So apparently UnitedHealthcare — you know, that massive health insurance company that’s probably screwed you over at least once — has been literally paying nursing homes to NOT send sick elderly people to the hospital.

      It’s the Free Market at work! The last healthcare CEO that got this psychopathic spawned a Free Market correction in the form of a pissed off customer who murdered him. As a result, his company, and all the other healthcare companies, loosened up their denials. THAT’S a perfect example of the Free Market at work.

      It looks like we’re due for another Free Market correction.

          The core libertarian philosophy of “Anyone can do what they want and is free to choose” reminds me of this: https://xkcd.com/1060/

          Like yes, that’s true, that’s why I’m choosing to build a better society through socialism.

        One time just isn’t enough to retain the lesson.
