He worked for a company that redistributed wealth for covering healthcare costs, but kept too much for themselves pushing some people into debt, and that company is still operating exactly the same today as it was before.
He and the rest of the organization’s bigwhigs chose policies that don’t cover the costs of a comparatively small number of people’s medical care. As did the guy who took his place.
Luigi killed him for that and nothing changed. Why are we supposed to cheer for nothing changing?
If that was his best try then very clearly some of us are putting our support behind the wrong guy.
You know some of these replies to me are just mask off Tankies, right? That should really put into perspective what sort of people promote this guy: people who don’t want to fix US healthcare but rather people who want to tear down the state.
Things that would be infinitely better use of your money than a rich kids’ legal defence:
Bernie Sanders’ campaign contribution
Childrens Research Hospital Donation
Printing up and distributing localized Union instructional pamphlets
Things specifically better for ending privatized healthcare:
Volunteering for DNC and informing people of the differences in platform between the GOP (pure privatization platform) and the DNC (would have already passed single payer a decade ago if they had even one more vote than the 58 DNC and 1 IND)
Bernie Sanders has been campaigning for change for decades to absolutely no effect. After a while you have to assume that all the rest of the people in government don’t actually want change. And will resist it unless they feel unsafe. It’s the 4 boxes of liberty.
You’ve stood on the soap box, used the ballot box, sat in the jury box, but things are still broken. Only the cartridge box remains.
Yeah but if enough people follow suit, then you might actually get some real change. Either because the insurance companies are terrified of retribution or because the government takes a hint (that is assuming you actually get another election).
Besides even if he is found guilty (which I’m not sure he is considering he was having breakfast with me at the time of the shooting). A good legal team could still negotiate for a lighter sentence or better conditions.
Ok so he has money, he has more than enough to treat his own condition. He did what he did because he’s seen so many other people suffer needlessly. He’s a good guy and people feel good helping him out. Let them.
And then one day he got up and decided to never do it again. He threw away any positive impact he could ever make on the world. He threw away his Ivy League Rich Boy education. It’s all worthless in the shadow of petty revenge, to Luigi Mangione.
Thats not even UHC that was Anthem BCBS and they published the policy change on Thursday while Brian was murdered on Wednesday so unless you think they wrote up changes, held board meetings, and went through the review process as a medicaid provider in under 24hours then it wasn’t even related.
You should go listen to some of the shit the UHC suits have been saying, its been the polar opposite of apologetic, Brian might as well have been martyr to them.
Oh, he wasn’t a random guy. He was a mass murder. As in present tense at the time he was executed
He worked for a company that redistributed wealth for covering healthcare costs, but kept too much for themselves pushing some people into debt, and that company is still operating exactly the same today as it was before.
He intentionally chose policies that killed people. Boohoo. He got we He deserved.

We’re cheering for someone actually fucking doing something to try to change that instead of whining on the Internet.

Okay, so what’s your plan to improve things and what steps have you taken towards implementing it?

And which of these have you done?

Might maybe possibly kind convince a few people to reconsider
Fuck that, theres way better ways than giving to those who have more than enough.
Ok so he has money, he has more than enough to treat his own condition. He did what he did because he’s seen so many other people suffer needlessly. He’s a good guy and people feel good helping him out. Let them.
Treat his own…?
What the fuck are you talking about? This crowdfunding goes towards his legal defence because he’s in jail for MURDER.
The guy spent a large part of his free time on Reddit helping other people with his congenital spine condition navigate their insurance claims.
And then one day he got up and decided to never do it again. He threw away any positive impact he could ever make on the world. He threw away his Ivy League Rich Boy education. It’s all worthless in the shadow of petty revenge, to Luigi Mangione.
iirc they changed one of their policies shortly after his death. I think it was insulin or something but I can’t remember.
Yes, there were definitely positive changes after their CEO was executed with popular support
Can’t find anything anywhere indicating that. The last time they walked back a policy to my knowledge was in 2023.
It was for Anesthesia.
