Summary

The killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has ignited outrage over the state of U.S. healthcare.

While his murder shocked many, online reactions highlighted public frustration with private insurers, citing denied care, high costs, and systemic bureaucracy.

UnitedHealthcare, a major industry player, has faced scrutiny for practices perceived as prioritizing profit over patients.

The attack, which appears premeditated, underscores rising tensions around healthcare inequality.

Experts see this as part of a broader trend toward violence over societal disputes, reflecting deep dissatisfaction with the American healthcare system.

Its not murder if we give them a trial before sending them to the guillotine

Sounds like going with Option 1 to me. Too boring for America though.

More like option 1 literally wasn't an option on the paper. Stein was literally sued off many State's ballots, unfortunately.

For option 1 to be achievable, first we need rank choice voting and abolition of the electoral college. I honestly dont understand why this didn't pass in Colorado, except maybe successful disinformation campaigns.

Stein is a joke and a Russian puppet. If you want to throw your vote away vote for a leftist at least.
