  • OK, but you can already find health care that is not optimized around profit. Just sign up for BCBS (which is available in most places) and choose a nonprofit medical center as your PCP (which are easy to find since they greatly outnumber for-profit medical centers).

    I suspect you may find that this leads to slightly higher premiums. After all, one of the reasons UHC denies so many claims is to keep their premiums low. But in health care, you generally get what you pay for.

  • Ah, Jacobin. Of course. The ones who said housing the homeless is not good, because it means landlords will get paid.

    Can't wait to read their thoughts on health care. Let me guess: "Universal health care now, but not if corporations benefit too".

  • Most hospitals are nonprofits.

    So are several large health insurance companies, such as Blue Cross Blue Shield and Kaiser Permanente.

    Guess what: nonprofits deny care too. So do single-payer health care systems.

  • When someone stops paying their insurance, they stop getting healthcare. Most people don't want that.

    It's kind of like saying "If everyone said fuck it and set their car on fire, then oil companies would suffer". Yes, but they aren't the only ones who would suffer.

  • No, a handwriting sample is not easy to get. It generally requires a search warrant, which means you can name the suspect before they are arrested, which didn't happen here.

    A driver's license signature is not a handwriting sample, unless the manifesto consists only of Mangione signing his name over and over again all over the page. There are plenty of other letters, capitals, etc that they cannot reproduce.

    Yes, cops are sometimes dumb enough to plant evidence. But they generally do this to the defenseless, not people from wealthy families who can hire someone like Johnny Cochrane.

    Which is another major hole in this theory: if the NYPD were looking for someone to frame, why not frame someone who cannot afford to defend himself?

    Why wait days for a phone call from an Altoona McDonald's, when there are plenty of people they could frame right then and there in NYC?

    Why finally choose someone located 300 miles from NYC, considering that a randomly chosen person in that McDonald's was likely in central PA during the murder and thus would have an airtight alibi?

    Why forge a handwritten manifesto when they could easily avoid suspicion by using a typewriter?

    I mean, instead of spending days in Central Park, they could have spent 10 minutes searching the Fediverse for "guillotines" and "my medical debt" to find at least a dozen defenseless New Yorkers with a legit written history of advocating death to the wealthy and genuine animus against health insurance.

    But no, instead they chose to frame some random guy. And because cops love extra work, they chose a random white, wealthy guy instead of a poor POC like they usually do. For an extra challenge, they even chose a young, attractive guy instead of someone less sympathetic like Ted Kaczynski.

    Your theory requires the NYPD to spend a lot of effort making a lot of risky bets that could backfire and destroy their case, for no reason at all.

  • along with that manifesto

    How did they write a manifesto in his handwriting?

    And if it's not in his handwriting, why bother to plant something that would actually hurt the prosecution? No cop wants to cause an "OJ glove" moment, where defense lawyers easily convince the jury that evidence was planted.

  • You can't see the killer's eyebrows in the shooting video. Or even his face.

    It's possible there are eyewitnesses or unreleased video of the shooting. Otherwise the case against Mangione will likely depend on DNA and ballistics evidence. Either way, the photos in the coffee shop and hostel are irrelevant.

  • The actual point of the conversation is "Has she actually committed any crimes?". If you look up the definition of today's vocabulary word, you'll find that it has no bearing on the actual point.

  • I don't. But his defense lawyers do.

    And if it isn't his handwriting, then the prosecutors will lose the case so badly that they will make the OJ prosecutors look like Sherlock Holmes.

    Prosecutors don't like humiliating losses, so I strongly doubt they are dumb enough to plant a forged manifesto.

  • because she spent more time trying to court the right

    There is no evidence that this is the reason she lost voters.

    But there is evidence that a significant number of Biden 2020 voters switched to Trump this year. That's the definition of a shift to the right.
