Imagine a doctor actually refusing treatment in a case like this. He should have been struck off for malpractice.

I totally understand what you’re going through! I’ve been clinically dead as a child for asthma. I still have it and I wouldn’t be alive today without my medication’s! I go to the VA though I am a veteran so that helps until Trump gets in and screws that up too!

As someone with asthma who was denied a refill on my albuterol inhaler, one I've used since childhood, I understand. I had to fight with my insurance to get it covered again. Asthma attacks are scary. One landed me in the hospital for a few days in the fourth grade.

How is this ethical?

Their "ethics" are defined by what increases shareholder value. That's it.

As a mom to an asthmatic child, this is truly terrifying 😳 I am sorry you had to experience this 💔

When health care is denied, people die. Sometimes, it’s not the people one would expect. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I always ask my students how much did you spend on lobbyists last year? That's the answer. But then again elon musk wants to also get rid of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

And they wonder why???🤬

Horrible! Is he ok? My sister had asthma. An attack can be so frightening.

Sadly it’s only going to get worse as Republicans gut the Affordable Healthcare Act

My god. This is unbelievable.

You are on fire as usual and doing such good work. Thank you. #healthcareforall

You don't say! They wouldn't pay for my kid's asthma med until after we had already paid about $500!

WHAT?! 🤬

Perhaps this is the issue that could bring the country together. A national movement for universal healthcare born out of the rage against craven profiteering on the bodies of the sick and dying. #Denied

We're starting to hate healthcare and some of us are leaving the profession.

Brian Thompson got what he deserved

fivefingers.bsky.social•155 days ago

No, no! He deserved to be accountable in a court of law. We cannot sink to the level of violence. I despise these insurance vampires, but we cannot sink to that level! Where we need legislation, let’s demand it!

Your way cannot succeed in a rigged system. That is sad but it is a fact.

mommamia6512.bsky.social•154 days ago

Unfortunate but true.

The more murderers who die, the more other people will live. It is, absolutely, a good thing for the world that Brian Thompson is dead.
