So did they just download the US Census and start from there?

So, they're finally admitting that they're monitoring all of us.

Health Insurance companies are parasites who only exist to cause people misery in exchange for profit so... everyone?

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 87 points 1 month ago

Imagine if government resources were spent on applying antitrust laws to stop this abusive situation that literally kills people and ruins lives instead.

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 76 points 1 month ago

so, like most people who have ever had to attempt to use it combined with those who could only hope to afford it? thats prolly a long list.

[-] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Nah, only those who dare to speak out.

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 76 points 1 month ago

So, like 85% of the adult population?

[-] Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca 39 points 1 month ago

I think it's probably closer to 99%. Basically, anyone who isn't a high-level executive in the health insurance industry.

"Do you have the faintest idea of how little that narrows this down?"

[-] WeUnite@lemm.ee 62 points 1 month ago

The more people that express negative sentiment the harder it will be for them to go after people. It's your first amendment right, use it. Don't comply in advance.

[-] bokherif@lemmy.world 62 points 1 month ago

Government is monitoring everyone? Color me shocked

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago

And have been since 2002 at the latest

I hope more die.

[-] prole 54 points 1 month ago

I don't know if I would trust an American who doesn't have a negative view of the health insurance industry

[-] mdurell@lemmy.world 52 points 1 month ago

So they are monitoring basically everyone.

[-] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

Openly since the Patriot Act

“You will have your bad healthcare system, and you will LIKE it!”

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

The beatings will continue until the morale improves.

In his manifesto, Mangione suggested the health insurance industry had “gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it.” He could just as easily have been describing the national security state.

[-] mjsaber 34 points 1 month ago

Monitoring all nurses, got it.

[-] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

You can monitor this dick.

The health insurance industry needs to be changed significantly as it neither makes care cheaper, more accessible or more available.

I have a negative view of health insurance companies. In fact, I have a negative view of corporations, from the local mom-&-pops that underpay their employees and expect long hours, to Amazon. They all suck.

But people who create policies that cause immense loss of life (and cost and destruction) are really asking for ten-plus times the vengeance that actually comes their way.

I'm not interested in that vengeance since it won't solve the problem, but I don't begrudge those who suffer at their hands from wanting to kill them back.

[-] WagyuSneakers@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

An evil company was evil. A very understandable thing happened when evil people are killing Americans. Now I'm going to get put on a list for liking a post.

It's like you don't have to do anything besides exist and you get put on a list. I'm sure this won't be used by the new administration to silence dissent.

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

The US healthcare system is a massive fucking dumpster fire. There, I typed it.

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That's fun. It does nothing to stop the near-daily in-person conversations with coworkers, friends, and family about this one topic that unites us all. So long as we're beholden to this health insurance system that screws us over at our most vulnerable of times, those conversations aren't going to stop.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

No shit, the NSA was already monitoring everybody to begin with.

...well let me say here for whoever in the FBI / DOJ might be monitoring: the health insurance industry is a pox on american civilisation and stochastic remediation is the inevitable manifestation of celebrated principles of the declaration of independence...

[-] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 month ago

I mean, they should be monitoring me because I want to see them toppled and replaced with a democracy, not just because I like seeing rich assholes get assassinated.

[-] MooseTheDog@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

They can't monitor everyone. With AI they think they can, that's our biggest advantage

Really the people should be monitoring insurance industry executives more often.

For safety.

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 month ago

Something something monitor deez nuts.

[-] JillyB@beehaw.org 16 points 1 month ago

If the list includes everyone, what good is the list?

[-] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 16 points 1 month ago

Sooooo, most people.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The desperation to intimidate people is palpable. This won't work and the 1% will turn to dividing the people along racial and/or national lines.

What can I say, if it works it works.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

So literally fucking everyone

[-] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Go ahead fuckers. If I didn’t have so much to lose I’d go take out one of those fucks myself
