The Punchline That Isn’t Funny

BlackRock will probably win this lawsuit. Or settle for millions. Either way, they’ll extract value from a system designed to extract life from patients.

They’re not just suing UnitedHealth — they’re suing the very idea that health insurance should provide health insurance. They’re fighting for their constitutional right to profit when people die and lose money when people live.

Welcome to American healthcare, where caring too much is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Dear Sweet Mother of God, this article does not hold back on the biting truth.

It's a worthwhile read with only one small mistake contained within:

Luigi Mangione didn’t just kill a CEO

There is no reliable evidence to suggest Mr. Mangione killed anyone. And I, for one, remain convinced he did not do that deed.

Hope Mangione is found innocent and he suits the shit out off all the media companies that declared guilty without any proof.

I'm fully convinced that if it ever starts looking like he might legitimately walk, he'll be Epstein'd. They want to keep that option for last resorts only because they understand the optics behind it, but I'm sure it's not completely off the table.

I'm pretty sure a piano fell on that guy.

It's worth noting that this is a blog post, and not reporting from an accountable journalistic agency.

I don't see anything obviously incorrect, but it's worth noting the source.
