    If an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, one person denying over 80% of insurance claims is a whole lot of eyes, which is a crazy ratio. I don’t think your analogy works.

    Nation wide, 305 million Americans have health insurance. Over 80% were being denied because of a faulty system these companies refused to fix. That is 244,000,000 people. Two hundred and forty four million people being rejected.

    United has 51 million people it “”““covers””“”, being generous and saying it was only 80% who were getting denied from this system means that’s still 40 million 800 thousand people.

    All your what ifs already happened because of 2016 btw.

      If I had my way him and his ilk would be facing life in prison.

      BTW, United had a denial rate of 32%, double the national average. Idk where tf you got 80%.

      The man didn’t gun people down in the street, he refused to pay for their treatment and his victims didn’t know how to fight it. Less than a fifth of a single percent of denied claims are appealed by the people whose claims are denied, they literally don’t even realize a system exists to fight against the injustice.

      But now we’re moving on to violence in the streets? Well for your sake, I hope your side wins despite the massive sacrifices.
