Noticed the Connecticut exemption, must be a law there. I'll take "laws you wouldn't think could be necessary" for $400, Alex. Guess we better get California working on that as well.

So they can hurt millions of people all just a little bit more but somehow they are the good guys worth protecting?
Yeah, we'd be right to start carving names into bullets too. And yet people in charge can't figure out why protecting these people and their money means the mass populace hates them.
I'd say any surgery without anesthesia is hurting more than a little bit. What are we, Gaza?

The doctor took too long, and now your coverage is gone. That’s what happened. Bakow!
Sure would be a shame if another targeted assassination was carried out... I might even cry a little (don't look too closely, I'm not laughing, I'm crying).

Interesting timing for this given the United healthcare CEO assassination yesterday

Evil comes in all shapes and sizes.
From January 2011 to November 2014, she served as the chief executive officer of UnitedHealthcare
Small world, when you move in those circles. Imagine how these people convince themselves they're doing something good and admirable.

Biden could pardon the assassin...
How would Biden pardon him? Is there a federal crime here?
Doubtful. It’s probably a state crime.
He would have to be known. I would rather the guy stay anon so his life isn't ruined. He can live the rest of his life without the fear of corpo vengeance. Also he probably would never be able to be insured again lol. Either that or he's terminal and his care was denied so he had nothing to lose.
Pardons don't have to be specific, they've been used to pardon whole groups of people before (although it's properly called an amnesty, in that case) https://www.justsecurity.org/73851/the-constitutionality-of-non-specific-pardons/
I got diagnosed with stage 3 cancer in 2022 (cured now). I can totally see how someone could go full The Punisher on healthcare execs if their life-saving treatment was denied. The problem isn't facing your own mortality, that doesn't take long to process. What is an impossible pill to swallow is the thought of leaving your loved ones drowned in an avalanche of medical debt and possible financial ruin. Fuck that.

Someone should start a petition
Was thinking about it. Even if it's not taken seriously and even if it never gets Joe Biden signature, this would be a real good way to send a message to the nation. Just how many people the absolute number of people who are angry to the point of letting people kill CEO's Because of injustice and inequality.

FTFY. It makes the people desperate enough to buy her product.

Well I certainly hope we don't need to see someone step in to explain to the company how wrong this is.
