Summary
Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was fatally shot in a premeditated attack outside the New York Hilton Midtown before speaking at an investor conference.
The gunman, still at large, fired multiple times, leaving shell casings marked with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose.”
Authorities suggest Thompson was targeted but remain unclear on the motive. His wife confirmed prior threats against him.
Analysts speculate a possible vendetta tied to his company. The case raises questions about executive security, as Thompson lacked personal protection despite known risks.
Quick question, which country has the most doctors per capita in the world?
I didn’t ask bout doctors - I said hospitals. The answer to that would be Guinea Bissau. I’ll concede this point to you even though the top answers are largely skewed due to the physical size of these locations (Sweden is the most reasonable answer outside tiny Cuba and Monaco).
Help me figure this out. In the region I’ve lived my whole life, older hospitals that were initially established by churches have been left to crumble or have been bought out by other corporate run healthcare facilities. So, without these new hospitals, in your mind, what would the future of health care have been in this region?

Where would the socialist money come from to maintain the hospital? Local tax payers? The State? The Fed? I can tell you the region these hospitals are crumbling in are themselves crumbling. The people who haven’t left are poor and have no taxes to help.

I have other friends in sports. Tell me how all the hundreds of millions and billions they’ve made is exploitive.

Ok. Well I can’t understand how you think an athlete is stealing money they’ve signed a contract to receive. Do you think you’re stealing money at your job? Is your 50 year old friend stealing money? At what point are you not stealing money? Who decides what’s theft or what’s not?

Do you have any idea how an economy actually works? Money doesn’t build buildings. It doesn’t treat sick patients. It doesn’t conduct medical research. People and their labor do all of that.
Ok. I guess you can work for free.
Yeah and then you won’t be able to pay for housing built by other working class people and food grown by other working class people. Wait that’s weird. I can’t seem to find the billionaires in that equation. It’s almost like the needs of working class people could be met by… other working class people.
Sure is neat how .ml is full of tankies.
So many words and yet you didn’t answer the question.
I did.
Where in your answer did you say. “Cuba has the most doctors per capita”? Because all I see is you trying to weasel your way out of answering directly. I mean like do you even understand how absurd you sound trying to relativize Cuba with Monaco?
I’m not sure how the size of Cuba has any connection to numbers of doctors per capita. In any case, they didn’t used to have nearly so many, it was just like any other poor, exploited, undeveloped nation, and people frequently died from lack of care. When the communists came to power, they immediately focused on things like education and healthcare, and now they have so many doctors they regularly send them out to other countries in humanitarian missions, where before they were the ones in need of humanitarian aid. So yes, just looking from past examples, there would definitely be doctors and hospitals with communists in charge, moreso than under capitalism even, and more accessible.
Obviously, you’d just have the state build those hospitals. What reason is there that hospitals should be profit-seeking?
