If there was ever an argument for national health-care this is it

Anyone happen to have the names of the c suite at Blackrock? For research purposes.

Anyway,
Oh, so BlackRock needs to be the next target?
The System Working Exactly as Designed This isn’t a bug in American healthcare — it’s a feature. BlackRock’s massive influence helped shape UnitedHealth into the claim-denial machine it became. They voted on executive compensation packages that rewarded denying care. They approved strategies that prioritized shareholder returns over patient outcomes. But when public outrage threatens that business model, they don’t pivot to supporting better healthcare. They sue to protect their right to profit from human suffering. The Punchline That Isn’t Funny BlackRock will probably win this lawsuit. Or settle for millions. Either way, they’ll extract value from a system designed to extract life from patients. They’re not just suing UnitedHealth — they’re suing the very idea that health insurance should provide health insurance. They’re fighting for their constitutional right to profit when people die and lose money when people live. Welcome to American healthcare, where caring too much is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Look, if someone is sick and it's anything above a scraped knee, the science says you shoot them in the head. I don't know how else you can run a profitable healthcare company. /s
False. The cost of bullets brings down profits. Just throw them in a ditch. As long as there’s no transport cost, of course.
Edit: I forgot to add, make sure the guy throwing them in the ditch isn't getting any overtime.
I’ve been skeptical about the argument that UHC made major changes to be more pro-consumer after the shooting. So I am very curious what the case is based on here.
Honestly, I thought the first lawsuit was a publicity stunt but blackrock doesn’t seem like the type, so maybe there is something to this.
This piece does beat the dead whale a bit, but it's interesting the first time around.
Feels like a post-credits reveal of a new big bad that was controlling the old one this whole time.
