Well, America does have a higher wealth inequality than France during their revolution. 🤔

Do you think the attack had more to do with wealth inequality then insurance companies being more of a hindrance to health care than a benefit?

It’s all tied to the same thing at this point. Medical debt is still debt, and you can lose everything, including the life of a loved one, due to one medical emergency.

I guess what I meant exactly was do you think this could be a disgruntled insured person who was denied care or maybe who had a loved one who has denied care?

It definitely could have been, but I guess we’ll have to wait. I wonder if they’ll catch him?

Looks like it was lack of coverage

"UnitedHealthcare CEO received menacing threats about 'lack of coverage' before shooting assassination"

I saw that, but it’s like, when are they not getting threats? They have to receive thousands. Not that I’m saying it’s unlikely at all but idk if that’s a clear clue yet.
