The gunman who shot United Health CEO Brian Thompson is apparently accustomed to shooting people. In the video footage, he seems preternaturally calm, collected, and deliberate. Note especially how he walks towards the man he has just shot in the back to fire a few final shots at closer range. He has a strangely unhurried and casual gait, and he never looks back to see if anyone might be closing in from behind.
He strikes me as extremely confident that no one is around to intervene and that he will have no problem escaping.
Seems like alot of dumb and misguided hatred on "insurance" companies by some on the Right in the rage-fest this week.
As if the health insurance industry's whopping 5% profit margin is the reason why US healthcare is so expensive and inaccessible to some? Anyone think the government could manage all payments, coverages, negotiations (and yes - rationing) between healthcare providers and recipients more efficiently and equitably than private insurance does at $0.05 on the dollar?
The major costs of our healthcare is the cost of doctors, nurses, hospitals, facilities, drugs and hospital administrators navigating through all the regulatory hoops government has thrown at this heavily regulated industry.
Are Leftists going to start gunning down high paid doctors, nurses and drug CEO's next?
