    I love how they’ve gone from scapegoating an “assassin” to scapegoating the company in an attempt to placate the masses

        We have capitalism and public health care im the EU.

        The EU has socialist / non-capitalist parties that have fought tooth and nail for socialized medicine and labor protections. The US doesn’t have non-capitalist parties to fight for the working class.

        So in other words, the US only has capitalism and our government only represents the interests of capital (our government doesn’t do anything unless capitalists are allowed to get their hands in it to funnel public funds into private pockets)

        Couldn’t be more wrong.
        We have public health DESPITE capitalism.
        Capitalism didn’t produce them, they were fought for and earned with sweat and blood by the people, same as workers rights.
        And slowly but surely capitalism is breaking them down and eroding them.
        Slowly but surely we are creeping towards the same situations in EU.
        All thanks to your precious capitalism.

    Holy fucking shit. I knew stuff like this was happening. But this is just harrowing. This is why you don’t add middlemen into healthcare. They don’t have an oath.

        If so, then oaths clearly aren’t enough. We need to empower doctors to have more ownership over medical decisions.

        This goes back to the heart of the issue of capitalism vs socialism: the people who have the actual expertise to do the actual work need to share in ownership over their work so that the work gets done properly. Doctors should be at the helm of the healthcare industry just like engineers should be at the helm of Boeing.

          They have these doctors signing off on shit to justify denying care. Oaths don’t mean shit. It’s just words if there are no consequences to breaking them.

      Corporate has already bought up most of your doctor’s clinics. This is why you get 15min, no more, your appointment is gone if you’re 5min late, and may even have a fee charged for missing/not being on time for an appointment. It’s leading to doctor burnout.

      I’m hoping that the Defence absolutely rakes United and other Healthcare providers across the coals, showing all the nasty things they get up to. The high profile of the case will allow this stuff to be laid bare to the masses.

        That is assuming that the defence needs to go as far as defending motive. And it might even be struck down by a relevance objection.
