If these two are getting 100 years then Austin Wolf is going to be an interesting one. He was doing the same damn shit. Prolific purveyor of child porn and actively having sex with them too.

No one said it was 41% of everyone. It's been reported in almost every newspaper as 41% of the 18-29 year old's in that survey thought the killing to be acceptable. That's all I was going by. I think you missed your calling though.

41% of that group thinks the CEO getting gunned down is 👍. If you truly believe that the CEO is killing people in mass then you'd also probably believe that Mangioni was morally justified to do what he did too.

Wait times in universal coverage systems Data from other nations show that universal coverage does not necessarily result in substantially longer wait times. In fact, there are a variety of circumstances in which the United States’ peer nations have shorter wait times. The most comprehensive source of international comparative data on health care is the Commonwealth Fund’s “Mirror, Mirror” series, which, in 2017, examined a variety of metrics across 10 European countries and the United States. Four of these metrics were particularly useful for studying wait times.13 Patients reported that they saw a doctor or nurse on the same or next day the last time they sought medical care. Doctors reported that patients often experience difficulty getting specialized tests—for example, CT and MRI scans. Patients reported that they waited two months or longer for a specialist appointment. Patients reported that they waited four months or longer for elective or nonemergency surgery. On each of these metrics, the United States performed worse than several nations with universal coverage, though no individual nation outperforms the United States on every metric. For example, only 51 percent of U.S. patients reported being able to see a provider within a day, compared with 53 percent, 56 percent, and 67 percent of patients in Germany, France, and Australia, respectively.14 Similarly, nearly 30 percent of U.S. doctors reported that their patients have difficulty getting a specialized test, compared with only 11 percent and 15 percent of doctors in Australia and Sweden, respectively.15 U.S. outcomes on the other two metrics were better across the board but still show that the United States performs worse than other nations with more equitable health care coverage systems. For instance, in the United States, 4 percent of patients reported waiting four months or longer for nonemergency surgery, compared with only 2 percent of French patients and 0 percent of German patients.16 For specialist appointments, the situation is even worse: 6 percent of U.S. patients reported waiting two months or longer for an appointment, compared with only 4 percent of French patients and 3 percent of German patients.17

A recent study by Yale epidemiologists found that Medicare for All would save around 68,000 lives a year while reducing U.S. health care spending by around 13%, or $450 billion a year. Medicare for All spending would be approximately $37.8 trillion between 2017 and 2026, according to a study by the Political Economy Research Institute (PERI) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. That amounts to about $5 trillion in savings over that time. These savings would come from reducing administrative costs and allowing the government to negotiate prescription drug prices. Other studies by think tanks and government agencies have analyzed single-payer proposals at the state and federal levels. Most found Medicare for All would reduce our total health care spending. Even a study by the Koch-funded Mercatus Center found that Medicare for All would save around $2 trillion over a 10-year period.

There is supplemental plans like Medicare Advantage. At any rate, I think if the rest of the world figured this out then so can we.

Simple. Medicare for all.

In light of the Murder of the Healthcare CEO Michael Moore is giving away free copies of the movie Sicko.

I agree his looks will play a part but he done fucked over a very powerful person and the Powers that be need to set an example. Even if the Jury Deadlocks the Government will just keep trying till they get their conviction.

Insurance CEO's and Board members have not and will not be held responsible for any of it. I the law helps to oppress, cause mass undue suffering, kill, and there is no remediation or political will to change those laws, then it is moral to go outside of those laws. If there was a way to bring these guys and their to justice or prevent them form causing future suffering or death, then it would be different.

The dead CEO was using AI to falsely deny the majority of healthcare claims in order to make more money for himself. People have been injured, killed, and gone into bankruptcy because of him personally. I think this has opened up a much bigger conversation besides just an entitled rich guy killing someone though. If anything good can be taken out of this is that this country can still come together no matter left or right.

That's news to me and I used to work in the back surgery industry until recently. I will say that new technology has made many improvements and changed many lives for the better. I will say my Dad got the lower back surgery years ago and it caused him lots of chronic pain where he was downing drugs like oxycodone to the point it was hard to even talk to him sometimes. He was strong silent type but I couldn't imagine.

He still was a shady character though. A very wealthy guy thanks to insider trading and a top of the record insurance denials. Maybe the message should be... don't hate the player. Hate the game.

Almost all Canadians still support Universal Healthcare though.

I don't understand your need to fear monger or why your even preaching this here. I've never heard anyone say that the meds or just reducing your viral load was a cure. Those cases will always be there for whatever reasons. Drugs, alcohol, rape, etc which has nothing to do with someone thinking there was cure for it.

Jesus. I thought it only went so far as downloading child porn which is bad enough. It looks like he was actively making the porn himself.

Not according to the reviews. Usually just that will end someone but never stopped guys like kirk Cameron either I guess. 🫣

I'd say that many more if not most were very satisfied with the Resolution of his last conviction. At least he got to use his celebrity friends and wealth to get the best Justice that money can buy.

I do understand the attraction to younger guys. However, to limit yourself saying you wouldn't even consider anyone over 30 seems weird and just sad and lonely to me.

"am easy if u want to party a bit 😈😈" I've never met a tweaker that has that kind of body or at least for long.

Me too! I'm still looking for my sugar Daddy that will just pay my bills. Remote would be nice. Maybe come into town and take me to dinner every now and then at a classy Restaurant though to renew our relationship. Let me know if you find some guys.
