You know, it's a little shocking to me

that nobody even seems interested in pretending to have any sympathy for that CEO and his family. (Except, apparently, right-wing media... and they seem to be very carefully not talking about what sort of business he was running and how he was running it.)

Edit: OMG. This was in my email today: Healthcare industry rethinks risk

Guys, I laughed until I cried. I know I shouldn't, but omg. I haven't even read the article yet. Forget what I've said before, apparently you can murder your way to a better world, at least in some select circumstances. (Well. You can if you're a gunman with a grudge. If you're a CEO of an insurance company you can kindly die of shame and spare the rest of us the trouble. Seriously would like to know how many people have died due to United Healthcare's policies.)

(Fuck, is this post getting me on some sort of watchlist? Don't murder people, yay gun control.)

Edit edit: Oh. I've read the article. The risk they're reassessing is whether they should post employee pictures on their websites. Booooooooo! Well, fuck them, murders all around. In some good news: Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield halts anesthesia payment policy after backlash
