“California lawmakers propose…”? Buddy, that’s an initiative, it can be proposed by literally anyone in the state.

[-] takeda@lemm.ee 15 points 4 days ago

I don't like that they use his name even though he didn't have trial yet and nothing was proven.

Won't attitude like this only hurt him?

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 6 points 4 days ago

They didn't even spell his name write

Legislation to Upend Insurance Grifting and Inequality Act of 2025 😏

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago

My friend, you need a job doing this.

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 days ago

Unfortunately would be replaced by an llm. Language is the one thing they are good at

Limiting Unjustified Insurance Gatekeeping and Interventions

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 99 points 4 days ago

He's done more to improve healthcare than most politicians.

[-] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 18 points 4 days ago

Yes, we've all done more to improve healthcare than most politicians or insurance companies, given that they are actively making it worse

[-] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 55 points 4 days ago

All of this progress with just one dead ceo. Imagine.

It wasn't even a drawn out broadcast torture fest either, it was a quick death, and it still made them scared as fuck.

[-] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 days ago

Imagine what would ten dead ceos do.

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 69 points 4 days ago

Luigi is a public servant.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 62 points 4 days ago

... and all it cost was one life

Meanwhile, the health industry is doing their best to protect what's there while costing the lives of thousands even millions of people to an early death or a terrible life of misery.

[-] darkknight@discuss.online 31 points 4 days ago

That should be illegal anyways.

[-] bonus_crab@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

literally been waiting 7 weeks to see a specialist. why? urgent care is no longer allowed to issue referrals, so they had to put me on antibiotics for 3 weeks just to maybe cover me till i could see my pcp.

see the pcp after waiting 2 weeks, they give me a referral, issued STAT.

see them again a week later cuz i havent heard anything, there was an issue and the insurance didnt get the request till that day .

oop insurance actually decides who im referred to and they take 2 more weeks to figure it out.

oop insurance accidentally had a glitch and dropped me for no reason so the whole process has to start over again, after a wait a week for them to fix their mistake.

smfh , lucky its not something worse. I THINK. IDK WHAT IT IS CUZ I HAVENT SEEN A SPECIALIST YET.

Innocent until a jury decides otherwise.

[-] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 days ago

A jury should decide he's innocent :)

[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Yeah, just going off of the images they showed at the time, the one taken at the scene of the crime is significantly different in certain details from the one at the hostel that was used to identify Luigi.

And it's a ballot initiative? Well played.

[-] misteloct@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago

Hilarious especially given Luigi is literally innocent (until proven guilty). The name is pure trolling and we need more of this.

[-] lordkuri@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago

Good luck. They passed the timely access to care act and you can't actually use it because doctors and health systems ignore it, and your insurance will make you jump through so many hoops you'll feel like fucking Luigi before you're done.

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 23 points 4 days ago

I remember when he first became popular a lot of people felt like fucking Luigi.

[-] Zorsith 14 points 4 days ago

I think a lot of people still would. Dude is conventionally attractive, and i don't even like men

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 days ago

People used to want to fuck Luigi. They still do.....

[-] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

I would let Luigi Depose me ngl

Section C talks about how if they want to delay or deny any medication/procedure that was recommended by a physician that in needs to be by another physician. There's already a loophole in place for this section which is that insurance companies hire loads of physicians to look at case files and determine if it should be denied or not. There is obviously a huge conflict of interest there, but that's how that works.

However, section D talks about how if they delay or deny anything, the insurance company has the burden of proof and would have to pay for any damages or legal fees in doing so. That part is HUGE! Accountability in the court for this bullshit!

[-] Zorsith 14 points 4 days ago

section E makes decisions made by a non-physician also a felony, should be expanded to make influencing a physician to lie also a felony, protecting physicians employed by insurance company from reprisal.

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago

Question, why didn't they do this before?

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 26 points 4 days ago

Because there was one too many billionaires. Want more done? Need less billionaires.

[-] duhbasser@lemm.ee 19 points 4 days ago

Because this is political theater but there’s also a lot of nuances that go into this type of thing. Should they have done something like this in the past, 100%…but this is also a result of the collective California population being so fed up with insurance companies that it forces politicians to do something. He’s a martyr no doubt but the health care situation continues to get worse so pushing something so “liberal” wasn’t going to happen previously.

[-] RymrgandsDaughter 5 points 4 days ago

Everytime you Luigi an oligarch you get a bill somewhere that will make something basic a human right.

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago

Its absurd they can deny you care or medicine for any reason outside your own doctor canceling it.

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago

St. Luigi Memorial Hospital

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 18 points 4 days ago

Proposed. Hopefully, it goes somewhere.

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 days ago

I love it, but I'm a bit worried that using his name could make it harder to get enough people onboard... Not that it would be easy normally... But maybe I'm wrong, maybe he's more generally liked than I realize (outside of online spaces anyway)

[-] RandoMcRanderton@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

With this one weird trick!

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

oh no, how will the redditors know?
