I now unsarcastically, unironically believe in the second amendment.

While assassinating someone on the street like that is not a good thing to do, the ultimate outcome may be that health care approval MAY get better (or not!).

Well, while I like the underdog revenge aspects, the shooter was a back shootin' dry gulcher. I don't have much respect for that. Especially an amateur like that who got caught after making rookie mistakes. Kids today have no pride in being professional...

I say it's "Surgical precision." Noone innocent died and they didn't die at the hands of people who were supposed to protect and provide from them. And unlike the people killed by Thompson, the victim wasn't innocent.

I had United Health Care thru my employer for decades.
They did OK, total knee replacement, heavy duty shoulder repair, cataract surgery, detached retina surgery. And that's just what I remember for me. I'm sure there was more.
For the wife, two total knee replacements and a bunch of other stuff.

I had no complaints for UHC.

Justified killing then? The guy was a rich dude making money from insurance. Our politicians are much worse. So who decides? I don't think this really sends a message to rich insurance guys. They'll just get better security. The only way this would change would be to do our medical system another way. And I don't mean commie/socialistic either. If everyone wanted to change it, it would change.

This all began with Obamacare. Don't hate the player, hate the designer.

That is what I saw somewhere. It is due to Obamacare.
I have a cousin who has a software company. He is well off. His insurance rates for him, wife and 4 children were outrageous.

It reminds me of a woman who was on city council in Denver. Hispanic, lesbian whose family had owned a particular property for generations, and filled in with spaces for extended family to live there, a compound. It sits on a fairly major road. She had decided that she was going to push an agenda that white business owners were going to be taxed extra somehow and that money was going to be given to minority business owners. She didn't get re-elected. Someone told me that she didn't actually live in Denver, but lived in Aurora, but received mail, etc. at the family compound. That came up in the campaigning and women were livid about it. They had been to meetings at the family compound. They knew she lived there. Too many people knew otherwise.

Heh. my kid is an anarchist to make his daddy proud of!
Seriously though, murder is generally a bad thing, but something odd is going on, last month ALL my primary care providers dropped United, and back in the spring they cut out my food card, coincidence?
Better explain it, kid, show your sources.

I'm in Aurora now

 

[Magus]

Been out stargazing? I hear we have operators there.

Wow, I couldn't disagree with you more.

 

[Caribou]

While I can’t condone murder, I have a hard time feeling sorry for the guy.

What kind of world have we become where we are rationalizing cold blooded murder? It is wrong, period.

I agree, murder is wrong. It is just hard to feel bad about the death of the head of an insurance company, that has probably killed an untold number of people by denying them medical treatment.
