      The last few words of that article

      “touched so many lives”.

      He certainly did. Was reading that UHC had the highest claim denial rate in the US, something like 33%.

        Oh I stopped reading the second it started to make me feel sympathy for this monster. he put profits before people. That was his job, but we should really live in a world where CEOs get paid so high because screwing over sick people is a dangerous job.

        The F is the point in everyone being armed in America if they DONT pull shit like this.

          I refuse to read it

          There’s literally nothing they can say about him, his family, or his life that will make me feel bad about his death

      With banks here trying to make people pay to access their own money and supermarket fulfilment centres with terrible working conditions, it just might give people here ideas

      The speculation and response to this murder has been intriguing. I saw a comment online speculating that if rich people instead of kids start being targets of shootings, perhaps there will finally be movement on the question of gun control.

          No one physically hurt his children.

          He denied actual life saving treatment to children. He’s a monster.
