United Healthcare CEO shot and killed

So far Medicare been very very good to me. I do have the "retired State Employee Humana Prescription thing " going

I generally agree with your sentiment. My Medicare Advantage provider, Aetna, is owned by the place I get my prescriptions filled, CVS. The only prescription (Xarelto, one of six I take) I actually have an out-of-pocket cost for is on the list to those that Medicare has recently been given permission to negotiate a lower price on. But even now, my weekly cost for Xarelto is only a little more than a single visit to TCBY.

[...] than a single visit to TCBY.

TIL that TCBY is still in business.

It's the best yogurt, not the best business plan.

Thought the title for this piece was insightful "Fan Club for Suspected Shooter Is a Symptom of Burn-It-All-Down Populism" Some interesting commentary in the piece, but really just admiring the title.

TY. Just as stupid as I thought it would be.

Particularly the piece about provider rates that centrist pundits have latched onto in recent weeks.

Blame Health Insurers for Exorbitant Health Care Costs

Since the shooting of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, a number of pundits have claimed that the main cause of exorbitant US health care costs is overcharging by providers, not health insurance companies. The argument doesn’t hold up: insurers are mostly to blame.

I didn’t know this reference until about six months ago. It was a top 25 all-time YouTube experience.

Yeah, I’ve watched that show beginning to end twice and always thought Matthew Berry created that language quirk for Lazlo. When I saw the YouTube video, it all fell into place.

Anyone wondering about this, here's the YouTube link. Wikipedia has an entry called Democracy Manifest with more details.

I think every deported immigrant needs to loudly ask if the charge is eating a meal, a succulent Chinese meal.

I never cease to be amazed at how much weirder the world is than I have any comprehension of.

That 7% number seems inconsistent with the Yes/No/Don't know numbers directly above it. or the "Total Net" number is calculated using numbers I don't see in this table.

The total net is yes's minus no's. It basically says a small majority of the people under 45 would report the murderer and a large majority of the people over 45 would report the murderer.

It's a little cut off but it looks like people under 45 and black people are almost equally reluctant to report the white murderer. I'm a little surprised. I wouldn't have thought a young white male would have been statistically significant between blacks and whites.
