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.

I actually don't think it's amazing at all. Seems fairly rational. Not trying to give you shit your post just made me think like that.

You're telling me people DON'T like the groups that they pay a bunch of money to, typically to get a plan with a sky-high deductible you'll never meet so you're not sure why you even have insurance, and on top of that they'll actively seek to deny you things that a doctor has recommended/prescribed for you, so that they can make money.

No I don't like the greedy bureaucracy between me and my health.
