It appears that in every thread about this event there is someone calling everyone else in the thread sick and twisted for not proclaiming that all lives are sacred and being for the death of one individual.

It really is a real life trolley problem because those individuals are not seeing the deaths caused by the insurance industry and not realizing that sitting back and doing nothing (i.e. not pulling the lever on the train track switch) doesn’t save lives…people are going to continue to die if nothing is done.

Taking a moral high ground and stating that all lives matter is still going to costs lives and instead of it being a few CEOs it will be thousands.

    In general, the employer that purchased the insurance plan decided what they wanted the plan to cover. That’s why you can have great insurance plans when you’re in a union, for example. While for a bottom line, an insurance company wouldn’t want to pay claims, the people actually doing it each day are just following whatever plan guidelines they’re given. This death will do absolutely nothing.

      That’s how it works in theory. In reality, insurance companies in the US deny a lot more claims than they should. Somebody posted some stats showing UHC denies about twice as many claims as the other insurance companies, making them the worst of the bunch.

      This death will do absolutely nothing.

      I’ve already pointed out how it might do something.
