Left Wing University of Pennsylvania president PRAISES that animal who murdered the United Healthcare CEO

If you're looking for ANOTHER reason to get rid of the Department of Education, look no further than the idea of cutting off government subsidized student loans for price gouging NAZI institutions like the the U of Penn.

PA lawmaker demands accountability at UPenn after prof praises Luigi Mangione

EXCLUSIVE: A Pennsylvania congressman fired off a scathing letter overnight to the University of Pennsylvania’s president demanding the firing of a left-wing professor whose social media posts lauded Luigi Mangione, the suspect accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

In his letter, GOP Rep. Dan Meuser called for Cinema & Media Studies professor Julia Alekseyeva’s firing and noted the university had just finished weathering another scandal relating to its soft response to antisemitic and pro-Hamas protests.

Alekseyeva made her online accounts private this week after blowback for saying – among other things – that she is proud to be a UPenn Quaker like the accused killer. Thompson's murder sparked a left-wing outcry depicting a simmering anger toward the insurance industry that led to online celebrations in other quarters.

That animal Mangione deserves the DEATH PENALTY.

I would have preferred the CEO had defended himself with deadly force and put down that animal. But the CEO has been murdered. That animal Mangione should NEVER be allowed to breathe free air again.

It is at the very least inappropriate for any public official to use their platform to express what is at best a controversial personal opinion. A life is a life, no matter who it belongs to..
I can understand with the "alleged" harm the CEOs policies and decisions have caused. that some may lack sympathy for him and his family and maybe there is a lesson there for others in similar positions. You can make the case that his lack of respect for the lives and welfare of others contributed to this. But shooting your mouth off in the way this person has is just wrong and inflames a bad situation for all.😷

Excuse me? Do you even KNOW the function of a CEO? As in Chief Executive Officer? Do you even know the SIZE of United Health Care? Do you understand that there are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of actuaries who make that call every day? A CEO's job is basically to look after the investors. That's why they hired him. He hasn't turned anyone's life saving claim down?

That's the job of the those working the claims.

That animal is a murderer. I wish the CEO had a bodyguard who could have shot and killed that animal. He deserves the death penalty.

@Reason10 And someone on the other side might say his decisions, had condemned thousands to pain, suffered and death. And although legal, they would be correct. I see both sides. Sadly I dont think we will find common ground. But I put this down to a society that doesnt prioritize the welfare of those in need..😷

I worked in insurance back in the 80s. Here are the facts of this industry:

1. Insurance is defined as a group of people putting money in a pot with the idea that SOME of them (not all) will need to take some money out of that pot for unforeseen illness or death. As a licensed insurance agent, I had to memorize a lot of that stuff.

2. Insurance companies are REQUIRED BY LAW to maintain a legal reserve account in order to pay claims. If that account gets below legal limits, the government shuts that company down. (I've seen that happen to American Sun, in Orlando.)

3. Insurance premiums are determined by how to maintain that legal reserve. But because it is a competitive market, an insurance company cannot just raise premiums to cover the claims, without losing clients to other companies.

4. When health care costs go up, (AND I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT YOU NAZIS DON'T WANT TO BLAME THE PRICE GOUGING DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT ANIMAL) the company uses accounting move to maintain the legal reserve: things like higher deductibles, co insurance, stricter underwriting (no heart attack or cancer patients getting a major medical policy) etc. Medicare actually engaged in the same thing in the early 80s when hospitals price gouged and almost put Medicare out of business.

That is ALL health insurance companies.

United Healthcare is a HUGE corporation. The CEO has NOTHING to do with either paying or turning down claims. Nor does the CEO have anything to do with price gouging doctors and hospitals.

Those are the facts, and

@Reason10 The one thing you left out of your argument is the Profits to shareholders and the inflated salaries and bonuses of the CEO and senior management.
Insurance is at its heart, gambling. I pay a premium to cover the risk of an event. The insurance company sets a price they will take that bet and add a small margin to cover costs. and the house always wins. Thats fine. But the house has been skimming off the top to Profit Shareholders and organised crime, disguised as the board have been taking a cut as well.. And that is what the public are sick of..😷

@Reason10 Those "working the clains" fo so under the instructions and policies set by the CEO. One of the biggest issues we have in this capitalist dystem is massively overpaid CEO's wo claim they deserve the money because they are responsible, that they know everything goes on in their company until, and unless, they are actually being held responsible, eg in court. Then they didn't know, it's a huge company and they can't expected to know everything etc.
As above I don't sanction or excuse murder, but denying a CEO knew how his company operates is denial and / or stupidity.
