    I hope this case gets some attention too. This is some ginned up bullshit. We can’t let them stomp us into silence.

    I’m not celebrating a murder, this is some fucked up shit in many dimensions and I would prefer a different timeline.

    But remember we are not children who need to bow our heads and take our scolding.

    For-profit insurance companies are liable for the deaths they cause. Full stop.

    How’s that for moral clarity?

      You can though, no one will stop you.

      This specific murder It isn’t morally wrong. It isn’t hypocritical. It isn’t compromising some foundational pillar of being a human.

      Those who stand at the top of a capitistic, private healthcare industry made a choice to create, perpetuate, secure, and promote a system which resulted in deaths of millions for the benefit of shareholders and themselves.

      You don’t have to qualify your indifference or quiet your support. There is no moral quandary here.

      This has literally helped people already. Anthem undid an anesthesia policy reform which would have not covered it in procedures after a certain amount of minutes
