Is there a way of grabbing these people's attention, of showing them how the system cheats them?

Propaganda by the deed.
Brian Thompson's net worth? Lets start with that.
QuoteThompson's net worth was estimated at approximately $42.9 million as of February 16, 2024
At my retail wage I will have to work full time for 982 years without any time off to earn that much money as gross income.
I am smart enough NOT to have a Medicare Advantage Plan. Such plans should be illegal. I have supplemental insurance. A night and day difference.
Lets be clear, Brian Thompson killed people. Brian was the head of a company that denies vital care to millions of Americans all to take a profit out of their medicare checks. Brian was the worst kind of useless eater. Satan as a nice guy.
You can't make millions of dollars from health care without killing somebody and Brian was fine with his killing. His business model is all about denying care so UHC can keep somebody's medicare payments. In no way does United Healthcare do any work which adds value to a medicare payment. Extracting value from payments is what they are about.
This was more justice than murder. Vigilante justice. But I hope the shooter is found soon. Propaganda by the deed more often than not generates more oppression than it does greater enlightenment.
One trick Medicare Advantage plans play on people is to give subscribers five or ten bucks a month. A kickback from their monthly medicare payment. Money which should go to pay a medical bill somewhere. Medicare Advantage people are all poor and getting 'free money' makes them think their Advantage plans care for them. I know someone who thinks their plan is great. Ten bucks a month makes all the difference to him. He thinks he has a great plan. He is also homeless and thinks he has a good life.
Fuck the shooter and fuck Brian Thompson. Fuck Medicare Advantage. Medicare Advantage kills people and makes suits rich. Companies who supply Medicare Advantage insurance spend millions a year on lobbyists to buy politicians to keep their evil bean feed going.
If the shooter did what hid did because a United Healthcare denial killed a family member I'll still say fuck him. But if that is what happened, I'll also hope he is not caught. But as Brian Thompson was worth millions no stone will be left un-turned. The killer will be found. Money is screaming in pain, Brian was no faceless nobody like those shot dead every day in America and forgotten. Brian was a hero of many a money pile. These piles are now screaming for revenge. In capitalism money collects in piles and money appoints guardians to keep the piles growing in a tautological form enforced by human action.
And Brian looks like he was such a nice guy. The perfect guardian of a pile. Satan with a smile.
