, mine offers 3 or 4 different options).

    The amount is relevant given a person's financial situation and family depending on one for insurance needs.

    It's not relevant as a justification or excuse for murder.

    Agreed. No amount is an excuse or justification for murder.

    And no amount of money justifies denying twice the number of claims as the national average which is already too high. They justifying by trying to blame it on the AI is also inexcusable.

    There's just a lot of things inexcusable about everything involved.

    Thank you for your valuable judgment. It really means a lot. I see all the care you put into every thoughtful post you make here, and thus your opinion holds a lot of weight.

    That's b.s. - $39 plan is for catastrophic coverage - not the same as the plan you get via employer. And to say that paying an extra $300 a month in insurance premiums is a choice is just stupefying ridiculous. That's like telling a poor person they have a choice to live in a high rise or on the streets.

    You need to base your arguments in reality man.

    America’s President invades another nation - millions suffer and die and the invasion was prefaced on a lie…. America elects a man that has sexually assaulted numerous women and attempted to prevent the properly elected President from taking office …. America fought multiple wars over seas, financially supported and sold weapons to another nation using those same weapons right now….. but a rich CEO is shot and killed over 3 weeks ago - and the fact that Americans were indifferent means that America has lost it’s moral compass? LOL Okay

    Many Americans based on the last several decades have concluded that the government isn’t looking out for their best interests, the police and courts are not and businesses are not - so they really don’t care.

    None of what you just posted has anything to do with this murder. With that kind of twisted moral relativism, one could justify anything.

    It makes it impossible to have a real conversation with him.

    Murder one wealthy person it's a tragedy. Kill millions based on a false pretense war, it's a statistic.
