All the left wingers are justifying murder because in their worldview, the CEO was a murderer too for denying claims. So if government-run healthcare denies me some care and some people die because of this rationing (whether due to delays or denial of some type of treatment, e.g. new, unproven or disproven), presumably we can murder bureaucrats and politicians

Meme - Shay 🌈🌸✨ @ShayWoulahan: "So it looks like you’re not actually against death being used to exterminate immoral actors but rather you just don’t think the rape and murder of women warrants death, and that executions should be carried out by vigilantes rather than after a due process. You’re not against the death penalty in principle, but disagree with how it should be carried out and who is worthy of it."

Calif. punk rockers call for an 'army of Luigis' at Coachella set - "Shortly after ending a blistering rendition of “Coup D’Etat” during their Coachella set, Circle Jerks frontman Keith Morris made a clarification to the moshing crowd. Although that last song ended with the words “kill all,” he made a point to say that the band does not condone what it describes, including kidnapping government leaders for ransom and leading a coup. “That song, that last line, ends with ‘kill all.’ That’s a pretty f—king ugly statement,” Morris said. “In ugly times. Do not think that we encourage that.” Then, Morris went in a different direction. “What we do encourage — what would be totally f—king happening — would be an army of Luigis,” he said, in reference to Luigi Mangione, who is currently facing both federal and New York state charges for the alleged killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson late last year"
Nick Sortor on X - "🚨 HOLY CRAP! Hannity just WRECKED ex-WaPo reporter Taylor Lorenz for gushing over Luigi Mangione and REFUSING to condemn violence against Trump and Elon Musk This was FIREY! 🔥 Lorenz says she is JOYFUL about the effects of the healthcare CEO’s assassination, even calling Luigi a “morally good man” No matter how hard he pushed, Hannity could not get Lorenz to condemn the assassination.
HANNITY: “I’m trying to understand: what is missing in your soul to not understand this was a father and husband?”"
Her refusal to answer the question was as impressive as any politician's
Journalist Taylor Lorenz Posts Pic of Blue Cross CEO After UnitedHealthcare Killing - "Taylor Lorenz -- a controversial journalist formerly of the Washington Post -- shared a photo of the Blue Cross Blue Shield CEO on the same day UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was murdered. Here's the deal ... Lorenz has posted multiple times to Bluesky and X in the aftermath of a gunman shooting and killing Thompson on a New York City street early Wednesday morning -- starting when Blue Cross Blue Shield announced it wouldn't cover anesthesia for the entirety of some surgeries... She's also reshared other threatening posts ... including one asking "hypothetically" if sending CEOs emails that say "you're next" could be considered an actionable threat. Of course, Taylor's not alone in her sentiment ... with many online applauding the shooter for taking out the rich CEO -- including more than 30K people who posted laugh-emojis at UnitedHealthcare's memorial post for Thompson."
It's only irresponsible and dangerous if it threatens the left wing agenda
Meme - Alan Cole @AlanMCole: "I'm trying as hard as I can, and I just can't figure out why Taylor Lorenz is so into Luigi Mangione but not Cody Balmer. If anything, Cody Balmer's motive is much more related to Taylor's own causes and passions. Help me out here."

Handwritten notes found in Luigi Mangione's argyle socks at court, violating his 'special treatment': Prosecutors - "Luigi Mangione violated the "special treatment" he was afforded for his last court appearance when handwritten notes were concealed inside a pair of argyle socks he was allowed to wear... [He] was given special accommodations for his "fashion needs" when he was allowed to change out of his jail-issued clothing before his Feb. 21 court appearance... The defense team gave a court officer a bag of clothes, which included a new pair of argyle socks wrapped around cardboard, the filing said. "Secreted in the cardboard were two personal heart-shaped notes, one addressed to an unknown person named 'Joan' and the other to Luigi stating in part 'know there are thousands of people wishing you luck'"... "In spite of this, the defendant was permitted to wear the argyle socks, which he first changed into and later changed out of because he felt that 'they did not look good'"... Prosecutors also said in Wednesday's court filing that Mangione does not need his own "specially formulated laptop" in jail because he "fails to show a necessity" to receive one. Mangione's attorneys asked that he be provided with a laptop "modified to the detention center’s regulations" so he can view videos, photos and other evidence... Few inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn are given laptops. Prosecutors said Mangione "has ample access to desktop computers" that he can use to review evidence, conduct legal research, send emails and draft motions. "Ironically, the defense repeats at every opportunity that defendant is being treated differently than other defendants similarly situated. Yet, that's precisely what the defense seeks -- special treatment for defendant, without circumstances that warrant it," Assistant District Attorney Joel Seidemann said... the backpack Mangione was carrying when he was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, five days after the murder was full of items that could suggest he intended to remain on the run and, possibly, kill again. The backpack had a gun, a Glock magazine, 9 mm cartridges and a silencer, along with a knife, phone charger, duct tape, passport, zip ties, clothes, a computer and handwritten notes, the automatic discovery form said. Authorities also found receipts for items purchased at a CVS and for registration at a New York City hostel under the name Mark Rosario, which matches the name on a fake New Jersey driver's license Mangione allegedly carried."
Drew Pavlou on X - "Brian Thompson pulled himself up from nothing - just a normal guy from a working class family in a rural area to CEO of America's largest healthcare provider. Only to be executed by some rich kid whose grandad owned golf courses and a radio station. I stand with Brian Thompson"

Albert Lee on X - "In America, you and your doctor can both agree that you need a surgery but you have to get permission from a third-party for-profit insurance company or it can't be paid for. It's called freedom."
Left wingers are going to be very upset when they realise that government-run healthcare doesn't pay for everything a doctor prescribes
If a doctor says a patient needs a medical treatment that costs $1 billion with unproven efficacy and questionable benefits and a health insurance company refuses to approve it, it shows that the health insurance system is broken
What medicines are covered by insurance? | Government.nl - "The standard package covers most medicines prescribed by your general practitioner or consultant. In some cases you may have to pay part of the cost yourself. Or your insurer may only provide full cover for the cheapest version of a drug. The cost of medicines that are covered by your insurance policy is first deducted from your excess.
Health insurers only provide cover for registered drugs that are included in the Medicines Reimbursement System...
Most health insurers only provide cover for the cheapest version of a medicine"
The US sucks and needs to learn from Europe. They'd never deny coverage for a prescription there
Meme - Dr. Maddkap, Werepsychologist: "My doctor prescribed a medication that I need. Why the hell do we allow there to be anything beyond that in the approval process? MY DOCTOR, who I have seen for years, who is a CREDENTIALED and LICENSED PRACTIONER, has developed a treatment plan for ME. How did we ever allow an insurance company to say "Mmmm no, sorry, we don't agree. We won't pay for that." It's your JOB TO PAY FOR IT. It's literally why have insurance. It should just be illegal for an insurance company to refuse to cover something your doctor prescribes."
Ann Ashenfelder Littell: "The problem on the other side is that drug companies pay people to visit doctors, give them samples, and try to convince them to prescribe the new, expensive medication. Some drug companies even give presents or kickbacks to doctors who prescribe certain amounts of the new drug. So, doctors may think about some of these newer drugs before considering older drugs that aren't giving them gifts. So, in SOME cases, it insurance companies are trying to get doctors to prescribe older medications, and preferably ones with a generic, because they are MUCH less expensive."

Meme - MattHagen @MattHagen: "Funny how many Kyle Rittenhouse fans suddenly have changed their opinions on vigilantism."
"SAINT LUIGI"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know: "Missing context: Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges after testifying that he acted in defense. Luigi Mangione would not be able to claim that he acted in self defense."
Left wing logic: the health insurance CEO murdered a lot of people by denying claims, so killing him was justified
Rikki Schlott on X - "Leftist women fetishizing Luigi Mangione are living out a weird, repressed, politicized fantasy of masculinity. After years of harping on toxic masculinity, shaming men, and stiff-arming chivalry, women on the left have fixated on Mangione because he represents a sort of masculinity they are finally allowed to celebrate, because it’s politically coded as acceptable — anti-capitalist, anti-corporate. They’ve fancied themselves damsels in distress, held captive by the insurance industry in the cavernous tower of the healthcare system. Mangione is their knight in shining armor, fighting on their behalf, slaying the enemy, taking up arms to defend their cause. In our age where masculinity is toxic, vigilantism is fetishized."
Luigi Mangione's family operated nursing home empire that was cited for abuse and health violations - "The for-profit Lorien Health Services network, founded by Mangione’s affluent grandparents, touts its nine Maryland homes as idyllic places with the promise of top-class services and amenities that include restaurant-style dining, movie theaters and even beauty spas. But at least two of the homes have been hit with low ratings by Medicare.gov for health inspections and quality-of-life issues, with one slammed with a warning label over reports of abuse. The Lorien Nursing and Rehab Center, in Bel Air, was accused of mistreating its patients in several incidents that occurred inside the home, according to an April 2024 inspection by HSS. The report found that on August 24, 2023, a geriatric nursing assistant (GNA) flung a call bell at a resident who needed help using the bathroom, warning the patient “not to press the button again.” That same day, the GNA was also accused of being too rough when assisting a resident who needed to be turned over in bed, with the staff later medicating the patient with Tylenol for the pain. While the GNA was fired over the bell-flinging incident, the HHS inspection found that the company failed in its due diligence after reviewing the nurse’s file and finding that they had not completed their annual abuse training since 2020. The report also cited several claims from residents that the nursing staff failed to respond to their calls for assistance in a timely manner, with some waiting nearly an hour to get help... Overall, the Bel Air facility has been hit with 24 health citations over the last six years, nearly three times more than the national average of 9.6 citations. Lorien’s Columbia facility, meanwhile, had to pay a $24,680 fine in July following an HHS inspection that found a plethora of health and safety violations in the nursing home. The July report also recorded a slew of incidents throughout the year in which staff regularly mismanaged patients’ health care needs and failed to communicate with each other, the residents or the families of the residents. The mismanagement caused moments of distress for the patients, including one incident in which a resident who needed help getting dressed was left alone and naked on a bed when another patient of the opposite gender walked into the room... The Office of Inspector General for the HSS claimed Lorien “allegedly submitted claims for services provided by an individual impersonating licensed nursing staff, using stolen credentials.” Officials also said that “after Lorien learned the employee was an imposter and unlicensed, Lorien failed to timely report and return to Medicare and Medicaid payments received for services furnished by the employee.”... The company’s health care violations have received renewed public interest given Mangione’s alleged hatred of the industry flagged in his manifesto, according to police. “These parasites simply had it coming,” Mangione wrote, according to law enforcement. In his writings, Mangione railed against the “greed” of private insurers that he accused of putting their profits above the well-being of their clients. Authorities also found engravings on the bullets used by the assassin, which appear to include the words “deny,” “depose” and “defend” — words eerily similar to a 2010 book condemning the insurance business, titled “Delay, Deny, Defend: Why insurance companies don’t pay claims and what you can do about it.”"

Luigi Mangione sex tape bombshell as CEO assassin suspect filmed 'at least 20' cinema-style porn videos: 'He wanted to be watched' - "Luigi Mangione allegedly made upwards of 20 highly stylized sex tapes before he was arrested on charges of shooting dead a healthcare CEO in New York City... 'He wanted to be watched. He got off on it. There are at least 20 videos of him having sex.' The person went on to say 'a lot of the girls are too afraid to come forward or tell anyone for fear they might get dragged into his case somehow.'"
Luigi Mangione getting his own musical -- after alleged murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO - "Luigi Mangione will soon be immortalized on a San Francisco stage in a sickening musical comedy glorifying the alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO gunman. “Luigi the Musical,” slated to debut at the Taylor Street Theater on June 13, promises a “bold, campy and unafraid” take on the life and times of the man accused of perpetrating an assassination that left two young children without a father. Opening night is already sold out on the official website, which uses the tagline “A story of love, murder and hash browns,” a reference to Mangione scarfing down the McDonald’s menu item before his arrest in Pennsylvania. The official synopsis of the musical calls it, “A wildly irreverent, razor-sharp comedy that imagines the true story of Luigi Mangione, the alleged corporate assassin turned accidental folk hero.”"
