      I imagine it’s from people who just don’t watch the news. They don’t know how evil that CEO was, so they blindly apply common sense.

    They also claim that they want more equality, universal healthcare, less student debt, etc. And then a ton of them proceeded to vote for Donald Trump. I can’t take anything they say seriously.

    That sounds extremely low. What young voters are they polling? The Amish?

        Rather than “admitting”, I would think that most of these people are proud of it. If the insurance companies can kill people in large numbers (and they do), and somehow that’s OK (which it shouldn’t be), then that’s the new standard (sadly), and that’s life (or death, as the case may be).

        41% of people they asked! Who knows what criteria they used to get their sample set, so the number may even be higher.

          Also, do we know the specific wording? The wording of the questions around it? Those can have a significant impact on the answers.

            Yes. This was a study by Emerson college. The methodology is linked in the article.

    Many things people find despicable are common place in the fog of war. I will never agree with gunning down a poor person no matter what they did, justice is served for the poor daily on a cold lead plate. For the 1%??? Who can we call when insurance kills our loved ones? When Dr’s make intentional mistakes and your loved one is dead? Can you call the police and expect them to go snorkeling to find evidence? Or can you maybe expect a call in a few weeks with a maybe update? We have seen how they respond when one of their masters is murdered. Until there is actual justice for all citizens, there will be no peace. Eat the rich.

    Yeah that is shocking. My guess is lots of people declined to say for obvious reasons. The number has to be closer to 80%

      Neutrals are 19%, so even if we assume half of those are actually ok but didn’t say so, that’s still only 50,5% acceptance

    A person has to ask themselves the question of does this person help or hurt humanity, and if you look at this company denials since he took over he definetely hurts humanity as a whole.

    Not every human life is valuable or worth keeping. We need to treat our weakest members of society better, which is elderly, disabled and children. He hurts those people the most, when he should’ve trying to protect them. He chose to chase profits over human life.

    This is simply a logical consequence. Income equality now is FAR worse than the french revolution, I’m just suprised it took this long.

      Exactly this. I suspect this group is both young enough to not have to supply their own insurance, or at least young enough to not have faced significant health costs yet. Many people have not yet experienced just how trash the US healthcare system is.
