Health Insurance Leaders Pressured DOJ To Charge Luigi Mangione

"Those who make peaceful reform impossible make violent revolution inevitable."

the top three DOJ officials under Attorney General Merrick Garland have all represented massive healthcare companies during their respective stints in private practice before joining the DOJ.
Because of COURSE they did! 🤦🤬
- Carlin is so relevant rn
  
  He never hasn't been.
  
  Always was but yeah, seems moreso now than ever before. Because it's gotten worse AND because we've gotten more aware of it.
- The club you are in it's bigger though, they don't want you to find out about it.
  
  There's more of us than there are of them.
  To put it another way:
  There's more Luigi's than there are healthcare CEOs.
  
  Something something el pueblo unido ✊
- People keep conflating health care providers with the insurance companies which are in the health care denial business. These are not at all the same.
  
  Lisa Monaco, the Deputy U.S. Attorney General previously worked as a partner at the law firm O'Melveny & Myers LLP. At O'Melveny & Myers, Monaco represented Humana–the fifth largest U.S. health insurance company–according to her financial disclosures. Notably, O'Melveny & Myers also successfully defended United Health in a suit brought by United health group insured patients earlier this year.
  Health "insurance" company, not provider.
  The number three at DOJ, Acting Associate AG Benjamin Mizer, also represented healthcare and pharmaceutical giant Sanofi-Aventis, among others firms.
  While not an insurance company, Sanofi-Aventis (now Sanofi) was provably corrupt and predatory on multiple occasions in multiple countries and was/is VERY much part of the same problem as United Health and the rest of the health insurance leech industry.
  Finally, #4 at DOJ, Solicitor General Elizabeth Prolegar, reported Lumos Pharma, Syneos Health, and Amgen, as former clients on her disclosure.
  Syneos have been sued for firing people who take family leave that they're legally entitled to and Amgen pleaded guilty to guilty to improper marketing that put patients at risk
  In conclusion: while you're technically right that only one of them worked for INSURANCE companies, they all worked for health sector companies that were and are part of the problem, so it's a distinction without importance in this case.

You mean to tell me that going from the street to trial in less than a month, from what would normally be a single murder charge isn't the normal way of things??
- He's only made his plea. Yes, that part happens quickly.
  EDIT: Look at the upvotes on the parent comment. Y'all are really dumb enough to think this man is going to trial right now.
  It's misinformation, it's ignorance, it may even be a lie. Downvote this crap.
  
  thank you for having some sanity….
  i’m pro luigi, anti health industrialization… but yes obviously the doj will charge you for shooting someone.
  the terrorism charge is probably where the pressure went

Oh, look, they did a corruption
- For the rich, that's an "oopsie 🤭"
  For the poor, that's a paddlin'.

Privatization of the government working well
- Drain the swamp so the water feature can be filled with leopards.
- Merrick Garland showing he was always a Republican.

The state is just the armed wing of capitalism.

When are we going to pressure the DOJ to prosecute health insurance leaders for the deaths (just one example) caused by their actions?
- about the same time we hold politicians for the people they murder.
- The Department of what, now?
  
  Corporate Justice. The C is silent.

Bought and sold

That's fine, I'm pressuring the neighborhood schizophrenics to directly pressure healthcare CEOs.
Pressure is fun, right health insurance leaders? It can make all sorts of fun things happen. Brian ~~knows~~ knew this, if only for a few seconds.
- I agree with you about CEO's but please stop using schizophrenic people as a joke or prop.
  
  Right? They probably mean Dissociative Identity Disorder too.
- This reminds me of a neat history lesson:
  https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/emma-goldman-the-tragedy-at-buffalo
  History doesnt repeat, but it certainly rhymes.
  "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable."
  It wasnt Czolgosz or Mangione that sat at the reigns of a murder machine sanctioned by baron-owned-state monopoly of violence.
  Goldman, for her part, had such a big heart for those driven to desperate acts.
  Throughout her detention and after her release, Goldman steadfastly refused to condemn Czolgosz's actions, standing virtually alone in doing so. Friends and supporters—including Berkman—urged her to quit his cause. But Goldman defended Czolgosz as a "supersensitive being" and chastised other anarchists for abandoning him.[75] She was vilified in the press as the "high priestess of anarchy",[76] while many newspapers declared the anarchist movement responsible for the murder.[77] In the wake of these events, socialism gained support over anarchism among US radicals. McKinley's successor, Theodore Roosevelt, declared his intent to crack down "not only against anarchists, but against all active and passive sympathizers with anarchists".[78]
  Berkman wasnt shit. Emma was a real one

No. Shit.

I've heard people suggest that school shooters stop butchering our kids, and instead throw their lives away doing something useful that will have them remembered as heroes.

Kill them, too.

Ju$tice

I'm shocked, shocked I tell ya!
- positively flabbergasted, dare I say

Who are these leaders? Names? Addresses?

There was a school shooting on the same day Thompson was killed. Without looking it up, can anyone name a single victim?
I'm not saying I support murder, but I don't understand why I should care more about his life than those who are objectively more innocent.
- We don’t care about his life either. It’s what he represents and how life goes on without him (possibly improved for people saved after execs have to fear for the policies they adapt).

I'm shocked! Shocked I say!
.... Well, not that shocked.
I mean, really, who didn't see this one? It was pretty blatant. The fact that we have confirmed reports of it is nice, but c'mon.

Biden could pardon him
- Nah he's not a white collar criminal who destroyed the lives of millions.
  Biden might be willing to posthumously pardon Brian Thompson for his insider trading crimes though.
- And my cats could be appointed alternating empresses of Romania.
- Can he? Honest question. Can he pardon someone who hasnt actually been convicted of anything?
  
  I don't see why not. Ford pardoned Nixon for things Nixon wasn't convicted of.
  
  Yes, but accepting the pardon is an admission of guilt, which may have other consequences.

it seems dangerous that they would explicitly name Lisa Monaco, Benjamin Mizer, and Elizabeth Prolegar as the corrupted DOJ people who support the health insurance cartel over the citizenry.

Of course they did, wouldn't expect anything else.

I'm pretty sure they were going to charge him with it without them.
