The laziest revolution is dancing on graves

Get the Full StoryWe voted for this healthcare system. Like it or not, UnitedHealthcare s CEO was doing what the system pushes maximizing profits.

When the news first broke, I was appalled three times after hearing about the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. First, that this man was gunned down in the streets and his killer was at large. Second, when I learned that UnitedHealthcare rejects 33 of its claims, over five times that of competitors like Kaiser Permanente, which has a 6 claims rejection rate. Lastly, what shocked me most was seeing some people in a comedy Facebook group I m in celebrating his death. One post featured a meme saying, I hope he dies, in response to news that he was shot.
