People are not upset because he is a CEO of a company that takes people’s money every month; but when they need medical attention, they don’t agree to pay for that treatment. This leads to a ton of extra financial stress beyond whatever treatment they needed.

I get why people don’t care that this man was murdered. People feel trapped by these insurance companies. Not saying it was right to murder, but I understand their POV.

My wife is a nurse at a doctors office that treats cancer. Her role involves getting insurance approval for treatments. Most of the time, she needs to explain why the patient needs the treatment and negotiate with insurance companies. Many time she needs to apply, on behalf of the patient, to charities to get the funding for their life saving treatments. These insurance companies do everything they can to not pay. I believe they do not care if people get treated or not.

Your wife is an angel and has the hardest job. ☹️ It is unfathomable what so many families go through. But I think this murder may unite the country. As crazy as that sounds.

Conservative talking heads tried to paint the "support" as a liberal thing and their followers disagreed. Saying they are all out of touch. Truly anyone with wealth just doesn't face any of the health care problems the rest of us do. I know wealthy people who just pay out of pocket!! for their healthcare.

Paying out of pocket if your health and have the cash. Is smart.

Maybe BTC can fix this too 😉

At the end of the day. It is just another money problem. (Sorry for some many reply’s)

That's true! Eventually/theoretically paying out of pocket should work if the prices were reasonable.

You know you don’t have to buy insurance. It’s a service they offer. If people choose to buy it, it’s because they think the service is valuable to them.

Maybe you are very talented and will be able to create a company that is more “righteous” and you’ll be able to provide insurance service that is even more beneficial to people. However, the current revenue margins of the health insurance companies is about 5% so it won’t be easy.

In the USA it is the law, you need to buy insurance. Also The problem is buying something and then not getting the service you paid for. Health insurance is a scam. It cause media price to increase unnecessary.

So fight against the law that requires to buy one.

And if in the current market people buy insurance and then they don’t get the service they paid for - that sounds like a great business opportunity. Someone should consider opening an insurance company that always provides the service as promised. Such company would win over all the customers and make fortunes.

Don’t you think?
