Cancer patient says seven insurance appeals failed. Threatening the CEO with press exposure got her chemotherapy approved the next day.

This Vanity Fair essay gets at something much larger than one denial: what it means when the American health care system responds to leverage more effectively than it responds to medical necessity. Extremely moving and well written piece, as well, wherever you land on health care in US.

This is an excellent documentary.

She states how, in doing her research, she was not expecting the things that she learnt about the American healthcare system, and that she cried many times.

There is so sooooooo much content in this video. I had no idea who this woman was but I have so much respect for her now.

Put on subtitles and change the language to English to watch.

What drew me to the video especially was the title.

I've noticed, that even in the videos of the shooting the media cut out the action of Luigi leaving 3 bullets at the scene. Even though its unlikely anyone would decipher him dropping bullets from the gun, they obviously don't want there to be any possibility for people to work out that he did.

170,958 Preventable Deaths. 1 Guilty Plea. 0 Accountability.

Luigi Mangione has pled guilty to shooting and killing UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson on a Manhattan sidewalk on December 4, 2024. The killing went viral. The NYPD deployed hundreds of officers to hunt him down.
Corporate media covered every detail of his arrest, his appearance, his manifesto, his trial.

The legal system spoke swiftly, loudly, and with the full weight of the state and federal government behind it.
But here's the question corporate media will never ask: In those same 624 days since Brian Thompson was killed, how many Americans died preventable deaths because HELL Corporations-Health Exploitation Limited Liability Corporations—prioritized profit over their lives?

I did the math. A new study by the Yale School of Public Health finds that a single-payer universal healthcare system could cover all 330M+ Americans, save more than 100,000 lives annually, and still cost $1 trillion less than the current system.

That is 274 preventable deaths every single day.
Over 624 days since Brian Thompson's death, that is
170,958 preventable deaths.

Luigi Mangione is in federal custody. The CEOs who enabled the deaths of 170,958 Americans are in their corner offices, collecting bonuses, and gracing the covers of Forbes and Fortune. Does it have to be this way?
