See, what I'M hearing is that united for years denied people health care that they NEEDED. Then their CEO gets capped, and now all the sudden united is like "Whaaaaat??? We would NEVER do something that put patients lives at risk......wasn't us! We're being good boys now."
Which tells me that Luigi had a direct impact. Before these CEOs were like "I do what I want!!!" And with no consequences, they did what they want.
NOW these CEOs are like "HOLY FUCK!!! THESE GUYS ARE BRINGING CONSEQUENCES!!!! COOL THE HEAT!!! COOL THE HEAT!!!
And now they're rethinking their ways. Not stopping mind you, but trying to appear less like something the devil running a company would do.
So thank you Luigi. Somewhere out there in the world right now is someone getting their care approved, whereas without you, it would have been denied.
Huh? This is like the 3rd shit they've tried to pull since the CEO was killed. They clearly don't care about changing their ways. They only backtrack when there's publicity.
3rd? It's all but certain that there are tens of thousands of other examples of this BS that haven't been reported.
You're right. It's the third shit that's gotten media attention.
