"Well, you see, we watched the news yesterday, and..."
They saw the news today, oh boy…
"misinformation" about their policies huh?
Til next year when things cool down. These a holes love to pull a fast one. The money seems a little greener if they fool you into thinking you're not getting fucked.
Copying my comment from another thread:
Okay, no. Anthem were looking to implement this in Connecticut, New York and Missouri, with Colorado and other states being brought into this policy later on.
Anthem has only backed off this policy in Connecticut. The other states are still currently on the table.
This article doesn't say it's only Connecticut.
Source?
Anthem backed off from Connecticut and NY.

Missourians need to riot
KILLING THE RULERS WORKS.
It feels like the mods have given up on trying to keep the bloodlust for CEOs at bay. Every other thread is just littered with appreciation for the gunman. I'm quite ok with that.
Give them time, they are volunteers.
The majority of my post history since the heroic slaying of Brian Thompson is removed and post_no_longer_exists
That's a badge of honor, truly.
Can we talk freely now? The causes of our problems have address. They can only promote so many executives before they wise up.
National rally for Purge
Not all CEOs are billionaires. We should focus on billionaires
They found out what happens if they fuck around.
Nah they'll just let the heat die down.
Another log in the fire keeps it burning.
In a board meeting, they huddle together joking and jostling. “Haha, what are those passed out pieces of shit gonna do, shoot us?” The roar of laughter gradually subsides as a soft set of chirps make their way around the table, and everyone checks their phones. Most notifications read to the effect of “have you seen this??” with a link to an article.
The mood in the room grows colder and more pragmatic as they begin weighing their safety against their wages.
How does that math work out when their wages are worth about as much as 1000 average human lives?
My Econ professor would have quickly assessed the situation and commanded them to shut up and deny care. My ethics professor would have brought a spare magazine.
Life is more valuable than us poor folks realise
"It could be anyone. Anywhere. Any time! God forbid my picture is plastered everywhere. All the bodyguard protection barely Donnie, protectafter all!"
Bullying works!
Let’s see how long it takes for mods to censor this type of talk.
This is a HORRIBLE Decision that will Save THOUSANDS of Lives! WHY did that Poor CEO have to be Assassinated? If only He survived and we got to have Insurance Companies tell us we can't have Anesthesia for our Surgeries!
Here is the little trick that insurance companies play with anesthesia. You go to a hospital that is in your plan, but every person that sees you in the hospital is not on the same plan. When you go in for surgery the anesthesiologist is not on your plan so you get to pay the full price not even the limited coverage. It is not like you get to ask while your going under am I covered? What a racket these shit stains have.
That's referred to as "surprise billing' and it was made illegal in 2022. I have no idea how bulletproof the law is though.
Probably more than Brian Thompson was.
its been a while since I shot the drink in my mouth out my nose, especially if due to such a low hanging fruit
In all proposed states or just one of the proposed states?
Weird timing.
But come out to the street here though, we'll talk it over some more...
This is a valid tactic
