Anthem pulled back that announcement about not covering all anesthesia real fucking quick when they saw the reaction to the news.
I didn’t realize they actually backpedaled instead of just trying to brush it under the rug: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-care/anthem-blue-cross-blue-shield-time-limits-anesthesia-surgery-rcna183035
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
*breathe*
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA
I think they actually feel a little unsafe. Holy shit YES
(It actually probably wasn't due to this. They only retracted the policy in one state)
Wow, can't believe they reversed course immediately. Their CEO just have been shitting bricks.
Maybe these shit bags are finally learning that their customers are humans, and humans can be just as bad as a cornered animal when the right situations occur.
Unfortunately, I don't think that is quite nearly enough.
I have the feeling insurers may want to review their existence as middlemen at all.
They’ll just wait for a better news cycle.
Sounds like they’re finally aware that people besides their customers can die in agony
The American side of the internet has been absolutely savage today...and I fucking love it.
Someone is pearl clutching at me on Bluesky for saying how delighted I am, and saying how this guy has a family. Well so so the people he denies health care to, especially this kid.
"Have a heart, you mongrels! Are we condoning murder now?"
Murder is for people. Extermination is for pests.
I like to think of it as monster hunting

Screw his family. They're enablers and collaborators.
They have his 10 million dollar salary to dry their tears with while other people have pain and death because of it.
If Kamala shot a health insurance ceo she’d’ve won every state. Economic populism is wildly popular here
Instead she couldn't even commit to keeping Lina Khan on the job. That tea was weak.
But somehow it's the left's fault she lost because checks notes they accurately said, repeatedly, that tacking hard to the right yet again was a losing strategy.
More like "Frugally and correctly spent"
If Harris had promised to publicly execute every insurance CEO she'd have won.
Aren't we supposed to celebrate when an evil person is brought to justice?
Tbh that is why we should make memes that casually mention this very tragic incident whenever health insurance companies suggest any policy that sucks more money out of ordinary people, nurses and doctors' pockets.
🎶 He had it comin’ 🎶
He only had himself to blame.
And I would definitely have done the same.
Is anyone doing merch for this yet?
God I hope so.
Wait they're talking about lead in gasoline? I don't mainstream news much
