  1. The proletariat uprising begins.

    F**k the healthcare system in the US, and f**k the corporate profiteers.

  2. Are we eating the rich already? Thank god, I was getting peckish.

  3. When they call this an assassination, you know the people that truly run the country.

  4. This seems targeted, maybe this makes getting pre-aproval for patients a little easier. sorry, not sorry

  5. It’s happening and I am for it

    “The Hamptons are not a defensible position. People will come for you” – Mark Blythe

  6. Late stage capitalism healthscam CEO? Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy

  8. Bad news: turns out the bullet wound is considered a preexisting condition

  9. I am going to bet that there was a loved one who was denied by United Healthcare and that loved one died

    Or the shooter is so deep in medical debt that he can’t afford to live

  11. United denied the anestesia for my colonoscopy. I told the lady on the phone (I felt bad because she was just a call center person) that “If i’m getting a kaleidescope shoved up my ass, don’t even give me the anestesia so I can enjoy getting fucked by my health insurance.”

  12. The French all got together once upon a time and said the final enough is enough. Is it time for Americans to do the same?

  13. May there be many more, the fall of the billionaire cabal has begun.

  15. I’m going to get banned for this…. but this is good for society.

    I don’t like violence. But these parasites that have exempted themselves from the justice system and do incredible harm to millions every year need to be reminded that they are, in fact, not untouchable.

    It’s good for society for these people to be touched every once in awhile.

  16. Gonna be hard to find who got personally screwed here!

  17. Someone’s healthcare coverage was denied. Everyone knows that this is the reason the man was shot.

    I had a friend who works for an insurance company who reviews cases and makes decisions on coverage. He’s one of the guys who says you get cancer treatment covered, or you don’t. He makes a metric shit ton of money playing with people’s lives. Meanwhile, in the civilized world, there’s no such thing as “preexisting conditions”. There’s no such thing as being denied coverage. There are no deductibles that need to be met before insurance kicks in. You pay for it, you get it.

    I saw a post a few days ago that a doctor made saying that a knee replacement surgery that was scheduled was canceled because the patient couldn’t afford the deductible. So now the patient will never run again. Walk long distances. Nothing. He’ll probably gain weight due to a loss of exercise. THIS IS AMERICAN “HEALTHCARE”! It sucks!

  18. The Fortune 50 being so heavily healthcare is not a result of these companies giving out as much cheap care as they can. 

    I work for their competition and I don’t see it as ethical (IE the PBM arms creating offshore GPOs to keep rebates from customers and pocketed by themselves)

    But I’m a lowly finance guy who just rolls forward my spreadsheets. I don’t get to make decisions is how I justify it.

    If I was CEO I couldn’t make that excuse.

  19. Why would someone do something so controversial yet so brave?

  20. Finally, a good billionaire! Now lets make other really good billionaires. 

    Im not sorry for this conviction of mine. Billionaires bought my government. Fuck billionaires. No sympathy here

  21. I never wanted people to die, but if the wealthy believed people would just shut up and suffer, then they have another thing coming. Desperate people are not easy to control.

  22. I wonder why they put the word in single quotation marks like that? Was the target not enough well-known?

  23. If GTAV has taught me anything, its that I need to buy stock today

  24. Imagine being so universally hated for who you are lol. This guy gets murdered and 99% of us are going to side with the killer because we all recognize that people like this kind of have it coming

  26. The last smallish healthcare company I worked for put in bullet proof glass and stronger doors in the ceo/senior leadership area

  27. I will play my microscopic violin, so small it requires an scanning electron microscope to be able to see it. BTW it was a professional hit, a suppressor was used. Most likely used 835fps 45 grain hollowpoint .22 rounds. So quiet its practically silent with the city background noise.

  29. Maybe this will be the shot heard round the medical, industrial complex.

  31. Awww, someone else is going to be pulling in his huge bonuses now

  33. So anyway… I’m thinking turkey sandwich for lunch, but Wednesday usually feels like a meatball kind of day….

  34. But, guillotines are so much neater though, I guess the alternative is more efficient

  35. After election day, I was pretty much ‘this country is completely beyond repair’. Now I have, dare I say, hope?

    Also HA-FUCKING-HA-HA

  39. Wondering if people who watch Healthcare CEO’s who make millions and get millions in compensation all while raising prices every year and covering less aren’t sending a message.

  41. Pissed off the wrong person I bet. State/Local employees in Colorado this year faced a potential lack of health insurance because United Health and HCA Healthcare had a stupid ass contract dispute. It must’ve been going on for months and I recall being notified that depending on where you went, you needed to make sure your insurance was being accepted otherwise you were held liable for 100% of the cost. This country is a fucking abomination when it comes to this industry. As I once read on here, this country is a 3rd world country rocking a Gucci belt.

  42. Ohhhh, noooo….. So anyway, how about them Yankee’s?

  43. I’m thinking that treatment for his gunshot wounds won’t be “medically necessary.”

  44. It’s a little scary that people are seemingly supporting this, or at least making it seem like it’s ok.

  46. Check the other 5 Heathcare families. This was a contract appointment by some button men.

  49. unfortunately, or maybe not, I think we are going to see more of this happening, people are fed up with billionaires making decisions that hurt the working class while getting millions in bonuses for making those decisions. Close a Plant, lay off 300 workers, get a $100,000,000.00 bonus for doing it.Deny cancer patients health coverage, get a bonus. Politicians that vote to take away protections for previous conditions, take away your SSI,medicare,medicade,repeal same sex marriage, block access to birth control, let women die from miscarriages, these are all people who will have targets on their backs.

  50. Hopefully, the hospital nor the ER doctors he was taken to was in the United Healthcare network. Those out-of-network charges can be substantial but unlike his insureds, his $24+ million annual compensation package means he could afford it.
