My personal policy doesn't cover caring about CEOs. Perhaps he should have gone premium..
LittleChickadee
For one beautiful moment, the *entire* nation was truly unified! Someday, politicians here will realize fighting balls-to-the-walls for single-payor/Medicare for all will be worth election paydirt!

We need to expand the idea of "remember, we can always just kill you" to all billionaires
CobainsSarcoma
the only way this incident would be any more humorous was if the guy had been raped to death by a gorilla instead of getting shot. and that has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that gorilla death rape is never not funny.

Yeah, I know a bunch pf people who work at Optum/UHG, and the mood there is somber.
prfesser
Happy thought: for the rest of their lives, every one of these bastards will wonder if the person walking toward them is about to kill them.

"see what it feels like to be absolutely powerless?"
thedudeman519
Why are cops even trying to find the guy. I thought they loved the Punisher? /s
telemonianajax
I like the name The Adjustor for this guy.

The chef in our restaurant brought it up during family meal and our whole team cheered.

As an over-the-phone bilingual medical interpreter, even your disclaimers need to die.

Could be worse, we could tell them we value their lives as much as they value ours.
gummbunn
I wish we could find out what they're actually thinking right now
boognish115
This is such a “let them eat cake” moment.
ArdentSlacker
Pfft. They didn't even delay the meeting he was supposed to lead.
THUB
That feels extremely on-brand

The meeting was pre-existing, you really think they're gonna do anything for it?
Fairemont
They had his profile off the website by end of day.

If you die at your desk, your job will be posted before your obituary is.
newsguycraigevans
The corporation keeps chugging along. The CEO is just the best paid cog in the machine. A part that can and will be replaced.
jadanks
I can only imagine what their billionaire friend group chats are looking like right now. The things i would do to see what they are saying and how badly they are scared and panicking right now…
LychFinderGeneral
They're a combination of furious and fantasizing to each other about punishing the plebes for joking about this stuff, I guarantee it.
PourMeAPuppersPlease
I doubt those scumbags are worried in the slightest, only one ceo got shot. Now if 20 or more ceo's had been shot, then they might care.
jonlancaster
PourMeAPuppersPlease
Haha, I think we're all waiting! Get the crowd funder going!
ThatShiftyMonkey
Just jockeying for position to take their spot. All about the power and money. It didn't hapoen to them directly, so they don't actually care.
SkidMarc25
Yeah, a family member was saying "They shouldn't be making jokes, a person is dead who had family who loved them" and my sister pointed out his "Loving Family" is more likely concerned about the state of their inheritance.
WeirdStray
I'm not even from the US, and still laughing my ass off over the memes
wrennsteven61101
Wondering who is submitting their resume' to replace him?
yellowtoolboxblackbag
Better yet, are they accepting nominations?

Well if you can't laugh at a person being murdered on the streets of New York what hope is there left for humanity?

Remember when Trump joked about shooting someone in the middle of NYC and getting away with it? Turns out it's actually really funny.
tachyx
The prospect of getting rid of these monsters is our hope. The unfortunate reality is that this will just be a one off.
QWTFODDBALL
You think they don't laugh about all the money they make by killing people through health care denials?
astrangehop
I think this would make a tiny square in a randmcnally textbook. [In 2024 a health care CEO got assassinated and most of the public laughed]
mrgreen326
Our former and next president thought he could do it and not lose a single voter
thedudeman519
Reminds me of a scene in Joes Apartment when main dude is walking over a "dead body" and trips. It's just some due doing a "performance art" piece lmao
clemdarkstarzero
Depends on the person. Personally if that person led a good life, no I would never laugh, if they worked for a corporation that put money over people, that led people to suffer, then yes I admit. I do find it ironically funny
MCpeepantz
Should take a note from Brutus and mint a coin. One for each claim they denied while the dude was CEO. Then use the proceeds to fund those they denied.
Malak224
NineByNine
Oh I don't find it ironically funny. I find it earnestly funny :3 and also inspiring.
theworldcouldbeflat
None, the whole thing seems like a distraction cause the start of Fallout is happening.
Zeplin
I mean, I'm reporting every pro-murder post I see under "hateful ideology".
Not sure why you basement dwellers think murder is fine as long as it happens to people you dislike.
Blackheartedsilphy
LumpPump
its not that i dislike them, its the fact that they kill so many people by proxy cause they make them choose between their life or bankruptcy when they deny the claims for the smallest of reasons& even installed an AI to deny the claims so they get denied for things as small as a spelling mistake now. tell me why you think it is okay when they kill people by proxy? why its okay no one can take them to court& win or they'd pay a tiny fine that doesn't even fit the crime& allow them continue killn
obijan
It's part of the social construct.
We're using the classic system:
The rich let everybody have decent standard of living in exchange for not being disembowled in the streets in front of their family.

Hey, could you please explain why the book you quoted promotes sex slavery?
In Numbers: 31, Moses, the guy who claimed to receive ten commandments from sky daddy, asks Israeli soldiers who returned from war with captured people to kill men and women, and to keep virgin girls as sex slaves for themselves. A priest by Moses' side then asks the soldiers for God's share in sex slaves to be given to the priests, including Moses.
Please explain why every copy of this book shouldn't be burned down.
graehall
hey look, a quote from that book full of slavery genocide and rape presented as virtuous
amyamazeballs
Not funny
Tyrann01
Correct. It's not funny, it's hilarious.
MyVerySmarterUserName
Cancer patients fighting both their cancer and the insurance companies is not funny, but that CEO enjoyed it very much. He set the tone of this whole farce. We’re following along.
Catterverse
It's another one guys. Man the harpoons.
AreYouABadPerson
You're right. It's fucking hilarious.
ReaperCDN
Then why am I laughing so hard still?
worm61
It very much is.
Peekari
It's very funny
Larktonguesinadicecup
It may not be funny necessarily, it is a serious matter. I'm not laughing personally, just hopeful that this leads to a pattern, and actual change.
PunkRage
Seens pretty fuckin funny to me. Maybe he should have bought a bullet proof vest with his over abundance of wealth, poor planning in my opinion
Tyrann01
If he didn't want to be shot, he shouldn't have gone out dressed like that. He was asking for it.
billstranger
He was asking for it, did you see how underdressed (for bullets) he was?
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
Possibly other healthcare execs as well. I sure as hell hope so, 'cos your system is completely and utterly unsustainable in USA.
BlackHoleSon01
You could kill every insurance executive in America and not change the system in the slightest.
Want a better solution? Vote. Every single election, for every single office.
Don't like high--deductible health plans? Don't ever vote for a republican; that little innovation comes from them.
davidseavey726
I hope this will change things in americas healthcare for the better and sorry his death doesn’t make me happy but not losing sleep either

It's a fucking crime against humanity is what it is.

Doubt it. Probably view it as an isolated incident. Need more occurences.

Gonna take more than one murder to make them drop their blindfolds made of money....

Oh wow, he was willing to be the crappiest person for the lowest payout? Well, at least that issue solved itself to some peoples' satisfaction.

Let's start a CEO deadpool! Make things a little more interesting! I'll put $5 down on the highest paid parasite!
pareidoliaperson
Can I be the CEO of this pool?
pm1001
Yup, killing a CEO will totally fix the USA health care system /s. It will make it worse.
QuintinParry
Tell that to the French monarchy... oh, wait that might be kind of hard since they lost their heads. When those at the top of our society consider the rest of us expendable it is time for them to be removed and we know they won't just voluntarily step down.
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
I am not convinced it could make it worse. It's pretty damned bad already...
pm1001
A) more security means prices will go up b) security checkins at clinics like at airports, no bags, arrive 1 hour early... If it gets real bad trump will use it as an excuse to declare a national emergency and impose martial law (his Reichstag fire). He is just begging for an excuse
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
As mentioned, I am not convinced of that.
Malak224
The more they pull…
ILoveKiwiBirds
First point- this is an industry where price paid and cost of service are not related. Second point - if someone is looking for an excuse, they'll find it. Regardless of the authenticity of the reason. May as well get some good done first.
pm1001
Will use increased security as an excuse to raise rates
