I kinda get that vibe from the police too. Just $10,000? Don't try too hard there, now.
I was denied emergency life saving medication by my insurance (not united iir) and ended up in the hospital the next day for a week. Billed an average $15,000 a day each day.
After the bills came in, it was apparent someone/algorithm put me in the hospital to bill the most money for profit. It was a nasty trick.
Anyways, $10,000 seems like chump change to them. More of a "well, we tried" bounty.
If anyone has information that could lead the the arrest of this suspect, then I have $10,001 that says no, they don’t.
So is there a gofundme for this or a future bail fund I can donate to?
I expect there will be after he's identified.
No chance he gets bail. A legal fund however could be useful.
Health insurance denials and other insurance BS transcend through the entire 99%, even cops.
Cops don't give a fuck.
It is the easiest go to these days (don't worry, we'll have even worse sooner than later) but look at Uvalde. Cops actively prevented parents from rescuing their children. Cops physically restrained a different cop who was trying to rescue his wife (she was murdered and he later resigned). They don't even operate in their own self interest.
So you can bet that the cop who Failure Drills the restrained suspect because "he's a professional hitman who won't be taken alive" will have denied claims and be desperate for any way to get life saving procedures done.
I know someone who lost their dad to medical issues. Their dad's insurance is asking them for $200k
When my eye condition was rapidly degenerating, insurance denied me the only procedure that could slow it down. Now my eyesight is absolute trash and the only reason I can even see is because I use $1000/lens glass lenses the size of a nickel
The deductible for my sympathy hasn't been met
Hot damn that's powerful
