Encouraging murder? How noble?!? That poor kid was really messed up by the “healthcare” infrastructure existing under Obamacare rules. The piss poor level of what can only be termed as “sick care” has existed in the USA for years. It got far worse under Obamacare rules.

Not having insurance can be a death sentence.
Even having insurance and then arbitrarily denied immediate necessary care because it affects a companies bottom line is an even shittier death sentence.
Fuck. That.
We can do fucking better and it's sad it took this to happen, but it's got more people at least *talking* about the industry flaws more than I've ever known.

Sickcare is absolutely the right term. Not condoning murder and also not condoning sheepish behavior. The elites at the top of the medical industry could use some fear of death like those that they proclaim to assist do on a daily basis. I urge anyone under the median income level to consider the cost of having a heart attack or get cancer and how that will affect your financial stability...

You sound like you’re parroting Fox News or your racist grandma. The affordable care act helped millions of people finally get access to healthcare they couldn’t get previously because healthcare companies were allowed to overcharge and not pay claims. The affordable care act made them give people affordable access.

Excuse the fuck out of me, but without the rules changing through Obamacare, my preexisting conditions, one that I’ve had literally 80% of my life, would not be covered. Anything to do with my thyroid prior to the rules changing under Obamacare weren’t covered by my insurance. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was 15. I’ve had migraines since I was SEVEN. Yet treatment was not covered. Anything to do with my back, since I’ve had several surgeries on it, were not covered. Go blow it out your ass about Obamacare. It’s been a life saver for a lot of people, barring people in the insurance industry not denying care anyway.
I should add that I don’t ever condone murder. What happened shouldn’t have, but it got people talking about the disparities in insurance coverage and denials. Nobody should ever be denied medical care or coverage. It shouldn’t be up to some doc in a box cubicle to determine what I need and don’t need. That’s between me and the doctor that is literally treating me. Not one that is looking at a piece of paper and influenced by his boss what to do.

First of all that’s a book title referencing how insurance companies skirt paying claims, which leads to the killing of Americans by denying lifesaving medical care. No one’s encouraging that, we don’t like that.
