Corporate Greed in America has finally gone too far...Time to change our healthcare system

A corporate titan is dead and Americans, for the most part, are beyond caring because they've been dying for a long time as a result of the greed this man represented. It's time to change our healthcare system.

Obama rejected it as being too disruptive to the health care industry.

There was a thread on here admonishing people for gloating about the CEO's death. I had to roll my eyes.

I don't think the average person is gloating, but more of us have sympathy for those who died being rejected for life saving services. That's who should be reserved sympathy not some rich fucking CEO.

Last quarter. Several scolders took me posting that as pro-murder. I deleted it.

For what reason? I think that is my annoyance with some on the left, always having some heart for those who don't deserve it. Which is one of the reasons why the middle class and anyone who isn't rich in this country continue to get screwed. Misplaced empathy.

The empathy should be with those less fortunate who were rejected life saving services.

represents just how rotten Americans believe their health care system is and the people who run it. So, maybe, legislators will begin to rethink things.
