That or someone was getting jacked around by the insurance company and had enough.

I’ve been close to wanting to kill insurance drones many times.

Good thing the NYPD has a biologist to determine that the shooter was a man.

My first thought as well. My second thought is he canceled his AARP membership.

He was about to testify about something. This health care industry is getting shady.

That’d be my bet.

Not hard to imagine someone wanting revenge after losing a family member due do denial of treatment.

The snake got what was coming to him. You cannot be the leader of a crooked enterprise that captured our government and then expect politics to stay out of it. Obamacare is the enslavement of the American people by the pharmaceutical medical complex and now they get bullets in reply to their abuses.

I’m sorry for his loss, but maybe when the crime wave starts affecting the 1% then they will start caring about other people and about the illegal invasion of our nation and the breakdown of society that libtards have wrought upon on country and esp. the big cities that are more unsafe than ukraine or iraq.

That’d be my first guess. After that, who’s wife was he messing around with. Then, back to general insurance crap.

Did he get pre approved for a gunshot treatment? Was he out of network? Did they tell him the next available appointment for a gunshot specialist was February 2025? Did the ER turn down his insurance?

Did they have to send him across town to another site for blood work? Was his car warranty about to expire?

This is tragic and yet another example of New York crime.

His life, his family, and his friends are all at a loss.

Crime is evil.

I hope the family is able to get through this difficult time and that they ask God for help.

They will only protect the 1%, the only ones who matter to them.
