He talks about the United Healthcare CEO killing and the poor state of the healthcare system in the US due to health insurance companies.

The first thing I thought of when I saw Louis here was "hope you're all having a lovely day... dancing on the grave of that CEO"
(A lot of people are...)

I have a similar experience with a sales job... I walked out in the first hour (actually asked a homeowner to call me a cab, because "this is just wrong" lol!). I only got that far because I had a week or so invested in seminars. I knew it was bullshit at that point, but had to follow through that far. I couldn't take the attitude of the guy that was "showing me the ropes" and his aggressive behaviour and what he was telling me to do.
However, I'm not as generous as Louis on this. Someone that makes billions of dollars from ruining people's lives can fuck all the way off, in every way...

The insurance companies send a lot of money to politicians to ensure they remain the only option for most. There's a "Medicare for all" movement, but there's little chance of that happening now with Trump and his cronies taking power next month. They want to do the complete opposite and replace Medicare with private health insurance. Corruption.
One time at work in the early 2000's I was given a couple cases to review for a former employee. The insurance company (BlueCross) wanted some codes changed so they could payout less. At the time it was about 4 years after BlueCross had denied me coverage because of a "pre-existing condition". I looked the cases over and there was absolutely no justifiable reason to change the codes, and so that was my response - DENIED! lol! Ironically they are the insurance company I've had through work for most of the last 12 years (including currently).

Yeah, "Medicare Advantage" or something like that, they are calling it, encouraging people to switch to it now. It's backed by private insurers etc. The bait at the end of the hook is what sounds like a good deal at the outset, but at the cost of getting your claims denied. These jackals literally want to loot the treasury... talking about cutting 75% of government services, to funnel money up.
So you got to help some people, or prevent them from being screwed over, at least.
Insurance is a lot friendlier here. Everyone has basic medical care, but you can get Blue Cross and shit that pays more comprehensively, things not covered by health care. Auto insurance claims are a phone call away. They aren't denied if it's all legit.

So now, there's an insurance company in Florida, Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, that is frantically auditing their policies because they have a 77% claims denial rate for hurricane Debbie. When the deck is completely stacked against you, with robber barons in government and industry, violence is the only way to effect change. It's the only language these greedy scumbuckets respond to. The CEOs of these insurance companies make millions of dollars for every hour of their lives while the people the money comes from are ruined, losing their life savings in minutes.
I'm not saying I like that, it's appalling what American society has been reduced to, but the tears shed won't come from me. It's a simple matter of physics... action and reaction.
