UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot outside Hilton hotel in Midtown in targeted attack: cops - Just Part and Parcel of visiting a Big City

In many countries you pay 1% of your income into the healthcare system. That’s a fucking bargain compared to what the average American gets shafted paying premiums for care they may, or may not, receive depending on the whims of whatever greedy insurance company runs your plan.

If you are unemployed, healthcare here is paid by municipality or gov. If you want to pay it your own it's like 60-100€/mo for full coverage. I don't know what bat shit crazy plan americans are on to think that healthcare should be insanely expensive and get nothing.

Am I the only one that finds it odd that the NYPD is releasing so much info. Usually the NYPD shares as little as possible (because most of it shows how incompetent they always are) but for this case they seem to be sharing every little bit of info they get as quick as possible. Before they even clear it as relevant or irrelevant to the case.

They are trying to find this dude by public means (aka, they don't have shit about him)

Because a rich fuckhead got clapped, and the suspect isn't black.

One of Robin Cook's novels is about a company which wants to dominate all aspects of healthcare from cradle to grave. I wish I could remember which of the many he has written it is. It's an old one but it seems prescient now.

I think it is "Vital Signs"

They are trying to get as much data from the public as possible, it tells you how little they know

The American system is literally the best in the world. Unlike in the UK we don't have to wait months to see so scummy government doctor.

My father recently started having seizures and the shortest wait he could find for a neurologist consultation was five months. My parents also idly remark on long wait times in other countries, but when I press them on the wait times here they shrug and say "Oh, it's just the way things are right now".

You're a dupe.

Why does it matter if they have his DNA? Unless he's already been to prison for murder or rape, that DNA is useless.

23 and Me has a dystopian collection of DNA information. I'm sure NYPD has already submitted a subpoena for any information matching the DNA they have. Even if the shooter didn't purchase a kit, they can still narrow down suspects if their family member bought and submitted a kit.

There was a case where someone's Aunt purchased a kit, her DNA was a partial match against a cold case for a rape that occurred twenty years ago in Alaska. She had a nephew in Maine, and when he detained, his DNA was a 100% match.

It’s only the best in the world for the rich. Doesn’t do you a damn bit of good if you go broke trying to use it or get just denied when you try to obtain this vaunted “best health care in the world.” It’s like me bragging about how awesome my neighbor’s mansion is, but he hates my guts and calls the police when I try to visit.

Honestly, do you work for Matt Walsh or the insurance industry? I hope someone is paying you to be such an enthusiastic lackey.


One thing most Americans don’t seem to understand about most “socialized medicine” is you have options. Most western countries offer a type of private insurance to subsidize the basic government healthcare. You pay $150 a month for private health insurance get what is equal to a gold plated Cadillac plan in the USA. The average person can rely on the basic government health system, those willing to pay a very reasonable premium get excellent care with no wait time. (Not having to wait is one of the biggest reasons people will opt for private coverage)

In many countries you pay 1% of your income into the healthcare system. That’s a fucking bargain compared to what the average American gets shafted paying premiums for care they may, or may not, receive depending on the whims of whatever greedy insurance company runs your plan.

Fuuuuuck 150 a month for golden insurance?

Bro so many Americans easily pay like 300 a month and cant even get a text back and the 300 a month they pay doesn't even cover the 5k you need to pay before the insurance "kicks in" but hey at least they give you two free yearly check ups (diagnostic testing not included)

If they find this guy, Biden has the opportunity to pardon him and potentially save his legacy.

No, it's funnier if this guy never gets caught, and he remains a cypher. This nations psyche has been so rat fucked by the idea that the all knowing government always gets their man. Half these people have honestly been proselytized by Law and Order in particular in regard to the competence of the NYPD. All the gunman had to do was mirror the pattern of every pavement ape gang banger in the city. The moment he cycled into central park, he may as well fast travelled back to whatever hovel in Appalachia he blew in from.

They won't find him.

 

[Captain Manning]

UnitedHealthcare received the second-highest amount of gibs from the Biden Administration behind Lockheed Martin. Dems are on the corporate side.

BOTH PARTIES ARE ON THE CORPORATE SIDE!

Your politicians, regardless of political party, are in the pocket of monied interests and have been for some time. Wake up people! The R vs D shit is bread and circuses meant to distract you.

And I'll tell you another thing too: If this assassination starts a trend, don't be shocked if you magically start seeing more Republicans supporting gun control. Your rights go out the window when money is shoved in the face of your leaders.

Hard agree. I don't think they have a fucking clue who he is and desperately want somebody to throw them a rope a name or something on who this dude is because the theory of him placing a shit ton of fake clues is really believable to me

You're a dupe.

Makes you wonder if they're really that busy or they only work like 1 day a month.

 

[BradCarter]

there was speculation he's really a gal...

I was there. It was a 6'5 Eskimo woman with blonde hair. I saw the whole thing and I'll testify to that in court.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

Bold of the NYPD to assume he put the bottle of water to his lips and didn't just let it fall on his mouth.

 

[neger psykolog]

Or everyone in the NYPD knows friends and loved ones who have been fucked over by health insurance companies and are fedposting in their private group chats while at work, doing nothing for this investigation and putting out a bunch of bullshit information to make it look like they care when they don't.

I think NYPD is a customer of UHG as well....

This is exactly why I don't go use social media for anything besides messaging friends. It's actual retards debating over arbitrary sides designed for division while the status quo slips further and further

 

[Meat Target]

That's because we are including illegal aliens, gang members, death fats, and soul food loving niggers.

All of those, Andrew Ditch, and the subjects of the Munchausens by Internet thread are the best arguments against universal healthcare.

They make up a rounding error of a percentage of the population.

NYPD is claiming it has "200 images" of the suspect:

edit:
nigga shot a CEO in broad daylight in the middle of NYC and apparently then took a taxi to the bus station and left NYC via bus lol

The man suspected of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel took a taxi to the Port Authority bus facility at 178th Street and boarded a bus out of New York City following the shooting, according to police.

Nah, dystopian is living in some faggot country full of retards where you don't have rights like free speech and get punished for saying nigger. Or living with a bunch of Muslim faggot retards while you pay insane taxes for your healthcare system that wants you to legit end yourself. Oh, your grandma broke her hip? Let her sit on the floor while this Muslim mutt mom with 20 kids complains that her kids have a stomach ache.

Lmao.

Dude, not everywhere is America or England.

There are countries that are conservative, and people have freedom of speech, and health care is affordable or free.

The health care system in the USA right now is quite bad, and that's the problem, are there countries that have it worse? Yes. A million times yes, but saying "oh but muh freedom" like that makes it alright, does not fly.

Acknowledging that there is a problem that needs to be fixed is probably a better way to make the USA an even better place to live than it is at its current state
