    I’m not sure what kind of narrative is being painted here, but I’m not hearing any complaints about Luigi from universal healthcare advocates.

      Try leaving a comment about voting for democrats to pass healthcare reform in a Luigi Mangione discussion, a bunch of Tankies will pile on and give you shit. They don’t believe in Democrats, they don’t believe in political reform. They support violence.

      Furthermore, all of that funding for Luigi’s defence would have been better spent on campaigns for healthcare reform. Hundreds of thousands of dollars for some kid who graduated Ivy League schooling with multiple degrees and a father who runs Mangione Enterprises.

        How much money do you think will go into health reform? Luigi got like $500k in donations from what I can tel through my search.

          Every dollar to support Bernie or the DNC. Average donations are very low for the most progressive politicians.

          Nationwide its a pittance but it could easily turn a state race around.

          500k would cover 2/3 of the hospital bills from one of my children’s births, or half the entire cost.

          Do you know if you are connected to a monitor, and they move you and connect you to the same monitor in another room, it counts as performing a second test?

          Also, when medical students walk by and observe you, each student bills for observing the nurse care for you? 2x a day, each of 23 days, by 12 students.
