Anthem pulled back that announcement about not covering all anesthesia real fucking quick when they saw the reaction to the news.

- I didn’t realize they actually backpedaled instead of just trying to brush it under the rug: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-care/anthem-blue-cross-blue-shield-time-limits-anesthesia-surgery-rcna183035

  AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
  
  *breathe*
  
  HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA
  
  I think they actually feel a little unsafe. Holy shit YES
  
  (It actually probably wasn't due to this. They only retracted the policy in one state)
  
  118
  
  To be clear, it never was and never will be the policy of Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield to not pay for medically necessary anesthesia services.
  
  yeah. sure, Bob.
  
  To be clear, we can smell your bullshit 100 miles away.

  Wow, can't believe they reversed course immediately. Their CEO just have been shitting bricks.
  
  32
  
  Unfortunately, I don't think that is quite nearly enough.
  
  I have the feeling insurers may want to review their existence as middlemen at all.
  
  13
- They’ll just wait for a better news cycle.
  
  21
- but CT only?

- Sounds like they’re finally aware that people besides their customers can die in agony

The American side of the internet has been absolutely savage today...and I fucking love it.

158
- Someone is pearl clutching at me on Bluesky for saying how delighted I am, and saying how this guy has a family. Well so so the people he denies health care to, especially this kid.

  "Have a heart, you mongrels! Are we condoning murder now?"
  
  Murder is for people. Extermination is for pests.

  It's worse, they fucking approved the chemotherapy, but not the anti nausea drugs for it. Absolute monsters, "oh we'll save your life kiddo, but we're going to make you suffer for it".
  
  32
  
  Screw his family. They're enablers and collaborators.

- If Kamala shot a health insurance ceo she’d’ve won every state. Economic populism is wildly popular here

  Instead she couldn't even commit to keeping Lina Khan on the job. That tea was weak.

if CEOs didn't want to be executed they shouldn't run their businesses so provocatively.

just sayin.

132
- Yeah, he should have thought about how he was dressed (in the blood of the insured) in that part of town.
  
  24
- This guy gets it
  
  12
- If it was a real oligarchy, the body has ways to shut it down.
  
  10
- CEO's getting shot is just a fact of life now. Much like our public shootings.

  only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a CEO with a gun!

- The public pays for coverage and expects to be covered. If the insurers think the cost is too high then they should just increase premiums instead of denying coverage under existing contracts. Simple like that.
  
  7
  
  Or, get rid of insurers completely and move to a single payer system without parasitic middlemen.

- More like "Frugally and correctly spent"

If Harris had promised to publicly execute every insurance CEO she'd have won.

53
- I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot a CEO, okay, and I wouldn't lose a single voter.
  
  Alternate universe Kamala Harris who wins in a landslide.

Aren't we supposed to celebrate when an evil person is brought to justice?

39
Tbh that is why we should make memes that casually mention this very tragic incident whenever health insurance companies suggest any policy that sucks more money out of ordinary people, nurses and doctors' pockets.

🎶 He had it comin’ 🎶

34
- He only had himself to blame.
  
  And I would definitely have done the same.

I'm not a psychopath but when I heard the BBC's coverage of it... I couldn't feel bad for the guy, if what they reported is true

23
- Don't feel bad at all.

  I love this doctor
  
  17
Is anyone doing merch for this yet?

21
- I'm working on it

  Deny, Defend, Depose, Die
  
  I would love wearing a shirt like that

- God I hope so.

Wait they're talking about lead in gasoline? I don't mainstream news much

14
- It used hence why boomers are so braindead and lack any common sense on how to run a functioning society.

  Don't forget the old lead water pipes. Because we didn't learn anything from the fall of the Roman Empire.

I sensing a consensus from today's CEO away.

The two words were written on the dust cover of the AR-15 rifle Braisford used to kill Shaver: “You’re fucked.”

same energy; other side of the short sharp stick

- The difference being that one was a filthy dirty cop doing filthy dirty cop shit, and the Adjuster who is a folk hero who deserves sainthood. Both sides my ass.

- Practice critical thinking and try again. You'll get why it's not the same eventually. I believe in you!
