So unless you've been living on a deserted island you know what's been going on with the United Healthcare CEO shooting. And honestly I'm not surprised this has happened, in fact I'm surprised that it doesn't happen more often.
More than anything, I see this whole story as a failure of leadership. Corporate oppression is an issue that cuts across party lines, especially when it comes to health insurance - we ALL get the spikey dildo from the insurance companies, and everyone hates them. But when was the last time you heard anyone talking about it? When was the last time you heard any politician try to take on the health insurance companies? Where are the leaders on the left and in the democratic party on this, what are they doing and what is their plan? And I say "democrat" and "the left" because the conservatives and Republicans have already shown us they could care less if you live or die. Republicans do not give a shit if you have insurance. Trump has had eight years, and he still only has "concepts" of a plan. (Anyone remember when he claimed his healthcare plan would be unveiled in "two weeks?" Those were the days.)
I just wish that it didn't take a rich person getting blown away for us to start talking about the problems in this country.
