Donations to Luigi Mangione's legal defense fund slowed, then surged
Donations to Luigi Mangione’s legal defense fund have picked up after a news report that they had slowed down.
That’s a lie. I cannot find a single source predating the attack.
I made a couple edits trying to find a better source, sorry for the wait.
Try again.
Ah wait hang on wrong link, 1 moment
Theres like a million articles talking about this story after UHC happened so it's taking a minute
It was published Dec 4th talking about "last thursday" which would be Nov 28th!
Ah but the article was updated on the 6th...
You know what, I might have been misinformed about this, it's possible that the changes took place on Dec 5th, all the paperwork being written up, board meetings held, and filed less than 24 hours after the assassination, although I still doubt Luigi had as much to do with it as the Governor saying “Outrageous. I’m going to make sure New Yorkers are protected" just before that. And also those bad policy changes were announced in late 2023 or January 2024 but also never implemented due to criticism they received then as well.
BCBS’s own website dates that statement release as December 5th. So yeah, you’re making it up.
It goes through rounds of lawyers and actuaries long before an insurer changes coverage policies. It's absolute fantasy to think they threw this change together practically overnight.
I remember reading that it was coming before Luigi, but like the person you're replying to, I can't find it after the enshitification of web sesrching. It's buried behind a billion articles about Luigi.
There were complaints about it before, sure. Absolutely nothing from BCBS backing down before.
You’re dismissing it, despite all evidence to the contrary, because it doesn’t conform with your worldview. Maybe you’re not in a position of accusing anyone else of believing a fantasy version of events.
Yeah it took a few edits but I addressed that the article I found was updated on the 6th so I could possibly be wrong here.
Thanks for looking for references
I tried but I kind of feel like I've failed.
You admitted you were wrong. Most people here wouldn’t do that.
