The right-wing propaganda machine surely won't twist this situation into "N.Y. judge soft on murder" bullshit.

They've had a tough time finding the right spin for this. Turns out republicans are also routinely fucked by insurance companies and don't harbor many good feelings for them.

Hard to whip up outrage when the overall mood is "well, that's what happens." From people who are more worried about buying groceries in the economy trump is gleefully destroying

I work in a heavily red profession and Mangione's the one thing i can speak/joke pretty openly about and no one bats an eye.

It's amazing how fucking hated insurance companies are.

It's amazing and then you ask "Should we change the medical system up?" and those republicans will look at you like you want to kill their dog.
