United Healthcare CEO murder.....

[Rogar]

I have wondered how much medical doctors and specialists actually make and have, and of course googled whatever stats the internet will tell you. My impression is that it's nice, but not all that great compared to mid-level corporate America or high tech. I had a primary care physician I really liked and once called to get a recording that he had left private practice for financial reasons. I see a dermatologist twice a year and another specialist and they are booked months ahead of time.

I think there is a shortage of physicians, for one reason being they may not be compensated for the level of education and devotion required. And also they basically just want to do medicine and avoid all of the insurance and paper work bureaucracy. Anyway, I don't think anyone is soaking anyone else, it's just a giant of bureaucratic tangle.

Maybe RFK, Jr. will make a difference if we don't all die from bird flu first. I think the current regime is privatization over government control.

It seems to be more common for doctors to be employed by big hospital groups, which means they get regular hours
(of course, depending on specialty) and don’t have to worry about the stuff involved with owning a private practice.

How long until we see a “Law and Order” episode based on this?

I wonder if he will have a story to tell about a medical situation that motivated him. Or he could be just another angry man.

I see Ted Cruz has called it anti-capitalism and said "leftism is a mental disease". I suspect The Family is looking to privatize Medicare administration and he's getting in political favor with The Boss.

LOL, I think an accurate descriptor stands on its own merit and has no need of ulterior motives.

Yeah, funny how some others would say conservatives have deficient mentality because they just call peoples names like school children. Like Lyin Ted, which possibly had no motivation. These guys live in a world of agendas and it goes both ways.

From my point of view as a senior I can be glad the conservatives have not had their way, even if we're a bunch of communists.

Looks like the guy they’ve taken into custody is a unibomber fan who carries around his own manifesto against the health insurance industry. Your basic self-appointed nut job terrorist.

The “I’m against violence, but…” people will accord him folk hero status for fifteen minutes and move on to something equally ridiculous.

okay----yes, it didn't take long for the cops ta catch up with Fonzarelli or whoever. Early on, I just KNEW that big roman nose of his was gonna be his downfall. He shoulda worn a theatrical mask to disguise himself, and completely avoided stopping for Cwaffee and stuff, and just kept walking. Not discarding anything he had handled, either, until he was free and clear of that whole area, where the manhunt was on. Otherwise, they'dve had a very hard time making the connection. Like the old saying..."Very smart, Mr Smart; but not smart enough" Yup. Well, maybe they'll give him Ted's old cell at the SuperMax. Thankk mee.

okay----they have a susspect, named Guido Mancini or whatever, and during the perp walk, he yelled at reporters: "I don't know what this is all about; they say that someone killed an insurange guy; I'm just a patsy!" So, yeah---it sounds like he's being framed for what was an inside job by his co-workers. A perfect set-up, and the only real evidence is that he's italian. See? I'm also sitting here, wondering if that snitch at mickey dees is going to get the reward money? Probably not.

Okay----Some photos(see photos). He's just a patsy. More evidence. 2024-12-11.jpg2024-12-11 (2).jpg Thankk mee. Yup.
