    All the “my claims magically aren’t being denied anymore after the 4th” posts are telling me that this action has already started saved lives. Theres a national conversation now happening about how the industry got so bad that more Americans are celebrating this execution than not, and what needs to be done to (nonviolently) fix the problem. Publicly killing a CEO proved to be an effective solution literally in the first 24 hours.

      Not that I don’t believe you, but do you have any sources on that? If so, I want to spread the news.

        The posts about claim-reversals are just something I’ve seen a few posts about here and on FB, no news sources.

        I do have a semi-related Snopes article: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/anthem-blue-cross-shield-anesthesia/ Anthem BCBS had an unpopular anesthesia policy that they walked back on December 5th. Probably a coincidence.

        But also, here’s several stories about people expressing their outrage.

        Americans hate their private health insurance

        Brian Thompson’s killing sparks outrage over state of US healthcare

        UnitedHealthcare Denies More Claims Than Other Insurers — Angering Patients And Health Systems

        After shooting, UnitedHealthcare comes under scrutiny for AI use in treatment approval

        All of these had been in the news, but the killing has pushed the conversation center stage. It’s a strange and funny time too, since Trump is promising to roll back the ACA and make all of this much worse. People apparently just have no idea that the ACA and Obamacare are the same thing, or that it’s the reason they even have insurance at all.
