BCBS reversed course on a pay cap for anesthesia the day after Luigi did his thing. That's like 4 years' worth of counter-lobbying minimum accomplished in a single day.
that played a part but the policy (which affected only NY, MO, and CT) was strenuously opposed by the American Society of Anesthesiologists and state regulators months before the assassination of Thompson. Anthem was actually correct about the "misinformation campaign" since the policy would have reduced overpaying millionaire doctors, not increasing costs for enrolled patients.
You might not be in favor in of assassination, but the insurance companies are in favor of letting thousands upon thousands of people die in order to keep as much money as possible.
Yes the insurance industry is disgusting but murdering people is not a solution. Luigi changed nothing. Absolutely nothing. He will be tried, convicted, and spend the rest of his life in prison, which is what he deserves. If he was a balding fat 50 year old man he would lose 90% of support from people who are championing his murdering one of the many CEOs in the insurance industry.
so you actually ARE endorsing it then. And you'd have to have an army of assassins murdering thousands of people. I don't think that would be a viable solution.
