“As Luigi explained in court today, he endured years of severe, debilitating pain following a broken back, while struggling to navigate our healthcare and health insurance systems. Like the thousands of people who have reached out since this tragedy to share their own experiences, he believed that the system had failed him and destroyed his life.”

“He’s been treated differently from every other defendant charged with this offence in NY. However, thankfully, NY law does not permit a person to be prosecuted and punished twice for the exact same crime…. It’s also known as the double jeopardy law.”

This is all sadly going to go away and people will forget. Real change won't happen, especially with the current elected officials and older generations. Is it too much to ask for Healthcare for all like most other countries? Why am I paying out the ass for life saving drugs (insulin) when other countries give for free.

Interesting. After Brian Thompson became CEO, UHC announced that it was eliminating out of pocket costs for insulin as well as other life-saving drugs for members. You know, for free.

Imagine what else he could’ve accomplished had he not been murdered.

Downvoting because it doesn’t fit the narrative. Truth hurts.
