“When other’s human lives are deemed worthless, it is not surprising to have others view your life of no value as well,” wrote one medical doctor, whose identity the Daily Beast confirmed.

Summary

Reddit’s r/medicine moderators deleted a thread where doctors and users harshly criticized murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Comments, including satirical rejections of insurance claims for gunshot wounds, targeted UHC’s reputation for denying care to boost profits.

Despite the removal, similar discussions continue, with medical professionals condemning UHC’s business practices under Thompson’s leadership, which a Senate report recently criticized for denying post-acute care.

Thompson, shot in what appears to be a targeted attack, led a company notorious for its high claim denial rates, fueling ongoing debates about corporate ethics in healthcare.

      Agreed and his company and all like him should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

      Imagine if millions of people walked the streets to stop the healthcare scam of America? Blue and red United…

        Whenever we have big protests, we get tear gassed, shot with rubber bullets, beaten with nightsticks, and arrested. Why do you think this time would be different?

          Vietnam ended because of protest.

          The police cannot stop millions of people that match because most of them would agree with you.

          The US needs to stop giving the microphone to extreme left and right speakers and go back to being a centrist country…

          Protest isn’t easy but it gains traction when everyone is united which at the moment the United States is not… The longer it’s citizens are not united, the longer corporations will fill its coffers and pig out on your hard earned cash…

          The media keeps you distracted so that none of you see how similar you are with the other side. They have even convinced people to no longer speak to Trump people… Who does that benefit? Motherfucking Corporations. They want you to be divided in every cause possible as it remove the eye on them…

            They brutally attacked protesters during the Vietnam war protests, what are you talking about?

            They did in fact stop millions of people in more recent protests, once again by using violence against the protesters.

              As I said, it is not easy. When the elites believes they have no resistance, they pig out…

              There is only so much that cops can prevent in a protest, especially in a day and age of technology where everything is recorded

                I agree with the other things you said about solidarity.

                But your implied view of protests, where the protesters have to suffer violence at the hands of the oppressors, is just insane to me.

                And cops have been recorded commiting war crimes against the American people, and guess what the recordings did? Fucking. Nothing.
