Comment on We really need a modern day Robin Hood hacker type

The deification of Luigi really pisses me off because he didn’t do shit to help anyone. Robin Hood wasn’t a deranged murderer, he stole from the rich to help the poor. What the fuck did Luigi actually accomplish with his idiotic “plan”? It just shows how dire the current situation is that people are desperately latching onto that clown as some kind of revolutionary, when in reality he is nothing of the sort.

In the aftermath there was a wave of insurance companies approving procedures they had been stalling for a while. People’s cancer treatments were finally approved and a multitude of common folk where allowed to live because the rich realized how vulnerable they are.

    Unfortunately the hard data on UHC’s denial rate is not public information. The company wouldn’t want all the bad publicity that would come with transparency.
    
    There would be other signs, though. For example, UHC investors suing to increase the denial rate.
    
    The lawsuit argues that the company’s changing corporate practices in the wake of Thompsons murder have been too consumer-friendly, and the investors’ profits are suffering as a result.

Luigi wasn’t deranged either. He was stopping a mass murderer who monetized suffering. Luigi made the world a better place with a little perseverance and resourcefulness. It’s admiring to see folks still want to work.

We can agree to disagree on this one, I think every single thing you said is incorrect. I hope you have a good day, and I also hope your life saving or even life improving medical treatments are never denied due to insufficient authorization.
