Today’s UnitedHealth Group fraud allegations only further confirm how broken, deceptive, and decrepit is the US “healthcare” system.

Big insurance, big pharma, big agriculture, and the federal government collude to create a highly lucrative and patient harming network.

It’s despicable and disgraceful.

It cannot be saved by political means.

A hard reboot to free market principles and the provider-patient relationship are desperately needed.

Since the CEOs murder. The company has only loss 75 billion in market value. I wish the Apes would take them to zero.

The machine can’t be reformed Jeff. It must be unplugged.

lots of people have picked COVID as an inflection point in history, and for sure it has been.

but to me the larger moment was Luigi Mangione.

I have still not quite understood the significance.

but it’s something to do with individualism, agency, tyranny, and the singularity.

one man, using technology of today, affecting all of society. the message was written in blood and most looked away after engaging in the spectacle.

but if we keep looking… what are we seeing?

I don’t like what’s happening. The masses turn to the figureheads instead of the systems, and this leads to violence.

If people think that is effective… where are we going next?

I heard somewhere that, “you cant fix a system from within that system.”

I think thats right.

So you're saying a horde of barely trained bureaucrats wielding other people's money like a T-shirt-gun at a concert cannot reliably build a sustainable public healthcare system? Shocking indeed

I wanna hard reboot them so hard

I’m in healthcare and I agree.

🤝

I fully agree with the first 3 paragraphs.

On the fourth: Plenty of countries changed their healthcare systems for the better through political means. In fact, what other way would you propose?

On the fifth: Healthcare is always going to require insurance. Because people who are severely ill/injured aren't in a position to negotiate with providers on the basis of free market principles. And insurance will always require regulation and supervision because it otherwise invites all kinds of fraud, and not just the type (allegedly) committed by $UNH.

I think the $UNH case just illustrates the lack of such effective oversight. This is not impossible to fix. Plenty of countries seem to do a decent job of it.

i mean, someone did try by epstein-ing their ceo...

food supply from hunters is a good start
