  1. I said this elsewhere but Americans have know it has sucked for years. Sad that it takes a gunned down CEO to really hit it with a spot light.

    Almost makes you wonder what other CEO deaths will help out America or at least start getting more people to realize how fucked the entires system is.

    CEOs beware, you’re being watched.

  2. >The American Medical Association and its compatriots [greatly preferred](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10810293/) the country to cover most people through private employer-sponsored insurance over a government program and fiercely lobbied to smother the latter in the crib. They tolerated the creation of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965 to cover populations that were otherwise uninsurable, but would come together again to [stop](https://www.princeton.edu/~starr/20starr.html) the Clinton health reform effort in the 1990s.

    The licensing cartel hates government run healthcare. hmmmmm…..
