It's a common misconception that doctors are the big beneficiary of the broken US health system. In reality, the insurance companies, big pharma, and large hospital systems (primarily their top execs) are the big winners, not individual doctors.

If you ever question this, wait until an insurance company and large local hospital system get into a contract pricing negotiation dispute. All of a sudden, there will be an absolute slew of commercials from both sides slandering each other during sports broadcasts, which is some of the highest dollar local air time.

And who else constantly advertises during national NFL games? That's right, big pharma's latest (non-cure, constant re-dose required) drug lineup.

Also, it's often pointed out that the highest paid public employee in most states is the biggest university's football or basketball coach. However, the top officer of prestigious university hospital systems is often right up there with them. For instance, the President of the prestigious MD Anderson Cancer Center (affiliated with UTexas) makes over $5mil/year. Surely that's more than the Vermont football coach. And you can bet there's a bunch of other overpaid executive bloat leeching off the system with him.

Really interesting how everyone across the board (left, right, and center) EXCEPT for media companies are celebrating this as a CEO's well-deserved taste of their own overpriced medicine. I wonder who funds them.

It's almost like the media is meant to fuel meaningless discourse to prevent this from happening.

The one place really shaking their fingers is https://old.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/ which is funny for many reasons. A mod even had to change their flair because it was glazing a healthcare retard.

Everyone who lives in New York now has the God-given task to make sure all their normal friends who might be in a jury pool are well informed about jury nullification. It's common knowledge to us autists but a lot of people think there are consequences for telling the prosecutor "lulz no. Blow your evidence out your ass"

BCBS called off its anesthesia payout cap (CT only)

Lol at it being CT only. As if the rich fucks who live in CT are gonna perforate the head of BCBS. Wasn't the other state they were doing this in Alabama? I'd be more worried about them.

I have a feeling Healthcare people absolutely hate Breaking Bad because it made people think about what they'd do if they got cancer and just wanted to fuck shit up. Especially dangerous when the people you fuck over for a job have nothing to lose.

I interact with Doctors all day long, every day. Mostly dealing with backend non patient care, business stuff. Every single one of them LOATHES United Healthcare. Because just as much as they are fucking the customers. The patients. UHC is and does fuck the Healthcare providers. Repeatedly. Yeah,"Deny Delay Dismiss" they get that when trying to get paid. UHC uses monopoly power to strong arm everybody.

Most physicians would not piss on this guy if he was on fire.

I forget which stream it was, but Null once listed off a list of professions that, if he was told he had a Guillotine and could execute them all, but couldn't take a break, he'd be outside sweating his ass off beheading every single one of them; I think his top choice was bankers, he was on a rant about Visa, Mastercard, and Discover and how that's the true evil of the world. That was eye-opening.

Those are payment processors, not bankers.

Because journos are right behind them in the guillotine line. They know their restitution is coming swiftly.

It's hard to do opsec completely professionally especially in a big city like NYC - it is extremely hard to leave zero trace. There are very few people in the world that aren't professional hitmen that could do this kind of a hit and just walk off and only have 2 CCTV photos of them.

A professional hitman I doubt would even do the hit up close and would probably use an explosive, sniper rifle or some other method to begin with because getting up close and personal like this is an unnecessary risk to begin with when it is right outside a major hotel in NYC. But the attacker wanted to make a point and left bullet shells behind with a message and although they used fake ID they clearly didn't have access to super secret insider information - otherwise they could've just shot this nigga outside his house or some shit.

The reason why none of it makes sense is that the attacker isn't a typical person (hitman, crazy person with a gun, spree killer, serial killer). He has taken some steps, but not been 100% perfect but he's done damn well good for this in a city like NYC. People on the internet like to think of themselves as pro investigators and look at stuff like this and say "it doesn't make sense" and "he's a plant" and all sorts of shit - because they're used to typical things happening and seeing things that make sense. A good example of where things don't make sense is someone like Nasim Najafi Aghdam.

And again, as always the pro internet investigators with the ((((((((((they))))))))) want us to believe? who the fuck is they nigga? The NYPD have only put up a reward for 10k for this and multiple people in this thread have made reference to "three letter agencies" - guess what? I can't find any reference to the FBI or any other 3 letter agency even being part of the investigation into this. It's literally just the NYPD unless someone can point to a source saying otherwise.

Like what… So doctors shouldn’t get paid?

All this gay handwringing about “Muh profits” is uninformed and pointless. Health insurers are by law regulated to very low profit margins. I believe it’s 2% or 5% or something similarly ridiculously low.

If there aren’t profits in hospitals or medical clinics, who exactly do you think will build those?

Take something like methadone clinics. Even small sized American cities have a methadone clinic, even small cities often have several. You know why? Because there are money to be made and companies like to make money by meeting a need.

And the same goes for any kind of medical clinic. Even big hospitals are often for profit.

I... err... what? That's what i just said.

If there is money in the medical industry for outside profit then there is money to "build" hospitals. We also have things called loans, same applies. The stock market and 'companies as a commodity' is not the only way to pay for things. Hell, it isn't even the best or most sane. (well for anyone but big $$$ investors)
