Anthem pulled back that announcement about not covering all anesthesia real fucking quick when they saw the reaction to the news.
- I didn’t realize they actually backpedaled instead of just trying to brush it under the rug: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-care/anthem-blue-cross-blue-shield-time-limits-anesthesia-surgery-rcna183035
  
  AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
  breathe
  HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA
  I think they actually feel a little unsafe. Holy shit YES
  (It actually probably wasn't due to this. They only retracted the policy in one state)
  
  Wow, can't believe they reversed course immediately. Their CEO just have been shitting bricks.
  
  Unfortunately, I don't think that is quite nearly enough.
  I have the feeling insurers may want to review their existence as middlemen at all.
- They’ll just wait for a better news cycle.
- Sounds like they’re finally aware that people besides their customers can die in agony
The American side of the internet has been absolutely savage today...and I fucking love it.
- Someone is pearl clutching at me on Bluesky for saying how delighted I am, and saying how this guy has a family. Well so so the people he denies health care to, especially this kid.
  
  "Have a heart, you mongrels! Are we condoning murder now?"
  Murder is for people. Extermination is for pests.
  
  Screw his family. They're enablers and collaborators.
- If Kamala shot a health insurance ceo she’d’ve won every state. Economic populism is wildly popular here
  
  Instead she couldn't even commit to keeping Lina Khan on the job. That tea was weak.
- Yeah, he should have thought about how he was dressed (in the blood of the insured) in that part of town.
- This guy gets it
- If it was a real oligarchy, the body has ways to shut it down.
- CEO's getting shot is just a fact of life now. Much like our public shootings.
- Or, get rid of insurers completely and move to a single payer system without parasitic middlemen.
- More like "Frugally and correctly spent"
If Harris had promised to publicly execute every insurance CEO she'd have won.
- I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot a CEO, okay, and I wouldn't lose a single voter.
  Alternate universe Kamala Harris who wins in a landslide.
Aren't we supposed to celebrate when an evil person is brought to justice?
Tbh that is why we should make memes that casually mention this very tragic incident whenever health insurance companies suggest any policy that sucks more money out of ordinary people, nurses and doctors' pockets.
🎶 He had it comin’ 🎶
- He only had himself to blame.
  And I would definitely have done the same.
Is anyone doing merch for this yet?
- Deny, Defend, Depose, Die
  I would love wearing a shirt like that
- God I hope so.
Wait they're talking about lead in gasoline? I don't mainstream news much

The two words were written on the dust cover of the AR-15 rifle Braisford used to kill Shaver: “You’re fucked.”
same energy; other side of the short sharp stick
- The difference being that one was a filthy dirty cop doing filthy dirty cop shit, and the Adjuster who is a folk hero who deserves sainthood. Both sides my ass.
- Practice critical thinking and try again. You'll get why it's not the same eventually. I believe in you!
