Of course nobody was saved by him, since he didn't kill anyone.

I remember waiting patiently for somebody to do a study or show some internal data on whether the claim denial rate went up or down, and never saw a lick of it.

Like, sure, there are people who get their claims approved. There are also people who get them denied and don't dispute the decision. You can't use anecdotes as evidence.

EDIT: I went searching again just now and I found that, at least 2 years after the killing, UnitedHealth was STILL investing heavily in AI claim handling, which would increase the claim denial rate. The industry as a whole have also raised rates dramatically. The slightly more apologetic UHC interim-CEO resigned and was replaced by a more profit-focused individual by shareholders. Healthcare companies spent more on security in 2024.

That's just the Free Market working like it's supposed to. That company's policies were so egregious that they eventually spawned a customer angry enough to do something about it. As a result, health insurance companies eased up on their restrictions for a time. That's a perfect example of the Free market working the way it's supposed to, and applying self-regulation

The only problem was that it wore off, and the companies went back to their same egregious policies. That just confirms that we need to Luigi CEOs on a regular basis, until they decide that the extra bit of profit isn't worth it.

Killing billionaires save lives human lives and more than one for every billionaire if you're not at least trying to help kill billionaires you're a bad person

I had a much-needed MRI denied about a month after the incident. These people are shameless.

Like my paw paw used to say: "A bullet a day keeps the insurance adjuster away."

"oh you got tumor in your brain but it is not growing just causing blinding pain? seems like it is not killing you so we choose not to cover its costs, thanks baiiiiii"

literally scum of the earth, worse than academic publishing companies by a large margin (which is very hard to do).

There were likely many people whose lives were either saved or made better by that shooting. For a time after, insurance denials were down. This was the lever being pulled in the trolley problem made manifest.

Strawman quote + anecdote + watermark

You're telling me that it's good that regular people resist those in power. I think I know this one. I'd like to sign up for your newsletter. Let's go!

This sounds like the trolley problem.
