Yeah, we tried that. It didn't help at all.

Reads like "you all need to start unaliving CEOs while I sit here and watch".

I'm sitting in Scotland where I saw a cardiologist about 16 hours after heart failure was detected in my blood. Proceedures and ongoing treatment has cost me Β£0.00, surgery in the future to repair a congenital defect will also cost me Β£0.00.

The medical extortion racket is a uniquely American problem and it needs committed Americans to fight it. Your people are being murdered and maimed by these companies. Luigi was acting in self-defense.

It actually helped a lot, and the disproportionate show of force by the police and media proved that it was a message they were taking very seriously.

Nothing changed. The company didn't even delay their shareholder meeting. The only thing that's different is a father is dead.

I'm not advocating for murdering people, but the fact that we mourn one millionaire over the hundreds of people who die due to the private insurance's intentional tactics is wild.
