AOC Says Insurance Companies Denying Health Care Claims Is an 'Act of Violence'

AOC wants you to know she would never wish or justify violence on anyone. Ever.

She would, however, give a head-nod to it, if it meant killing somebody she doesn’t care for - like, perhaps, an unborn baby, or the CEO of a health insurance company.

Speaking to a reporter Thursday, the socialist representative from New York said that while it’s no excuse to gun someone down in cold blood, health insurance executives like Brian Thompson are guilty of “acts of violence” against people by denying their health care claims - as, you know, insurance companies are wont to occasionally do, as they don’t typically cover anything and everything under the sun.

“This collective American experience, which is so twisted to have in the wealthiest nation in the world, all of that pain that people have experienced is being concentrated on this event,” Ocasio-Cortez said, speaking outside the U.S. Capitol.

“This is not to say that an act of violence is justified, but I think for anyone who is confused or shocked or appalled, they need to understand that people interpret and feel and experience denied claims as an act of violence against them,” she said, going on to whine about how she herself didn’t have health insurance until she was a congresswoman.

I suppose the answer is to force insurance companies to cover literally everything and never deny a claim - or, as AOC would rather have it, have the United States government - the same government that can’t adequately oversee our national transportation system or manage our border - take over the whole deal, giving us a disastrous nationalized health care system likely to make Canada’s dumpster fire look like a Chick-fil-a express lane.

But hey, the notion of Americans not being able to access primary health care because the government-run bread lines are too long doesn’t seem to be a problem for AOC, or for Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who called Thompson’s gruesome murder a “warning” to other CEOs.

“Violence is never the answer, but people can be pushed only so far,” Warren said. “This is a warning that if you push people hard enough, they lose faith in the ability of their government to make change, lose faith in the ability of the people who are providing the health care to make change, and start to take matters into their own hands in ways that will ultimately be a threat to everyone.”
