Just so sorry this young guy with his whole life ahead of him got so mangled by such an inhumane broken healthcare system that this is what he was driven to do. I hope he is treated well and shown mercy by a jury.❤

This is not the person I was expecting to be the suspect this guy looks so normal and also not the type to gun down another person.

[Raptor.Senpai]

Why is it illegal when someone enforces law by themselves cause the actual enforcers won't do it?

[michaelnieves]

People are tired of this health companies, but Trump will do anything about it, maybe he will send the army to stop people from protesting.

People should be much more concerned about this big brother like media gaslighting than they are. They are adamantly refusing to discuss the actual issue, that Brian Thompson was part of huge problem explicitly created by people like him. That nothing he did in life will make up for the terrible things he chose to do. Men like Brian Thompson choose to make money off the sickness and death of others, and they actively make it worse if it will directly lead to higher profits. That's the actual story.

Does Israel Have Universal Healthcare? Israel provides a right to universal healthcare for its citizens. To receive healthcare as an Israeli citizen, you must sign up for Kupat Cholim, one of Israel's public healthcare companies. Most costs are paid by the Kupat Cholim or by co-payments at the time of service. Any person who is Jewish is a citizen so those Jews working in the insurance industry can just travel to Israel to get expensive operations while milking the system here. How is that fair?

🤔soooo... we should give praise to this spoiled rich kid & treat all Healthcare workers that deal with insurance claims like this...? Why stop at "medical" insurance? You think it's okay to just start OFF'ing anybody that controls insurance policies? How about doctors that deny medical treatment? How about flood insurance? How many would need to be DELETED
