I bet all the billionaire healthcare execs are sitting in their mansions/yachts with shocked Pikachu face with zero understanding of their part in this

It’s actually surprising how out of touch with reality people in that income bracket can be.

Definitely. Even the guy's own wife was stunned at his death being due to "a lack of coverage or something". It's like she doesn't even know what she's talking about, yet she gets to reap all the benefits of her husband's disgusting career. My god.

That's some Marie Antoinette shit if I'm being honest.

I hope somebody explained it to her by now

Give her a break, she isn't as bad as the other lady, she was an Austrian princess basically sold off as a political gift to the King of France!

Instead of let them eat cake ....it's now...let them pay out of pocket.

I read that she’s a physical therapist. Even more baffling that she doesn’t know the woes of insurance claim denials if she works in healthcare.

u/Formal_Two_5747 20d ago

Lol, dude made 10 million a year. Do you think she actually works?

Wow, what an idiot. Welp, glad her husband is dead now.

Completely out of touch. I was raised among them....until I became an adult and had to make do on my own. Complete reality check. I still have friends/acquaintances in that tax bracket (all in Europe) who casually decide to take their private jets to the Caribbean for a few days because they need a "break".

u/GlassHalfFull808 20d ago

Sounds like a nice “break.” When I need a break I take a nap lol

u/pjdance 10d ago

Oh I left that life too. People were shocked until I explained that sure I could've stayed wealthier but when I became an adult and got therapy I learned child sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and physical abuse are not actually things I want in my life so disowned the family.

But in true form, like other wealthy people, nothing ever happened to them. At least I have my sanity and the PTSD doesn't get to me as much anymore.

u/tooful 10d ago

Oh definitely. Yup. I could have stayed in that tax bracket if I didn't get divorced. Or stayed with him long enough to get alimony. I chose self respect instead.

Why would it be surprising that they would be out of touch with reality? They literally live a completely different life than us. Their reality is not our reality so it only makes sense that they would not understand our reality and that probably works both ways.

Because one would think an educated individual in that bracket would be aware of what life is like for people that were born less fortunate. Some of them do understand… but that’s a very small minority.

u/tooful 20d ago

My friend is dating/in a relationship with a billionaire. He doesn't understand why she can't just take off work whenever she wants to go jet setting around the world with him.

u/Friendly-Cucumber184 20d ago

It would be surprising because you'd think with easy access to higher education and world travel they would be more self-aware. Instead it turns into self-grandiosity.

u/silverking12345 20d ago

Oh, but some of them do. A lot of them weren't born rich aristocrats. The difference is that they buy into social darwinism, believing that they deserve their high status because they are objective superior to everyone else.

Old money vs new money. And by old I mean European old, not Paris Hilton inherited one.

u/CrowsInTheNose 21d ago

I'm willing to bet most CEOs are a bit shaken. Especially if they just did lay offs while taking a bonus.

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield reversed their anesthetic policy real quick after the shooting.

Thank God given I'm going in for surgery Thursday and they are my healthcare "provider"
