    Meanwhile, citing the recent killing of Thompson, Centene, a major health insurer, said it would be moving its planned in-person investor day in New York City next week to virtual, according to a statement from the company on Friday. “All of us at Centene are deeply saddened by Brian Thompson’s death and want to express our support for all of those affected. Health insurance is a big industry and a small community; many members of the CenTeam crossed paths with Brian during their careers,” said Centene Chief Executive Officer, Sarah M. London. “He was a person with a deep sense of empathy and clear passion for improving access to care. Our hearts are with his family and his colleagues during this difficult time.”

    Holy yumping yimminy, their gaslighting!

        Anyone who believes health insurance is about healthcare is deeply blessed to have not had to use it before.

        It’s an industry built on denying care.

          When you right wing nut friends are gloating with you as left wing nut, you know that these “leaders” fucked up big time.

            There’s actually way more agreement than people think about what’s broken in society and the causes of it, at least at a surface level. The problem is our differing views on how to fix it all.

          All insurance is built on denying payouts. That’s the entire mechanism by which they extract profit.

      Health insurance is a big industry

      Yes, that’s the issue. That’s the part you need to understand.
