What can we learn from the fatal shooting of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson?

Health insurance only works on a scale of mass solidarity. If insurance is segmented in a competitive market then companies will seek to cut costs, for example, they won’t want to insure people with preexisting conditions or only up to a certain amount. A lot like veterinary insurance for people.

It’s not difficult to imagine a motivation. The trauma of grief from losing a loved one who was denied care, or a family pouring their hard earned financial security into paying overwhelming medical costs, these collective experiences are the real solidarity in this system.

The commercial - profit seeking power of doctors - who need to pay a lot in legal fees, pharmaceutical companies and hospitals in America is enormous.

Why do atheists love to preach against Abrahamic religions and mock God? Even if they do not fear the eternal fire of hell, pious Muslims will certainly not leave them alone and will take brutal revenge until they surrender and repent of their sins.

If poor people can’t afford insurance then insurance overall becomes more expensive. Less people = less money flowing into the system.

These profits don’t go back into the system but to anonymous shareholders, who buy shares on international financial markets, and billionaires keep their wealth in tax havens like the Cayman islands, etc.

Money goes up..
