This is one of the possible results when medicine and hospital care is run but cutthroat corporations. All healthcare should be required, by law, to be non profit.
Most of these hospitals are non-profit. They just funnel all the money into for profit companies and management salaries.
Profit can always be distorted based on how much you're paying your employees.
I ran the books for a law firm for I don't know how many years. They had a profit larger than $500 one year, and that was by choice. We put all the profits in salaries every year. For smaller businesses it's pretty easy. Larger companies it's harder but doable, you just have to be right on top of your bookkeeping.
There's no issue with this because it gets taxed either way.. all of the employees pay tax on the additional income probably at about the same rate as the company would have.
For a hospital on the other hand, they're just increasing costs of Healthcare.
I work for a nonprofit Healthcare system, unfortunately the companies we buy our materials from are definitely for profit, as are the insurance companies that do their damnest to not spend their money.
It's a rotton system.
Fuck this dystopian bullshit and everything that led up to it. Our healthcare system is fucking barbaric.
Ya but at least the rich people get to float around on their yachts right????
😭
Only if we keep letting them.
Social media is making the people that should be fighting the rich love them instead.
Someone recently memed a twitter post that said, "The Have-Nots and the Have-Yachts."
These right-wing assholes bitch and bemoan injustice and the working man and elite, but ignore how fucked it is we have rising childhood homelessness let alone poverty... But hey at least wealthy shitheads own multiple mansions, yachts, and private planes amirite. The King of Jordan owns at least 2 beach front Malibu mansions; Saudi Arabia, Russia, Japan, China own vast swaths of American land... And there's not a peep over that; just blame the poor mother and child fleeing crime and poverty in South/Central America for geopolitical disasters WE largely caused or ignored in the first place.

How is this not first degree murder? He admitted to trying to kill her before and depression is not a defence for murder.
I guess they don't think it would stick. In Missouri, murder in the first degree is "if he or she knowingly causes the death of another person after deliberation upon the matter". The defense would probably argue that in this instance, he did not deliberate, but took advantage of a brief opportunity.
I don't know how true that is, but it seems like a likely argument.
Except he admitted to having deliberated on it and tried it before, he had also planned it on a third occasion. This could not have been more premeditated.
Yeah, this doesn't feel like it could be more premeditated. He tried it multiple times.
This seems fine. Everything is great. /s
I'm just imagining the "this is fine" dog on a yacht in a sea of corpses

It's also a neat trick to save on rent. That's pretty clever.
