Yes, "The American Dream" aka, fucking over your fellow common man for a buck.
I read a comment the other day that's stuck with me, I can't remember the precise wording but it was something like:
"Every cent spent on this man's funeral was made on the back of someone else's"
Gang you are missing the point. Thompson worked really hard from humble beginnings to become the absolute best at being a horrible human being. That’s gotta count for something, right? /s
In capitalism it counts for everything
Got rich trampling over as many people as possible then died by gun violence. A true blue american boy
world's most important companies
That's hilariously American defaultism considering most of the world doesn't need companies like UHC
I wonder what their market share is in England or Japan.

Mussolini interned at a bakery one summer and attempted to learn the harmonica, you judgemental monsters...

Many people will switch from unitedparasites nezt year so at least his shiti employer will also suffer then.
Most of us don't choose who insures us - our company or personal finances do. There's no market here for people to walk away with their dollars. Anything even a little outside the system has been crushed.
Companies that don't provide benefits with uhc might have an easier time poaching employees from companies that do, after the higher denials has been highlighted so much.
Large employers provide options... Smaller ones you are correct.
