If it's not in a contract you don't have to do it.

Employment is typically at will. You can be terminated for any reason, or no reason.

Ah, sounds like someone who finally snapped after years of trying to get through the voicemail tree to find out why his claim wasn't paid.

DOGEWontAmountToShit says

The real answer is to require that all non-emergency costs be explicitly and completely listed IN ADVANCE OF TREATMENT so that people can shop around, and to limit emergency costs by law to reasonable levels. Any non-emergency charge you did not agree to in writing in advance should be invalid.

The free market can fix this.

Misc says

I expect to see a lot more of this type of crime going forward.

Yes, the obvious corruption of our current system which traps and milks the public into poverty for the benefit of big campaign donors makes it seem inevitable that some individuals will take matters into their own hands.

The legitimate avenues for redress of grievances have been effectively closed off by that corruption. In theory you can get justice, in reality, absolutely not unless you are extremely wealthy.

Part of smashing the Admin State is smashing the bullshit invoices concealed as regulatory compliance, risk avoidance, etc.

If it's taxable, it's negotiable.

Many hospital charges are as obnoxious as "Dealer Prep Fees" at the car lot. Ain't no dealer paid somebody for 80 hours of work in the low teens/hour to clean up one car delivered straight from the factory.

You typically sign an employment agreement at the start of employment. I've never read anything about vaccines or my medical records in what I signed. If you're 1099 you get to do what you want. Large companies and even small all have an employment agreement.

Know your rights and don't be lazy is my advice. Don't just get a shot because you were told to do so.

The at-large suspect who gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a Midtown hotel may have left a message on the bullets he used to kill the executive Wednesday morning, according to police sources.

The NYPD is investigating the possible message — which appears to include the words “deny,” “depose” and “defend” — engraved on live rounds and shell casings left behind by the masked assassin after he shot Thompson, 50, several times at about 6:46 a.m. before fleeing, the sources said.

The words are possible attacks on the health insurance industry, in which Thompson is one of the most powerful leaders — and strikingly similar to a 2010 book condemning the business.

OK, seems to have been one of the millions of customers fucked over by UnitedHealthcare.

UnitedHealthcare’s Chief Executive Officer, Brian Thompson, 50, was assassinated right outside the New York City Hilton around 6am yesterday morning. The whole thing was captured on the hotel’s security camera, and the video leaked even faster than the shell casing story.

The masked shooter, who during the killing calmly and coolly cleared his jammed gun three times before finishing the job, casually mounted a strategically placed, city-provided electric scooter and scooted to Central Park, where the trail went cold. Progressives applauded the gunman’s choice of an environmentally friendly getaway vehicle and invited the killer to emcee next year’s Oscars.

Seriously, the scooter was a smart choice; fast enough to evade cops chasing him on foot and agile enough to weave through Manhattan traffic and use sidewalks, evading vehicular pursuit.

Demonstrating even more environmental sensitivity, the killer kindly left behind in a nearby trash can a Starbucks coffee cup (empty) and a water bottle (empty). So there’s plenty of evidence. Let’s see how long it takes them to arrest someone. ...

There are several suggestive facts. First, United was being probed by the DOJ for antitrust violations and for insider trading, with company officers (including Thompson) having dumped United shares without disclosing the DOJ investigation to shareholders, who could be grumpy. Next, the insurer boasts the highest claims denial rate of any health insurer. Thompson’s widow said he regularly got death threats from people whose claims were denied, who are probably even more grumpy. ...

The evidence most exciting the internet this morning were the cryptic words scratched onto the left-behind shell casings. ABC, whose reporters must have great NYPD connections, broke the bizarre story of the killer’s terse message in brass:

The words "deny, "defend" and "depose" were discovered by detectives on
the shell casings found at the scene where Brian Thompson, the CEO of
major insurance group UnitedHealthcare, was gunned down, police sources
told ABC News late Wednesday evening.

The words suggest some sort of connection to a 2020 book exposing the evils of the insurance industry, titled “Delay Deny Defend--Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It.” The book, which painted insurance companies as soulless monsters, not without reason, is currently rated #1 in “Business Insurance” on Amazon.

As enticing as the shell casing message may be, in truth it adds little by itself. Even if the words etched on the bullets do refer to the book, they could easily be red herrings meant to draw the investigation off the trail. (If the shooter turns out to be the relative of a United insuree who died recently, it would become more meaningful.) ...

I am more interested in the insanely ironic pandemic connection, which doesn’t even need speculation.

💉 I’m not referring to UnitedHealthcare’s controversial “vaccinate or terminate” mandate, which was one of the earliest, requiring employees to be “fully vaccinated” no later than November 30th, 2021. I’m not talking about United’s horrible policy of denying religious exemptions and firing religious employees whose consciences stopped them getting the shots...

I’m not talking about allegations of how United helped the CDC disguise the vaccine injury data or routinely mislabel vaccinated folks as unvaccinated whenever they died post-jab. Nor even United’s grotesque cooperation with the federal government to help push vaccine mandates down the chain, or its offering incentives for jab-pushing doctors to coerce patients into take unsafe and ineffective shots.

Anti-corporate vigilantism. Its time has come. Was it some kind of personal triumph of individual justice against the machine and shooter didn't care what happened to him? He didn't seem to be hiding that much. I think pro assassins would have been more careful.

I've been waiting to hear about the lobbying and feedback corruptions with DC, which would have warranted the Killary approach to the executive if he was turning State's evidence.

Different backpack. Didn't jacket.

But at least there are the correct number of fingers.

Question is, patsy or actual shooter? If it was an 'official' act of termination, then a patsy would be warranted. One pick shows a backpack, the other a military type duffel.

Maybe the shooter is back in Ukraine already waiting for his next job.

Ceffer says

I'm surprised we haven't seen more of this, given the truly extreme corruption of the last few years, with Fauci never being prosecuted for creating the virus in Wuhan and the mass violation of fundamental human rights, like the right to refuse to be part of a medical experiment.

David Muir, ABC news apparatchik.

Smart enough to use a scooter and make a clean exit but stupid enough to leave a used cup? Naw, this was a pro and the engraved casings and discarded cups were to throw the cops and public off the trail. No amateur could have methodically shot someone so coldly.

https://thefarcefeed.substack.com/p/revealed-assassinated-health-insurance

Manhattan, NY – In a twist that reads like a script from a political thriller, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been implicated as the mastermind behind the assassination of Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealth Group. The motive? A denied mammogram.

According to leaked insurance documents, Clinton’s primary care physician requested the routine procedure, citing "just making sure everything’s all good in there." UnitedHealth, however, labeled the test “unnecessary” under her plan. “We don’t cover peace of mind,” the company allegedly told her in a rejection letter signed by Thompson himself. Mere days after this fateful decision, Thompson was found with multiple bullet wounds courtesy of a silenced pistol wielded by a masked man in a hoodie, who vanished into the bustling crowd of midtown Manhattan.

This revelation has naturally reignited the internet’s favorite pastime: speculating about the so-called "Clinton Body Count." Astute amateur detectives immediately linked Thompson's demise to a pattern of untimely deaths surrounding the Clintons, from Vince Foster to that guy who "accidentally tripped onto his own katana."

Clinton’s representatives were quick to denounce the rumors, calling them “ludicrous.” They noted that the former Secretary of State has “absolutely no time to orchestrate assassinations between her yoga classes and mock-human sacrifices in worship of Moloch, god of the underworld.”

But let's not let the drama overshadow the real issue here: the healthcare system in the United States continues its reign of terror on the wallets of the average middle-class American. Monthly premiums for health insurance have skyrocketed, turning what once was a benefit into a luxury akin to owning a yacht. Families across the nation now face the Herculean task of navigating through plans where even a simple doctor visit can break the bank, with deductibles so high they might as well be called "out-of-reach-ibles."

The irony is palpable: while CEOs might meet their end over a denied medical procedure, the average American might wish they could be so lucky to afford one. The system, critics argue, has become a labyrinth where the minotaur is a relentless billing department.

As the nation grapples with the brazen assassination of a high profile figure, the average American must contend with a broken system where staying alive feels less like a right and more like a luxury. Maybe, just maybe, instead of bullets, it's time to launch reforms. After all, if this satirical take on events teaches us anything, it’s that when the healthcare system lets you down, not even wealthy CEOs are safe.

Would the police even be looking for the killer if the victim were not a CEO?
I didn't think so.

gabbar says

This is pretty much fact. I'm a year deep. I don't want medication, but it's taken 9 months to even consider anything and what they gave me was trash. Putting people to sleep and not getting anything done causes MORE stress. Which was the cause of my seizure.

I seized Monday again. I was on the median about to hit a tree driving. Not a joke. I'm mostly done driving the kids at this point. Sucks. We take two cars to everything now. I know the precursor issues though now after the second time and will just pull over and let it happened. I don't do stress well. Monday was stressful. Sounds weak, but I don't care. Not killing myself or my kids because I go full zombie mode.

https://bigcountryexpat.com/index.php/2024/12/05/and-you-expected-something-different/

NOW what would be extraordinarily hilarious would be the next guy -womever he is- who steps in and takes over, that he also gets blown the fuck away. As well as any other major CEO of these diseased and felonious corporate empires whose sole purpose is to drain the cash from the working class… the very example of a parasitic corporate entity who make their INSANE profits off the misery of people.

OK, I admit laughing out loud at that. This Big Country Expat guy is even crustier than I am.

Beginning to think the shooter might be a foreign asset who exfiltrated. That seems to be a stock in trade, and why he was so casual. He had his escape plan routed to become gone goose. Facial recognition would have nailed him already? Pros usually aren't that careless, but the shooter was almost relaxed like he was well practiced.

The writing on the casings was chaff? Something around the company is blowing up in political faces? Burned the wrong pols or congress critters? A little pre-weeding of a witness testimony pool? Partners in crime and fellow execs? Seems to be bigger than an angry client.

It is not safe for you to be driving. Any responsible health care professional will tell you it is not worth the risk. You don’t want someone else’s injury or death on your conscience.

Moreso you keep saying you got money, you may want to spend some regardless of insurance on a quality medical center specializing in seizures as quite often they can map the brain and figure out the exact region responsible, and if feasible they can remove a small part and cure you forever.

Doing a 48 hour EEG. We'll see what comes of that.

I'm driving regardless. I have insurance, auto, health and life. I'm not gonna stop living. If it kills someone my apologies in advance. Maybe learn to hit the brakes and pay attention? Novel idea. You're at a larger risk than me seizing than someone on a phone. So there's that. High. Drunk. I'm the least of anyone's worries. Have the record to prove it.

@WookieMan CBD has also been used successfully to treat epilepsy.

Shouldn't drink alcohol if you are having seizures, but that's the usual advice that goes over like a lead balloon.

Is what it is. I know the triggers now. It's stress related. I hate driving. I'm probably the angriest driver you'd meet.

I'll look into the CBD. I don't want to feel high or buzzed is all. I don't believe it does that, but I also don't want anything in my system that could get me in trouble. I stopped regular THC weed April 2023.

I have insomnia. 3-4 hours sleep best case. So that doesn't help and melatonin knocks me on my ass the next morning for the dose I need and I'm the guy that has to get the kids going in the morning. I can't sleep in. 5:30am wake up times for basketball practice right now. Wife is at the gym. I'm starting to think it's sleep deprivation related, but I can't change her or my schedule with the kids.

I do a lot for working part time. Every basketball game I have to go to two 7th and 8th grade gams. I want to go, but it's 3-4 hours with drive time depending on away games. Then "granny" shows up and wants to go out to eat after the game. Another hour. 3 kids, 2 adults so it's a load of dishes and laundry daily, my job.

I don't think a lot of you here have kids. The only reason I find time here is because I don't sleep. If I was drinking too much I'd just be knocked out all the time and never post. Also only have beer at night. Also 6'3" 220lbs so I'm not the typical 5'9" 150-60lbs male. I'm not the typical you had 3 beers you're an alcoholic. I feel nothing on 3.

Fact is the wife has a high demand job. She stresses me out. 3 kids stress me out. Driving stresses me out. Maybe I need to eat shit and just get a Tesla. Not joking. Not getting rid of the wife or kids. I just need less stress and more sleep. I'm due for a new car and the oldest is gonna need a car. He can take mine.

You’ve got to chill out. Don’t take rude drivers personally. Exercise will help you chill out. Experience the joy of routine cardio and resistance training. Just a long walk could do it.

It seems some people got screwed by HR retards. It is law. It's contract law. I've never signed a damn thing for employment that had anything to do with a vaccine. I've worked for big corps. I used to keep my documents while employed, but I've gotten rid of them so can't prove it. I was a spoiled kid with an attorney as a father. He looked over documents for a $9/hr job.

I know my shit on this topic. It's an easy multi-million dollar lawsuit on this vaccine issue. Why in the flying fuck would your company be honest with you knowing their end of the bargain will cost millions. They lie to you to scare you. Private or Public companies cannot force you to inject anything. 100% fact. Government is a different topic. Like military.

Just because people say they were forced to that's 100% bull shit. Again, no private or public company can force you to inject something into your body. People got pressured by HR in all cases and caved and now are embarrassed.
