   I wrote about the coverage of the online reaction to the UnitedHealth CEO's death and how the media will always center those in power. https://www.usermag.co/p/yes-we-want-insurance-executives

     If you have watched a loved one die because an insurance conglomerate has denied their life saving treatment as a cost cutting measure, yes, it's natural to wish that the people who run such conglomerates would suffer the same fate. https://www.usermag.co/p/yes-we-want-insurance-executives

     The media doesn't see insurance CEOs who sanction the deaths of thousands of innocent people a year by denying them coverage, often coverage doctors deem medically necessary, as violent. https://www.usermag.co/p/yes-we-want-insurance-executives

     @taylorlorenz My grandmother was ill for six years before she died, and the one time I saw my own mom break down was when insurance was dicking around with her because Mum-Mum needed to be helicoptered between hospitals. Like, I'm sure she broke down more but the insurance is what got her badly enough that she couldn't hide it from us kids.
