The Dems have been pushing. Every attempt gets a mountain of pushback. Even the mention of it triggers a windfall for Republicans. The Dems are the only ones who have done ANYTHING about medical costs. But a majority of Americans preferred high costs to a black lady being in charge.
Luigi Mangione was with me all day on December 4. We were volunteering at a charity event for the Not Murdering Insurance CEOs society before he gave a speech at the I Hate Ghost Guns And If You Find One On Me The Cops Planted It Institute. I remember he commented that my abs are similar to his
Oh yeah I was there too, later we went to the public library to read to children about Gandi to promote peaceful protesting and treated us all to McDonalds, he invited me to go hiking with him but I told him I definitely didn’t have the abs for it like you and him do. The librarian clapped, the children all sang and danced in glee at how nice and not a murderer Luigi is of course
BCBS had a plan to limit anesthesia during surgery. This would mean surgeons would have to rush and lead to mistakes. After the shooting, they publicly withdrew the proposal. I'm hearing pharmacy techs saying that companies are approving almost 100% of the orders. We tried to vote, we tried to protest. This is step 3. And we have seen that it works.
Don't think it'll last...companies think in quarters, not long term. As soon as this all dies down (odd how quickly he was caught, isn't it?) and the mass attention dies down, they'll be back at it, and even harder since it made them "scared" and they lost 0.001% of their profits.
They only agreed to this because it was the least expensive component to their portfolio. I'm sure they wouldn't agree to the same for cancer treatments.
@@shipwreck8847it's not just about cancer though. It's about the actual health of the median American. We simultaneously have a worse average lifespan than people in Canada and the UK, but we pay significantly more for it.

It's never about the people, it's always about *profit*

As a 64 year old Canadian I must say that having had two hip surgeries, recovered from bladder cancer, and have type 2 diabetes, I love our healthcare system, and still own my house. My medical care has not bankrupted me. Yes our taxes are higher, but that’s how we all look after each other. My heart breaks for non wealthy Americans and the inhumane greed of their insurance companies.
Our taxes wouldn't even be higher, they've done studies. The amount of overcharging, and waiting until you have to go to the emergency room, makes it so it would literally cost us all less to just have single payer healthcare. But of course then the billionaires wouldn't have so much of the money that they could single handedly bankrupt entire nations. And politicians would miss out on their bribe money. So obviously that has never changed anything.
Got to experience NHS in S Korea for a year and then csme back to US. As soon as i got into the health system again all I thought was "I'm going to be working to pay my healthcare. I'm going to go bankrupt." I can't afford vacations or anything that would help my health. I keep wondering about where I could go to live.
All the activist, get out and vote, organize talk sounds great, but tell me who is proposing Medicare for All beyond Bernie? Absolutely no one. Us working folk live in fear every day of losing our jobs, of crippling debt, of not being able to help our kids pay for college. While the billionaires take more and more. And "our party", the Dems, sit on the sidelines and watch. The billionaires won.
Back in the day, fire companies were just that: private companies. They would show up at your house if it was on fire...but they wouldn't lift a finger to help until you paid them first. Then we as a society said, "that's not right", and now fire departments are no longer for-profit companies but are instead public utilities. Health insurance companies need to learn the lesson: "There's a reason why there are no songs called 'Eff The Fire Department.'" #MedicareForAll
Fellow employee told me all tax is theft and gov needs to get out of the way, i asked if fire and police departments should be subscription service? He said nah those are fine. So some tax? cmon it's been 15 seconds of thought and you are rethinking an idealogy you sounded like killing over a minute ago
Actually in rural areas residents have to fund the fire department they can and do keep track of which house has not paid. They WILL sit there and watch your house burn down if you haven’t paid up. Somehow it’s legal.
@@Saint-t9tno it’s sadly true. It’s becoming privatized, but I hear it’s mostly in areas with a high wildfire risk, which overwhelms the volunteer firefighter response.
Michael Kosta completely out of touch on this one. 8 years since Bernie 2016 and not a step closer to universal healthcare. 3 bullets and the nation is talking about healthcare. Maybe you should look up the definition of "utilitarianism" before lecturing the masses on morality.
I felt the same way. I said it's too bad even the daily show has to kiss the ring. Colbert was suspiciously very similar in tone and message. I haven't heard Maher on it, or John Stewart, but I'm guessing anyone who goes with the unanimous waive of public response would quickly be off the airwaves. Noam Chomsky said there is only enough dissent allowed in the US to give the impression that dissent is allowed. I am constantly suspicious that these hosts are just the circus to keep us believing there is free speech in this country. We certainly don't get to mouth off like these celebrities do.Not in the youtube comments sections.
Sorry Michael - but our politicians ain't doing jack - they are in the game for themselves and their own interests this guy made a difference - and it sent a message CEO's and our leaders where too deaf to hear otherwise.
Whenever I hear someone pontificate that violence is never the answer, I reply “Well, sometimes it is.” I strive to live in a peaceful society, but submissive pacifism is for fools.
@@First-Last_name United specifically uses an AI-driven decision process that denies ~90% of applications, operating to maximize profits! Sick and inhumane!
I dunno Kosta - Luigi sacrificed the life of a modern robber barron AND his own in prison, to spark the kind of national engagement that has been known to affect change in the past. Did you know that UHC's denial rate is 200% the average and 450% Keiser Permenente's, BEFORE he did it? Did you know about how they use Optum to build vertical monopolies BEFORE? I didn't.
A "poor black man" would presumably be innocent in your example. Supporting the killer of an innocent person is wrong and messed up. The CEO who died was far from innocent, he was guilty. Supporting the killer of a guilty person makes sense sometimes, and this is one of those times.
Kostas, your argument about doing the small things, organizing together etc. is so pre-Nov 5th. If that approach ever worked, why is the healthcare industry cancer still growing and raking in the profits decade after decade. And for all the success of Obamacare, it's still only a band aid when you're bleeding out from a slashed femoral artery. I am a grown adult with no major health issues other than normal wear and tear through living life, but even I can empathize with the millions of people being blatantly victimized by the American "healthcare" system.
Yeah and his jokes about wasting money on private school and “call me crazy but im glad (oversimplified villainizing) is off the streets” clearly fell flat. He’s out of touch.
@isocarboxazid You are wrong. Americans are kept busy, poor, and uneducated intentionally so that they dont have enough time to organize or focus on who's pulling their strings. Yet still, there are plenty of people who try to create change but are seen as radicals. They are attacked by politicians, media, and citizens who dont know that they vote against their own interests. Money decides what the truth is.
@ when Luvey told Thurston Howell III he really did have a heart, he said "I must have a talk with my doctor and see about having it changed back to stone".
Define “class”? Luigi comes from wealth. He is responding because of his own personal health issues/pain/mental health. I’m definitely not FOR the health insurance companies. But I’d like people to recognize that the shooter comes from wealth and privilege and is not necessarily the class warrior people are making him out to be.
Where is this outrage every time someone passes away because UHC denied them the healthcare they were paying for? If you're more outraged by the people lashing out at these demons however they can than social unaliving, you're part of the problem.

Voting does work, but it requires people to be educated or at least educate themselves and most importantly (especially) in a non compulsive voting system, get off the couch and vote. For most politicians, politics is as much about wealth creation as the greedy CEOs who "donate" huge sums to the politicians to keep the game rigged.
@@michaelwicklund Agreed. Imagine if politicians were paid based on KPI's... 1. Economy growth 2. Increased Education standard (free) 3. Free Healthcare and maybe some others... but if they didn't all meet those KPI's no politician in those branches got paid more than minimum wage.
@@theblacksquirrel. the reason voting doesn't work is explained in your comment about why it does work if both parties get money from insurance companies why would they vote for laws that reduce those companies profits?
@Gh44HZ Precisely, and if all the parties that are available aren't going to vote for laws to reduce those corporate profits, how do you fix it by voting?
Michael Costa is right organizing, protesting and voting is the way to change things. The problem is we have been doing that for the past few decades. This system was designed to prevent change. The system needs a shock. When all peaceful method are exhausted this is what happens.
When truth doesn't matter and 1/2 the populace is poorly educated and voted for criminals and grifters with no clue other than "own the libs," organizing, protesting and voting fails. Right wing messaging is attractive to a certain personality type.
Exactly, “call me old fashioned, but I’m not into killing people in cold blood, hurr hurr hurr…” Neglects to mention that Brian Thompson was a mass murderer
Most of the people who read Ted Kaczynski’s manifesto empathized with the majority of its contents. Nearly everyone appears to agree with Mangione as well. The Daily Show must be thinking of Timothy McVeigh.
Agreed most people don't actually know his story. He was just a hermit living in the forest and until someone put a road through his favorite place he loved peacefully.
7:35 But we've done all of those things, Kosta. To literally negative effect. Like it or not, this is at least getting people talking about it, and warning the insurance companies that their abuse is widely known and endangering their own lives.
So what Kosta is saying here is.. one person deleting one ceo doesn't evoke the change we want. We need many people to delete many ceos in an act of solidarity? He's a wacky fella for that. #SelfDefense
If we are allowed to vote on national healthcare, that would probably be sufficient on this issue. Otherwise we want to know when and where the board of directors meeting will be. People should be allowed to do a ballot initiative at the federal level so if enough people sign a petition, it goes on the ballot for the people to decide. Representatives are too easy to bribe when the stakes are 450 billion in one year.
and sadly maga is too easy to dupe into thinking Obamacare (aka Affordable Care Act - which I doubt they even understand are the same thing) is a bad thing, not understand millions of people who wouldn't have healthcare at all rely on it.
@@Atmatan the problem with our healthcare system isn't the bureaucracy, that is an *actual* necessary evil. The problem is that running health insurance on a for profit basis is fundamentally inconsistent with the goal of providing people with adequate healthcare affordably

@@nizam5568 none of the things you just mentioned are murders. Also, since you weren't listening before, the ultimate legislative and constitutional reforms we all enjoy were achieved by votes. We have minimum wage laws, workers comp, paid time off because we supported politicians who supported legislation that made those things law.
To the comment that it didn't accomplish anything. Anthem (Blue Cross/Blue Shield) walked back a policy change that would have hurt their customers by not covering anesthesia if a surgery goes too long. This had a positive impact on a lot of poor americans who need surgery, possibly saving many from medical bankruptcy and deaths of despair that follow financial ruin.
And in a few months BCBS will reinstate that policy when bigger news overshadows them doing it. Don't underestimate how evil they are to even think of it in the first place.

I gotta say I always look forward to the daily shows takes but this one missed the mark so bad. Essentially saying that real change comes with productive conversation and active work and then instantly watering that down and completely doing the opposite of what would take us in that direction. Me and everyone I know is 100% behind him and I hope that this started something bigger.

@@VMohdude- He said violence doesn't work (even though it just worked to strop Blue Cross) and that activism and people coming together is the solution (even though people have been doing that forever and have next to nothing to show for it)
Kosta with a bad take. Luigi Mangione, if he did do the deed (they found all the evidence suspiciously quick, almost like they already had it prepared), did what many of us wish would happen to those who make millions off the suffering of others. The only difference between him shooting that gun and United Healthcare denying coverage to millions of Americans, many of whom died directly because of it, is that this time the victim had money. Don't get me wrong; solving our issues with violence will only lead us down a dark, dark road. But when nothing else is working, I am not going to condemn a guy who dealt out some legitimately deserved justice.
I usually agree with most of Kosta’s stances and etc but this time, he is out of touch. He is all words….saying we should advocate, educate, vote, and talk to our elected officials about healthcare reforms………..it has never worked for many of us! our elected officials have some form of partnership/deal with health insurance corporations 😒
While I understand this is satire, and a comedy show, I do want to point out that in the current times we live in, we’ve learnt that morales don’t matter. It doesn’t matter if you are a family man, or if you band together to fight for legislation to change politics or the country. Since 2016, we’ve learnt that what matters is that you lie, you deny the truth, you tell people they are telling false news, and you win at all costs. That’s sadly the country we live in now. That’s sadly how our politicians have won recently and we are quickly learning that following the right path doesn’t get you anywhere.
Mitch McConnell got to use his 100% free healthcare, yesterday after his fall, that he and all congressmen get. Socialism for the ruling class, cold hard capitalism for the rest of us.
You guys really missed the mark on this one, your privilege is showing. We live in an oligarchy not a democracy, as Mark Twain said, if voting made any difference they wouldn’t let us do it.

The police aren’t there to protect the people, they are there to protect business interests, and property. Taxpayer funded Security for the rich. When was the last time you saw a nationwide manhunt with the FBI and $60000 rewards for a POC or trans person that had been murdered?? or any poor person for that matter?
@@3_up_moonyes , apparently you need to call the reward program agency , rather than the cops when you want to inform about a wanted person. Because any normal person would call that first over actual armed cops…
Actually i think this might be more effective towards gun control as well. How many high schoolers can influence politics? They dont have enough financial influence. But when a CEO takes a dirtnap, suddenly the gravitas of this situation is more notable and dire.
What sort of non-violent action could have gotten the public's attention re United Healthcare'e enormous profits & the outrageous percentage of claims denied? I guess he should have written to his congressman. Or maybe he should have posted a podcast. .

Voting hasn’t been very effective. Neither major party is even pushing for real universal healthcare. The dude did something about the problem. I can’t fault him for that. But I, too, have been radicalized by pain that I can’t afford to treat.
I'm sorry for your pain.
Only Elizabeth Warren and Bernie did in the past.
I can't stand Republicans, who only supports the rich.
Also, one party is running on making it even worse by getting rid of things like Medicare and regulation.
The Dems have been pushing. Every attempt gets a mountain of pushback. Even the mention of it triggers a windfall for Republicans. The Dems are the only ones who have done ANYTHING about medical costs. But a majority of Americans preferred high costs to a black lady being in charge.
Not only are we not going to get universal healthcare from either party, but one is actively working to take what we do have away from us.
Luigi Mangione was with me all day on December 4. We were volunteering at a charity event for the Not Murdering Insurance CEOs society before he gave a speech at the I Hate Ghost Guns And If You Find One On Me The Cops Planted It Institute. I remember he commented that my abs are similar to his
Oh yeah I was there too, later we went to the public library to read to children about Gandi to promote peaceful protesting and treated us all to McDonalds, he invited me to go hiking with him but I told him I definitely didn’t have the abs for it like you and him do. The librarian clapped, the children all sang and danced in glee at how nice and not a murderer Luigi is of course

As a 64 year old Canadian I must say that having had two hip surgeries, recovered from bladder cancer, and have type 2 diabetes, I love our healthcare system, and still own my house. My medical care has not bankrupted me. Yes our taxes are higher, but that’s how we all look after each other. My heart breaks for non wealthy Americans and the inhumane greed of their insurance companies.
Our taxes wouldn't even be higher, they've done studies. The amount of overcharging, and waiting until you have to go to the emergency room, makes it so it would literally cost us all less to just have single payer healthcare. But of course then the billionaires wouldn't have so much of the money that they could single handedly bankrupt entire nations. And politicians would miss out on their bribe money. So obviously that has never changed anything.
Got to experience NHS in S Korea for a year and then csme back to US. As soon as i got into the health system again all I thought was "I'm going to be working to pay my healthcare. I'm going to go bankrupt." I can't afford vacations or anything that would help my health. I keep wondering about where I could go to live.

Back in the day, fire companies were just that: private companies. They would show up at your house if it was on fire...but they wouldn't lift a finger to help until you paid them first. Then we as a society said, "that's not right", and now fire departments are no longer for-profit companies but are instead public utilities.

"There's a reason why there are no songs called 'Eff The Fire Department.'"

Kosta with a bad take. Luigi Mangione, if he did do the deed (they found all the evidence suspiciously quick, almost like they already had it prepared), did what many of us wish would happen to those who make millions off the suffering of others. The only difference between him shooting that gun and United Healthcare denying coverage to millions of Americans, many of whom died directly because of it, is that this time the victim had money. Don't get me wrong; solving our issues with violence will only lead us down a dark, dark road. But when nothing else is working, I am not going to condemn a guy who dealt out some legitimately deserved justice.
Innocent until proven guilty.
I usually agree with most of Kosta’s stances and etc but this time, he is out of touch. He is all words….saying we should advocate, educate, vote, and talk to our elected officials about healthcare reforms………..it has never worked for many of us! our elected officials have some form of partnership/deal with health insurance corporations 😒
While I understand this is satire, and a comedy show, I do want to point out that in the current times we live in, we’ve learnt that morales don’t matter.
It doesn’t matter if you are a family man, or if you band together to fight for legislation to change politics or the country.
Since 2016, we’ve learnt that what matters is that you lie, you deny the truth, you tell people they are telling false news, and you win at all costs.

Not to sound like a downer, but haven't we tried to get politicians for the past almost 20 years who believe in universal Healthcare and gotten nowhere since most politicians aren't for it. Once we get near it, someone changes the subject and goes nowhere.
And in a bit of irony, that Judas won't get his Silver.
Really?
Womp!!! Womp!!! Snitch
@@3_up_moon Yep. Being the idiot that he probably is, he called 911 instead of Crimestoppers which is the organization that offered the $60k reward. If you don't call them directly, you get nothing.
Snitches get, well prolly nothing (not even stitches these days, cause healthcare would just deny the claim…. )
Just like healthcare CEOs, the police & the FBI find any way they can to not pay out.
The police aren’t there to protect the people, they are there to protect business interests, and property.
Taxpayer funded Security for the rich.
When was the last time you saw a nationwide manhunt with the FBI and $60000 rewards for a POC or trans person that had been murdered?? or any poor person for that matter?
@@3_up_moonyes , apparently you need to call the reward program agency , rather than the cops when you want to inform about a wanted person.
Because any normal person would call that first over actual armed cops…
Actually i think this might be more effective towards gun control as well. How many high schoolers can influence politics? They dont have enough financial influence. But when a CEO takes a dirtnap, suddenly the gravitas of this situation is more notable and dire.
What sort of non-violent action could have gotten the public's attention re United Healthcare'e enormous profits & the outrageous percentage of claims denied? I guess he should have written to his congressman. Or maybe he should have posted a podcast.

No, a message on any social media site would get the change started, and everyone would agree with said post!
Nooo all he had to do was vote 😭
@@mommy-ju7zsWhich candidate supported universal healthcare?
Maybe this is a step toward REAL consequences that execs need to think about before reporting record profits to their shareholders.
Ronny Chang thirst trap photos… pure gold. Nicely done.
Michael... rich people are the biggest killers around.
Why is it always just "vote harder" with you people?
Typical neolib nonsense
Maybe McSnitch can use some of that reward money to fix the freaking ice cream machine?
you believe the story from the police about there being a snitch?
That has to do with right to repair considerations, a worthy topic. Just when you think Big Ice Cream Machine isn't a thing
This fell flat because it isn’t reading the room.. respectfully
Paid actor lectures from teleprompter
Just your daily reminder that nobody on TV is on your side, and that's not to say that this particular person or that particular person is against you or against poor people, but whoever employs them? Most certainly is.
