This shit is straight up evil, will the company be held accountable for their crimes? This is what our justice system is for. Based on what we know so far, more crimes would be bound to come out in an investigation.
When will we start holding these people accountable? It is easy to say "corporations are bad" and then sit on your hands. It's different to start calling out the people who ultimately make the corporations evil.

We have whole classes of people comfortable fucking people over -- sometimes with deadly consequences.
America is going to miss Lina Khan a lot in the next 4 years.
Just fucking write “tenfold”, Jesus fuck.
What is "1k%?"
Horrible. A family member of mine needs a medication called Tolvaptan according to their doctor to prevent kidney failure due to a genetic disease.

From drugs.com: "The cost for tolvaptan (15 mg oral tablet) is approximately $4,482 for a supply of 10 tablets, while the brand Jynarque can cost around $21,238 for a supply of 56 tablets, depending on the pharmacy. Prices may vary based on factors like location and insurance coverage."

15mg is the lowest dose of this medication too. Often the dose is 30mg or 45mg, up to 60mg max.
Unchecked capitalism is really something, huh?

So people are going to jail over this and proper hard measures are going to be taken to address the obvious imbalance of power that allows companies like this to do this over and over again right? They're not just going to give the company another slap on the wrist fine that won't even cover how much money they've stolen from people, leaving them still making a profit for doing this and leaving the door wide open for more abuse like that to happen over and over again, right?

Right?
UnitedHealth, employer of slain exec Brian Thompson

Not quite correct sort of. This is OptumRx, which is owned by United Health Group, which also owns United Health Care, which Brian Thompson was nominally the CEO of. In other words, this is like the sibling of the company Brian Thompson ran.

To be clear, Brian Thmpson wasn't a billionaire, he was a mid-level at best millionaire worth only $41 million. He was just another star-bellied prole who thought he was in the aristocracy.

Point being, the whole thing is stupid. The health care system, the people getting rich off it, Luigi's reaction to it, our reactions to it, the media's reporting on it, all of it.
Quite interesting how big tech and big pharma are linked. Oh well.
Americans love their health insurance providers
And why is execution not ok to skip to the end of again?

Sometimes courts are just delays to the justice we all know is coming. Kinda pointless to have a detailed decision of just how dead they should be.

Let's just kill every insurance official. Insurance will just pay every claim ever now. If a readable request is submitted, it is approved. Just tap a random billionaire's account directly for it.

I'm an ideal world people would just suffer immediately for every infraction. And even ONE instance of this is death worthy honestly. So I don't need a giant list of every sorry decision they've ever made.

Fuck your budget, fuck your money, if you kill even one person with a "no" you go straight to hell later that day IMO. No mercy.

No one should die solely because they're expensive to keep alive.

If we could get maga to stop defending these people and see them for who they are, it would be over pretty quick. They're not very efficient, but they can break into some important buildings if they get riled up enough.
