United Healthcare CEO shot and killed in Manhattan

[Butler1000]

So if he is acquitted, or if there are a sufficient number of hung juries with no convictions, will society go ahead and have The Purge, just like the movie?

For everyone, especially those of you who seem to like this piece of shit, who would you kill in The Purge?

Executives in specific industries?

Teachers who were mean to you in school?

Potential romantic partners who rejected your overtures?

Sex workers aren’t cheap, so many of the guys here have a buck or two earned in business.

Think anyone you climbed over on the way to the top wants to kill you?

Maybe instead of The Purge, he is found guilty and they televise it. Ratings would be good if they do it while he is still good looking.

The U.S. is a sick society. He made is sicker. No sympathy for him from me.

The CEO, by denying healthcare on 32% of claims, literally made it sicker. He was by far a bigger piece if shit. And deserved what he got.

And it's not the Purge. It's the French Revolution.

I really wish this trial would be broadcast live on Court TV, but it doesnt look like it will be

They will try to downplay it, but the media circus, protests, internet coverage is going to far eclipse it

It's going to make the OJ trial coverage look like a local news cast.

I'm not sure it will.
I'm not sure anything will get that kind of coverage again.

Maybe.
But with such a fractured media environment, I just don't see it matching OJ levels, let alone eclipsing it.

We shall see, I guess.
Never really can be sure what will take off.

I’m sorry but I have a hard time believing that he was denied a hip replacement because he was 85. Like that was the specific reason. I personally need more then “I knew I guy….” As evidence. Do you have any stats? Anything in writing where they say they will deny services?

I'm just going by what he told me to my face. He even showed me all the empty bottles of pain medication going back months. You can choose to believe or not to believe, I have no reason to lie. Its a sad truth unfortunately. BTW this was back in approx. 2014/2015 I'd hate to see what its like now, 10 years later.

Amazing how that was being hush hush for months before the broad public knew. Obviously the institutional traders knew this because the stock had dropped by half before this news broke.

I heard about this months ago. Ever notice how much medically related industries advertise on news? They learned from Tylenol not to let them report on them.

I'm not saying he didn’t suffer with pain or anything like that. I just don't believe he was denied simply because he was 85. He may believe it and therefore telling you, you believe him but I don't believe anyone said to him, "sorry bud - you're 85, you're deemed too old for this surgery by OHIP".

He could have had other medical issues, at the age of 85, that made it too dangerous to have surgery.

I have a condition and therefore it is too dangerous to do any cosmetic surgery. I don't qualify. No doctor will voluntarily operate on me and any doctor that would should not be a doctor. I'm only allowed necessary surgeries and even then, I have to have special consults, and approval of the whole team, as in hospital, surgical doctor, anaesthesiologist, etc.

So there could be, and in my opinion, most like is another reason he was denied. I don't believe it is simply because of age.
