That should be illegal anyways.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

literally been waiting 7 weeks to see a specialist. why? urgent care is no longer allowed to issue referrals, so they had to put me on antibiotics for 3 weeks just to maybe cover me till i could see my pcp.

see the pcp after waiting 2 weeks, they give me a referral, issued STAT.

see them again a week later cuz i havent heard anything, there was an issue and the insurance didnt get the request till that day .

oop insurance actually decides who im referred to and they take 2 more weeks to figure it out.

oop insurance accidentally had a glitch and dropped me for no reason so the whole process has to start over again, after a wait a week for them to fix their mistake.

smfh , lucky its not something worse. I THINK. IDK WHAT IT IS CUZ I HAVENT SEEN A SPECIALIST YET.

Good luck. They passed the timely access to care act and you can't actually use it because doctors and health systems ignore it, and your insurance will make you jump through so many hoops you'll feel like fucking Luigi before you're done.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

I remember when he first became popular a lot of people felt like fucking Luigi.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I would let Luigi Depose me ngl

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Not my thing, but I'd respect anyone who showed appreciation for his service.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I think a lot of people still would. Dude is conventionally attractive, and i don't even like men

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 hours ago

People used to want to fuck Luigi. They still do.....

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

They were sending him nudes it was honestly unhinged

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago

I love it, but I'm a bit worried that using his name could make it harder to get enough people onboard... Not that it would be easy normally... But maybe I'm wrong, maybe he's more generally liked than I realize (outside of online spaces anyway)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 hours ago

Its absurd they can deny you care or medicine for any reason outside your own doctor canceling it.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 hours ago

Hilarious especially given Luigi is literally innocent (until proven guilty). The name is pure trolling and we need more of this.

My friend, you need a job doing this.

Said like a true LLM.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago

Yes! That's it! You nailed it bro!

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

Question, why didn't they do this before?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

Everytime you Luigi an oligarch you get a bill somewhere that will make something basic a human right.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 hours ago

Because there was one too many billionaires. Want more done? Need less billionaires.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 hours ago

Because this is political theater but there’s also a lot of nuances that go into this type of thing. Should they have done something like this in the past, 100%…but this is also a result of the collective California population being so fed up with insurance companies that it forces politicians to do something. He’s a martyr no doubt but the health care situation continues to get worse so pushing something so “liberal” wasn’t going to happen previously.

All of this progress with just one dead ceo. Imagine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 41 minutes ago

Imagine what would ten dead ceos do.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago

It wasn't even a drawn out broadcast torture fest either, it was a quick death, and it still made them scared as fuck.

[–] [email protected] 98 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

He's done more to improve healthcare than most politicians.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 hours ago

Yes, we've all done more to improve healthcare than most politicians or insurance companies, given that they are actively making it worse

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago

oh no, how will the redditors know?

“California lawmakers propose…”? Buddy, that’s an initiative, it can be proposed by literally anyone in the state.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

and it’s from a petition… i could make up a law called the “balls in your mouth” law, start a petition today, and fox will be promoting articles saying “california lawmakers want to put their balls in your mouth”.
(also, “balls in your mouth” is a kid rock song from when he used to be a detroit rapper with a flattop… people should not let him forget that he was very into black culture before he switched to white trash culture… also he was a literal pimp)

*edit, left out a key name.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I think you missed mentioning who “he” is there. Are you saying that Luigi Mangione was previously a Detroit rapper and a literal pimp?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 hours ago

while that is a funny prospect, no i meant kid rock

Is this some sort of late 1st April? Too good to be true

[–] [email protected] 61 points 13 hours ago

... and all it cost was one life

Meanwhile, the health industry is doing their best to protect what's there while costing the lives of thousands even millions of people to an early death or a terrible life of misery.
