Little children with cancer had to throw up again and again and again and again and again little children with cancer throwing up over and over and over again, and this fucking asshole insurance company would not cover meds. Kill another one.
I've read strident anti-capitalist dystopian 'zines that were more subtle than this. We are being killed for money. Appropriate response to that is appropriate, just don't punch down.
I mean yeah they're technically unnecessary for you to survive, but that's the problem with the phrase "medically necessary". Healthcare isn't just about "being alive at all".
I wager that he'll be treated like royalty in the slammer if they don't Epstein him. The guards probably have horror stories of denied claims, and the Gen pop wouldnt bother him
Imagine being so barbaric that you won't give children with cancer the possibility to stop vomiting from the medication that is literal poison, a medication that causes cell death. How vile piece of scum must you be?
A political leader victimizes tens of millions, they're a monster. A business leader does it, they're a visionary (at least to their peers). The bifurcation is simply insane to me. If Skibbidi toilet over there on the right had been a dictator, multiple countries would have joined to take him down. Instead, we execute a multi-state manhunt for "justice."
Hey Americans. You do realize that you can band together, start a company with clear by-laws that prohibit profit, regulate employee and leadership salaries, and start you own insurance company, right? If enough of you join, you'll have the necessary money pool to treat the people that need it, and you'll bankrupt the for-profit companies.
Brian Thompson was being investigated for insider trading. So on top of tens of millions of dollars in for-profit predatory health denials, he didn't feel the law applied to him and his greed.
Fuck Brian Thompson ! I hope him, Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson and Ashleigh Babbit are all taking turns getting butt-pummeled by Satan in that“special” part of hell!
His critics might say what he did was evil and he should have gone through other legal channels to fix things. But then again in NY how many cases had Alan Bragg filed against medical administrators or CEOs. Was there really another option for justice?
No, because what he did was 'legal'. System's working as intended, orphan crusher running at peak efficiency. What case could be made against the ghoul?
If it was at 'peak' efficiency, it wouldn't be increasing year on year. These ghouls still have plenty of horrific ideas to innovate the orphan crushing machine.
the other option would be to so grass roots movements until the whole government is made up of moral people but unfortunately we don't have time to wait until forever.... so no there likely wasn't another option
There was literally no system to hold him accountable. In normal capitalism, we’d vote with our wallets. But most of us have no choice of carrier, and the system is designed for us to require one. He wasn’t breaking any written laws, only moral ones. These fucks don’t care about protests. Any options I’m not thinking of?
If you don't like your employer provided health insurer, you can go on the ACA. If you don't like the insurers in your area on the ACA, you can move! If you're not fond of any choices, you simply self insure. It's easy! /s
Love all the twatwaffles saying that violence isn't the American way. Fuck you and your selective amnesia, it's quite literally what lead to the birth of the US to begin with.
Yes. It was, frankly, merciful compared to the suffering of those children. Of course,, the people in the media bleating about the CEO's death will never realize that.
Medical emesis bags are great. A vomit bag with a hard plastic ring to keep it open. Not that any child undergoing chemo should have to use one because they are denied anti-emetics. They're great if you're a DD or Uber driver on a weekend at 2 AM.
and they are an absolute godsend, even if you aren't getting chemo, I can't even begin to say how many times they helped me when pain meds disagreed with me while i was laid up ion a hospital bed countless times over the last 5 years
So much so! When I first started having constant anxiety attacks I was too nauseous to hardly hold water down. I was so weak from lack of food/sleep/water. The nausea meds made it so I could get enough food and such in me to be able to start getting the help I needed to find out what was going on.
The most ironic moment of my life involved Zofran. Going through chemo, pre-meds we Zofran, an anti-nausea med, and a steroid through my PICC line. After the third time, I started to feel nauseated after the drugs where hooked up to me. Couldn't figure out which was making me feel that way, but it could never be the Zofran. Well, one day, the steroid wasn't ready but they hooked up the Zofran to me. I asked the nurse for a tub about 5 mins in 1/
and proceeded to vomit the ever living shit out of the stew I had for dinner before the treatment. While I was throwing up, I was laughing like a mad man. Nurse asked me if I was okay, with that hint of "I think he's crazy" tone, and I told her that I am fine, just the irony of what's going on was the best. The IV Zofran made me vomit more so than chemo did. She did not appreciate the irony and absurdity as much as me. But I do love me some dissolvable Zofran.
I have oddly, had the same reaction to IV Zofran, not every time, but on occasion that same thing has happened. I was laid up for a skin infection, was unable to sit, or laydown on my back because of it, pain was immense, they were giving me IV Dilaudid for pain, but because of how i had to laydown, i would get nauseous a few mins after the shot. sometimes the IV zofran would trigger the vomiting, never with the dissolvable tabs though. good thing it doesn't taste like complete garbage.
Cant even cover side effects. What a pathetic system. Truly denying people their dignity in a time of need is brutal. Im paramedic in canada. I give gravol, metoclopramide and ondansetron all day every day 24/7.
Not technically, the chances go way down, but there's still ' a chance' dI they bank on that. Insurance companies do not, nor will they ever, care about the person they insure. Fuck insurance companies, Universal Healthcare Now.
They won't. During chemo I was vomiting multiple times a day, was malnourished, hospitalized for low potassium, and at risk of my organs shutting down (this was before we found nausea meds that worked). Pair that with a child? If they weren't tube fed they'd die, they'd have to stop chemo if the child wasn't strong enough too.
My friend attempted to get tube fed once: the sensation of having the tube in caused to her retch more and she vomited up the tube... so yeah, that's also a possibility
He was shot, not punched. Kinda wish he got beat up a bit before the trigger was pulled; the bullet was too quick for what he put so many people through.
I see the opposite. I see a happy care-free l smile. He's happy to be taking that picture. He's proud. Of the fact that he's responsible for 1000s of deaths and 10,000s of suffering to make people who didn't need more money - more money.
i dunno...dead eyes, almost frown-smile. maybe the photographer wasn't great (more likely not paid enough to be), but he's not offering much by ways of genuine happiness. giving me "am I a good boy?"
