Here's my take on America's violent health system, and what we must change immediately going forward.

Seriously stuck on Blue Cross Blue Shield detail: imagine being an insurance company back-seat driving surgical procedures because you can: "these selfish patients making surgeons take too long, charge THEM for all the extra anesthesia..."

Gross. No one should profit from people's pain & suffering.

It’s a spiritual war bruh. When people recognize this fact, then we can realize the usual methods of engagement must be spiritual.

An insurance company makes a profit by taking in more (premiums) than it pays out (claims). In an equitable system, shouldn't insurance companies break even?

UHC made $22 billion last year.

And they encourage their employees to deny claims. Insurance companies like Anthem have been reducing the amount of reimbursement that healthcare providers receive. Which has been causing healthcare providers to have to stop being anthem providers.

Anthem is going to impose time limits on the use of anesthesia. WTAF.

The cops and investigators were all standing around with wide grins. Am I the only one who caught that? So weird!

Interesting...

The tweet is misleading and incendiary. There is no evidence of a UnitedHealth CEO being murdered in broad daylight, and it's irresponsible to spread misinformation. Instead of sensationalizing healthcare, let's focus on constructive discussions about improving the system.

By the way, everyone should look over this account’s replies to familiarize themselves with the tone and phrasing of bot replies. It’s generally similar to the sealioning people on Twitter. Recognizing and reporting them as bots can save a lot of time, energy, and anguish.

qasimrashid.com•157 days ago

Huh? That's your critique? He was literally murdered on camera at 7am. What are you on dude.

pelgridge.bsky.social•157 days ago

Pretty sure that’s a bot account.

westly.bsky.social•157 days ago

It’s a disagreement bot, used for farming engagement.
Report then block.

pelgridge.bsky.social•157 days ago

I’ve always been curious: to what end are they farming engagement? Who does it benefit?

westly.bsky.social•157 days ago

I think one of the reasons is to have a large, vocal account to later sell to someone who doesn’t want to put the work in to growing their own social media presence.
Fortunately, it looks like your other screenshot is showing it doesn’t work like that here. :)

pelgridge.bsky.social•157 days ago

That makes total sense, thanks for the response. And I reckon trying to sell an account that has been pre-blocked almost 6,000 times (thanks, Robert) would diminish its value. Good argument for blocking bots!

westly.bsky.social•157 days ago

Sorry, it was Robert’s screenshot.

A lot of people had the same idea. From Clearsky:

damnyankee64.bsky.social•157 days ago

And YOUR tweet is completely uninformed. Where the hell have you been? This actually happened in midtown Manhattan YESTERDAY. There is even security footage showing it happen. How about googling something before posting such an uninformed reply?

pelgridge.bsky.social•157 days ago

Pretty sure it’s a bot

lowtek.bsky.social•157 days ago

Damn, these BOT accounts sure try hard at legitimacy 😂

They laughed bc they don’t care. And why should they… We are all sick and tired of the ppl who enrich themselves at the expense of the rest of us. We are sick of watching the wealthy have joy bc of our suffering.

navychief08.bsky.social•157 days ago

Not going to lie! Didn’t even bat an eyelash! We pay for insurance and still get denied a claim!

Not only is Qasim kind and erudite, his wife Ayesha has a scarf shop with beautiful scarfs that make fabulous gifts and still ship before Christmas. BRB with the deets.

The US has become desensitized to ruthlessness, deaths, chaos, destruction; both public and private. And the upcoming two years will further that gap between morality and empathy.
Young people are growing up with this desensitization, carrying it on without knowing of any different way to live.

geminimama13.bsky.social•157 days ago

How many people did said CEO’s company kill or maim by their denials and delays on medical care? I don’t condone this behavior but at some point people will take matters into their own hands on all facets. When you have a guy like trump coming into the presidency what do you expect?
