One story that we couldn’t keep out of the press and that contributed most to my decision to walk away from my career in 2008 involved Nataline Sarkisyan, a 17-year-old leukemia patient in California whose scheduled liver transplant was postponed at the last minute when Cigna told her surgeons it wouldn’t pay. Cigna’s medical director, 2,500 miles away from Ms. Sarkisyan, said she was too sick for the procedure. Her family stirred up so much media attention that Cigna relented, but it was too late. She died a few hours after Cigna’s change of heart.
Ms. Sarkisyan’s death affected me personally and deeply. As a father, I couldn’t imagine the depth of despair her parents were facing. I turned in my notice a few weeks later. I could not in good conscience continue being a spokesman for an industry that was making it increasingly difficult for Americans to get often lifesaving care.
One of my last acts before resigning was helping to plan a meeting for investors and Wall Street financial analysts — similar to the one that UnitedHealthcare canceled after Mr. Thompson’s horrific killing. These annual investor days, like the consumerism idea I helped spread, reveal an uncomfortable truth about our health insurance system: that shareholders, not patient outcomes, tend to drive decisions at for-profit health insurance companies.
Go back to reddit then, pussy, class traitors aren’t welcome here.
You’re right, continued passivity will fix everything!
Exactly, Luigi should be freed!
Soooooooo Brian Thompson except he just didn’t have the exact title you demand for violence? Because uh… That fits him perfectly, so maybe get your tongue out of the shitstain’s dead and rotting asshole, yeah?
People like you is why lemmy will never have a mass appeal. I have not been insulting to any individual. I think this quote makes the level at which the likes of you are speaking quite obvious. With people like you it seems there is no conversation to be had
If the majority are anything like you then good, lol
Your bootlicking offends me greatly, actually
Well you started your side of this conversation sucking the toes of a dead mass murderer, why the fuck should I want to have a pleasant conversation with someone who sympathizers with a mass murderer? Maybe you should be a better person to deserve having a decent conversation
Bet the FBI will be super interested in your post and Lemmy now.
Fucks given: 0
Savour the leather taste in your mouth
All because I called you out for advocating murder?! lmao
Nah, no leather taste in my mouth, friend. I’m glad to have stood up against the murderous glee I see on Lemmy these days. :)
You think being called a bootlicker is some extreme response? I knew you were a bitch but damn, extra weak
You didn’t “call out” shit, you painted yourself as a class traitor who deserves to get Thompson’d as well
I see you’re savouring it well, suck harder and perhaps you’ll be rewarded
So because I disagree with you, I should be murdered? What the fuck, dude?
Class traitors get what the royalty get, don’t like it? Learn to not be a class traitor
Checked your post history and noticed you post to the conservative community so uh, yeah, snowflake cuckservative that absolutely deserves the treatment your beloved Nazi forerunners got detected
So because I post to a conservative community, I’m a class traitor? I’m a socialist and I voted socialist in the last election. I also created, mod, and post to socialist communities.
Be mad all you want. I don’t advocate for murder. Regardless of how much Lemmy gets mad about the fact.
