In reply to the discussion: Shock poll: 41 percent of young voters find killing of UHC CEO Acceptable (40% don't) [View all]Bettie
(19,770 posts)20. One of my sons is a pharmacy tech
he has to tell people daily that their insurance has decided not to cover their medication anymore.
It makes him angry that someone can't afford antibiotics for their sick kid, but he says it is happening more lately with the drug benefits from Medicare Advantage customers. He is a kind hearted kid and it breaks his heart to see elderly people start to cry when they can't afford their medication.
He's more along the line of the "understandable" comment in the OP. He gets why someone would do it. He believes that the rich guys will just close ranks and work harder to screw people over, as some kind of revenge.

You do realize that health insurance companies don't do actual medicine, right?
Think. Again.

Which is exactly the problem with the very existence of private health insurance companies.

What if someone threatens him for participating in a corrupt system and takes their denial out on the messenger?

That's on us. Our ho-hum attitude to the danger they faced in the form of school shootings has to contribute

That's probably one reason so many young people aren't shocked by this murder.

Will the same people justify the shooting of government officials if care is denied? n/t
