Murder of a health insurance CEO is justifiable homicide. Mofos.

10. I'm heading to the dentist. I'll think about it.

17. STD echoing Richard Hooker, if you want to go back to the original. You can look it up.

Ok, back from getting a few cavities filled by Dr. al-Jaharishi, or something.

While I didn't wake up this morning thinking I'd like to see anybody shot dead in the street, I can't say I shed a tear for a private healthcare CEO. And I worked in and around the insurance industry for 20 years. Also suffered through a few years of Obamacare marketplace premiums that just about killed me. They've settled down now. Medicare comes March 1. As a self-employed person for 30 years, I've paid more into Medicare over a lifetime than saps with a day job.

But 40 minutes of Dr. J rooting around in my upper right quadrant gave me time to think.

No musical figures or anyone in entertainment.

No leaders, foreign or domestic.

No one in sports, no one in my personal life.

As the Novocaine or Lidocaine was wearing off, it hit me.

Nick Fuentes.

Tangential real estate interlude.

I fear that according to MB, one always has the choice/freedom to seek alternatives to corporate-provided health insurance.

Private, nonemployer-provided insurance has sucked for me since 1994, regardless of White House occupant. If it wasn't the coverage, it was the premiums . . . and sometimes both.

The only break I got for about two years was when my wife was working 26 hours a week for a nonprofit, and they were gracious enough to put her on it, which didn't mean much, since she was healthy and past childbearing age. Then they put me on it, which was well beyond gracious.

Then my wife and said employer came to a parting of the ways, so to speak, and it was COBRA for 18 months, which only mostly sucked.

Then the marketplace since about 2017 (Anthem), which in the first few years was $2k monthly premiums for both of us. She went on Medicare five years ago, and I'm in a few months. I'm already setting up appointments.

Yes, health insurance policies (and yes, MB, the plain-fact necessity of signing on the ones available to you) and the CEOs sustaining them have robbed a whole lot of people more years of life than seeing one CEO die early by whatever means. How much of their profits and salaries could have gone toward helping people with their health, while they remained profitable and rich?

I don't think I've seen anyone as entrenched as MadBomber in the notion that everyone, if they just wanted to, could lead a middle-class, if not upper-middle-class life, uninterrupted by any institutional factors.

Maybe Boaz.
