  I had a hernia and spent a third of my income on health insurance but still has to shell out 16000 from my own pocket for non emergency hernia surgery.

  I hope the copycats make the job of “C-Suite executive at HMO” an unfillable position, but more likely this will finally get the GOP interested in gun control.

    In Russian it’s called “расстрельная должность”, which means position, where firing squad eventually visits you.

      Generally in English they’d usually be called “A Patsy” or “Strawman” - someone disposable to do the unpleasant work, whom nobody will particularly miss.

        That’s not what I meant. Position, not person, which everyone leaves by being killed or imprisoned.
