I saw this on Reddit this morning. The colorectal cancer that killed him should have been caught and treated well before it got to that point. The poor man apparently had to sell some quantity of the things he held dear to afford some form of treatment which apparently was too little or too late, dealers choice. When the more affluent and wealthy amongst us can't even get fucking cancer treatment in a timely fashion what the fuck chance do the peons have? Naught.
Burn the insurance industry to the ground, scatter its ashes and salt the fucking earth. It needs excised like the tumor on humanity it is. Luigi did nothing wrong. Allegedly.
Insurance wants you to wait until 45 to get your first colonoscopy. It sounds like he was diagnosed at ~46 so the only way to really get ahead of it would have been much earlier screening.
I'm 35 with limited family history but nowhere near enough to meet insurance requirements for early screening. I stood my ground and pushed hard for it and they ended up finding multiple large precancerous polyps, now I'll end up having two or three more screenings by age 45. This would have been me if I followed their plan and had to break their rules to save them millions of dollars worth of cancer treatments.
The only thing Luigi did wrong was stopping at Berlin.
It should be standard after 30, certainly 35
In a just world there would be a Truth and Reconciliation Commission of US health insurance employees, and anyone who denied claim or made other decisions that caused someone’s death should be [redacted]
Guess it wasn't all that long a wait for his life to be over
Noooo not the lead bassist from The Foreskins, Simon Tremblay!
