Two and half years ago, I had to fight UHC tooth and nail to cover treatment for my daughter that was CLEARLY covered under my policy. I eventually won that battle, but it took HOURS and DAYS and I was filled with anguish the entire time, trying to figure how what we would do if it were denied.

Meanwhile, he's raking in $10 million a year extracted from the misery and pain of others, and THAT is what makes us different from the MAGAt's. We want LESS suffering overall. We want fewer ultra-wealthy people feasting on the carcasses of the peons.

I don't advocate for murders such as this. But I don't shed a tear either. These people are vampires, sucking the life out of the less fortunate for their own enrichment. TEN MILLION DOLLARS a YEAR! It's disgusting.
