Respect to the doctor for publicly shaming United Healthcare.
Proof that Luigi was right! 2025 is the year we the people start denying their existence. Medicare for all and the doctors that get paid the most do so by having healthy patients. No more pill popping to keep making these insurers rich!
Given who is about to be sworn into office, I’m not sure too much progress will happen, but people will certainly get an idea of how much they’re getting fucked.
Maybe after the next election?
They could put out a story like this every minute of every day and never run out. Burn it all down indeed
And I’m here for it.
Remember remember, the 4th of December…
Jesus Christ its almost been a month it feels like three.
Funny way to spell murders
Question -:why is there no website that lists and compiles these issues?
Is it shutdown by their legal?
Maybe someone could start a database distributed as torrent. So many people can host it and spin up as needed?
Be the change you want to see in the world
I’m a us citizen, but naturalized. Meaning they can accuse me of terrorism and deport me, whereas for Americans born here - they can’t really do that. Has to be someone born in us.
Doesn’t matter if you were born here or not, you just need to look like you would fit white in with their idea of normal.
Whereas a born American can just be accused of terrorism and be thrown in jail for god knows how many years?
If you’re not willing to be the change then it doesn’t need changing.
You must wonder if the board has a death wish at this point, otherwise they must be confident their 24/7 security is up the task
I think they probably count on the Edward Snowden effect - i.e. people are massively outraged for a few weeks, then they lose interest, move on to the next hot topic and nothing changes.
UHC is like: What is she gonna do? Wake up?
“Coma victims have poor aim” United Health, prpobably
united healthcare looked at bob kelso and was like this guy is the hero of the series.
Bob actually tried to milk the insurance companies for money, IIRC. He wasn’t entirely a monster, but definitely had no chill.
Dr. Bob Kelso: What the hell people? I saw Maggie Kent in the park. Why didn't we treat her? Nurse Carla Espinosa: She has no insurance. Dr. Bob Kelso: Well, why didn't we do what we always do? Why didn't you fix it while I turned my back and pretend not to notice? You know the dance.
he definitely mellowed out as the series went on though in the first episode he did come up with
Dr. Dorian, do you not realize that you’re nothing but a large pair of scrubs to me? For God’s sake, the only reason I carry this chart around is so I can pretend to remember your damn names! Now look, if the patient has insurance, you treat them; if they don’t, you show them the door.
Was Bob actually denying the claims, or just passing the buck to the lawyer character? Can’t remember his name.
Edit: Ted! No wonder I didn’t remember that. They barely ever actually said his name.
Bob wasn’t denying anything.
He just wanted the people who were getting treatment to have insurance so the hospital can get paid.
In this context, I’m sure if someone was denied coverage, his attitude on it would be the same as his attitude on people who are not insured.
AFAIK he would have had no say on whether someone was denied coverage. He did however, have a say on whether they were denied care. His professional attitude about that was “show them the door” but that policy was rarely ever actually enforced, and the few times it was, he complained that everyone did what he was telling them to.

Might have start going after shareholders if this crap keeps up eh?
Brb loading my gun
Everyone: Luigi time
Me: Haha change the Y to an I in that doctor’s last name and you get Chuck Bartowski
These guys have not learned their lesson
I wonder how Mario feels about this while Luigi is on lockdown
Always more castles
To the absolute shock of all the people praising Luigi as the ultimate solution: nothing has changed.
Because work needs to be systemic. Not one-time adventure, but every tuesday in the morning.
You can kill an infinite number of people across all of time, but it’s not going to change the fact that profit exists to be made. The only solution is legislative. We have to vote DNC, like we did in 2010, but instead of stopping at 58 we need to get to 60. Only then will there be progressive reform with no compromise.
You’re gross and you enable grosser people
you’ve had 60. it doesn’t matter. what you need is to vote local and in primaries. you can’t keep letting the party establishment rot take hold and hope it will lead to change in the general elections.
you’ve had 60
When was that?
when Obama was elected. democrats had the presidency, the house and senate, with a supermajority. guess what they did with it: dick.
Oh, really?
yeah really, idk whay that is but a table only gives you a snapshot. 111th congress I believe had at one time majorities in both houses, and a 60-40, including the democratic caucusing independents.
