United Healthcare CEO killed

If insurance isn’t paying it - it will just be a new disclosure in a mountain of paperwork that the patient signs and ends up paying for.

You think the people that made balance billing great again are going to take a hit to the bottom line?

My two cents and intuition… it may be a fixated nutter but I think it is much more personal then someone who feels they have been wronged for health insurance for family.

Um … they could just say “planned”

Unless you have a TARDIS, you can’t “post-plan” anything

Pre-planned usually implies that the plan was put together before the need existed, so that you could pull it off the shelf when you needed it.

For example, you’ve got a plan for how to manage your funeral arrangements. You make this plan well in advance, so that when you actually die, the planning doesn’t have to happen, because it was all “pre-planned” and someone just has to execute the plan.

Probably not applicable to this shooter, unless he just happened to put together a plan for shooting a CEO in his spare time in case he ever needed it.

Yeah, this clarification is especially timely, and I’d sort of forgotten all about it

We DID have MILs funereal arrangements pre-planned and pre-paid, so when the time came, we just said when & where

Pre-planned

“Kinda” planned

So clear facial shots have been out there for almost 48 hours now and no one has ratted him out?! Hmm…

Ok Sounds like they have a name but not releasing quite yet .

The dude came from Atlanta. Wonder if he is one of the anarchist funded by Cox heir Fergie Chambers.

Who is running it? This reminds me of CEO pay for various non profits CEO of American red cross 700K. Which isn’t that high for a big organization. CEO of Salvation army something like 200K. Recently I had a conversation with a logistics person with Operation Smile Canada in the Bogota airport. We were waiting from same plane to Toronto. We both flew economy. Stuff like that makes me want to give to a charity. That and she was on fire for the work she was doing.

I Canada the system generally pays the surgeon a flat fee for the surgery. So the surgeon has an incentive to maintain productivity. Anesthesia fees are determined generally by the length of surgery so somewhat out of anesthesia’s control. It seems to work okay. Anesthesia docs can make extra money by doing things like pain control clinic etc.

I agree.

The American Red Cross is one of the most sophisticated response organizations in the world. Leading that group for $700k is a bargain. Cliff Holtz could earn $100,000,000 in the promise sector.

That may be, but I choose NOT to give to any charity with large executive salaries. So that excludes lots of the large ones.

Thankfully a lot of people don’t feel the way you do.

Chicago joins in

Executive salaries need to be large enough to attract the right talent and to make it worthwhile for them to take the job. It’s not a bad thing to have competitive pay to get the right people.

On where to choose to donate, you could decide that by how much a charity gives to the cause, vs. other purposes. Some of those large orgs could still use your dollars.

Interesting site to poke around in:

https://www.charitywatch.org/nonprofit-compensation-packages-of-1-million-or-more

I use Charity Watch. I also look at the 990’s before I make a donation. There is not a charity listed on your link that I give to because of those 7 figure compensations. I want my dollars to impact the target, not the one asking for the donation.

Monopoly money reported as found in the discarded backpack. Now this is just trolling…

The more this goes on the more I like this guy.

Which is of course self defeating if those salaries are (a) a small fraction of the funds raised and (b) necessary to attract the talent getting the donations to effectively impact the target requires. There are several good methods of assessing the “bang for buck” a charity generates. That’s a better focus that the top few salaries they pay. There are hundreds of thousands of useless charities out there that would satisfy what seems to be your main criteria.

You like someone for killing someone else? Just trying to make sure I’m reading this correctly.
