In the US we have a type of organized crime run by health insurance companies.
Corporations like United Healthcare charge huge monthly premiums then consistently refuse up to 30% of valid claims. They make the appeals process so difficult and time consuming most people never successfully appeal a denial. These companies routinely murder thousands of people each year for money, but since they pay off our lawmakers there are zero repercussions and they're free to continue their murderous activities year after year.
The only difference between this and any other type of organized crime is the profits are legal due to those payoffs, and in part thanks to Citizen's United and our crooked SCOTUS justices.
That is a social problem not organized crime.
Consider this:
The mafia creates a health insurance company that boost profits by immediately refusing to pay 1/3 of legitimate claims and this causes the deaths and suffering of hundreds of thousands of people. They make the red tape so egregious that very, very few of these people can successfully get their valid claims paid.
The mafia is making massive amounts of unearned profits but they can make more, so they pay off government representatives to make sure there are no meaningful penalties for refusing to pay claims and any fines imposed are way less than the profits made. The mafia makes billions of dollars paid for by the deaths and suffering of those who bought their insurance.
Replace "mafia" with "shareholders" or "corporate executives"and it is exactly the system we have now. It is rightly called organized crime (even without the government involvement), despite the corporate brainwashing.
There was a movie made about this practice. It's called "The Rainmaker".
If somebody does a bad thing, but that bad thing is legal, they're still not a criminal.
Legalized murder is still murder. Organized crime has compromised government regulators and lawmakers many times and it's still organized crime. Your comment is invalid.
Oor is that "murder" an execution, or a lawful military strike? All amount to killing people.
And, for what it's worth, most people aren't strict pacifists, so the majority opinion is that killing people can be good, in addition to legal.
Not something I'd expect when discussing organized crime and the legalized murder of people paying companies for insurance coverage. Unfortunately on social media there's always some contrarian will take the opposite position no matter what is said. Today that's you.
You know, forget about just wars, or moral vs. legal.
This was a question about mafias. Literal mafias, and I think you know the difference. By trying to force this to be another US political thread, you've become whatever the opposite of a contrarian is, and that's worse. Like, a circlejerker, or something.
Lots of us aren't even American! Maybe we don't care about what's going on in your country. (I mean, in general we do, but damn)
