@@notenoughmemes1847that’s what has me boiling this fine morning. Real American heroes, turned into real American examples. The guy was young, too. Fucking infuriating.
Crazy how many whistle blowers commit suicide by two gunshots to the back of the head after writing a suicide note that says "if I die, I was murdered"
My mom was one of Brian Thompson's many, many victims. He delayed or denied her treatment over, and over, and over again until she died from lung cancer. She lived her life as healthily as she could afford. She didn't smoke, lived a clean life. Got lung cancer anyway. Brian was like "naaaaah, I want another mansion, fuck your future" She was my ONLY parent, and I was her ONLY child. I had a newborn at the time. I was a caregiver with a baby on my breast. She may not have beaten the cancer in the end, but she wouldn't have had to wait two fucking years for treatment....by the time it had progressed to fourth stage. Her doctor had said, at the beginning, she had a fighting chance. It wasn't 4th stage yet. A week after she died my daughter learned to walk. She deserved to see that. My daughter deserved to have even ONE memory of her grandmother. She was only 68 and only barely made it to her birthday. Her body fell apart, more or less. I blame him and everyone like him that created systems that killed patients rather than saved them. I wouldn't have felt like it was half murder if they hadn't tried so hard not to treat her with the money she gave them. Then Brian Thompson was shot. A lot of PTSD was triggered and not because of Luigi. Phantom sights, smells...the ghosts of all that came back in this invisible wave that knocked the breath out of my lungs. I didn't know this feeling: Closure. It's awful that it took a murder to give me that. I never would have asked for it...but it did something I could never do. I feel GRATFUL to him as much as I struggle to reconcile myself to that feeling. I almost feel like it was a serial killer taken down and my mom was one of the victims. I don't believe in hell, but if by chance one exists, I hope he's in the hell version of ER waiting for treatment for his fatal wounds that will ultimately be ignored over and over. It's only fair.
If you might be called for Jury Duty: the first rule of Jury Nullification is YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT JURY NULLIFICATION. You say NOTHING to ANYONE, including your fellow jurors (deliberation can be recorded). You say nothing about 'judging the law' or 'voting your conscience'. Remember this: "I do not feel the prosecution has made a strong enough case to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt." That, and nothing else. Feel free to copy paste and spread the words Thank you
Nurse in Hell: “ Quick over here, near fatal gunshot wounds!” The Devil: “Hold your horses there speedy Gonzales. We need to check the paperwork. It’s gonna take a while.” 👹Hopefully there’s a special Hell just for him.
“You paid for the paper, you paid for the phone, you paid for everything they need to deny you what you’re owed”. I mean f**k man, Jesse you’re too good man, too good.
United Health just told me today that my chemotherapy for stage 4 breast cancer is being denied. Xeloda is a very common chemo drug, nothing experimental or new. My oncologist appealed it, so they asked when I called if I wanted them to mark it "urgent." That's the best their employee can do, ask me if it's urgent.
Ask them for ALL the documentation. Make 'em PROVE IT. Watch how fast they grant the appeal. It'll make your head spin, and hopefully make you well. Good luck!
@@Rune__ Yeah, but Americans have been conditioned to see that as socialism. Far from perfect, but other countries in the world, by leveraging their much smaller populations to acquire medications and services are able to deliver medical care at a much lower cost. Imagine how good it could be if the US leveraged their vast population to care for its people. They miss the fact that they could have one of the very best health care systems in the world at a much lower cost. There are so many greedy administrators and middlemen as it stands now.
@@MarkHodges-m7r The "husband" whose wife moved out to get herself and her kid away from, only for him to buy a house a few down so she couldn't. Real stand up guy.
50 billion in a single year. That's pure insanity. I don't care what anyone else thinks, this kind of wealth hoarding is evil and it's time we do something about it. I just discovered you two days ago, Jesse, and I want to thank you for poignantly articulating the fear and desperation so many of us have experienced when working with our crooked and corrupted "healthcare" industry. You are a brilliant lyricist and I hope your music and message will travel far and resonate with everyone who is fed up about how nothing in this country works anymore, not just healthcare. I don't think anything will change until we all acknowledge that everything is broken.

When I was a kid 50 years ago, my favorite part of Saturday morning cartoons was the Schoolhouse Rock breaks. Such great, educational songs with incredible Rock, jazz, soul etc. music, melodies, and lyrics. This captures the soul and spirit of those great messages. So catchy and educational. Perfect!
I was shocked this dudes name isn't John. He's John Prine, John Fogerty, John Lennon, John Mellencamp all rolled into one. Convinced he was transported here from the 70s. Great talent 👏
This song has HIT A NERVE ! Rhiannon Giddens following and sharing. Many Indigenous folks here North of 49th, posting United Health song, reflecting injustice rife everywhere. Keep on keeping ON Jesse Welles. Peace in a time of social wars.
And THAT is how you write and sing an honest to goodness real PROTEST SONG! Young man, you just made this ol' woman from the 60s and 70s era, very proud! Keep singing this song! Peace!
I fell into the united trap. They promise covering more than other plans, but when you file a claim it is nearly impossible to. Sure it’s “covered” in theory, however they make getting reimbursed so time consuming and frustrating that most people just give up after a few months.
Healthcare for all / single-payer healthcare works great for all the countries that rank above the US on happiness/quality of life lists, and don't let anyone tell you any different. It keeps the costs low, and you're not gonna "die waiting for an essential surgery" like they fear monger about, either. Those long wait lists are for things that aren't immediate/life threatening. The only REAL difference is that you can choose to get private no-wait healthcare if you're wealthy enough, and that no operation will ever send you into medical debt no matter how poor you are. All the noise about how "bad" single-payer/universal healthcare in general is, are big lies from someone representing corporate interests, or duped by their easily-disproved rhetoric..! I've lived through both and not having to worry about losing everything I ever worked for if I happen to come down with a bad health issue.. That's worth any little gripes some dip who watches Fox or Shapiro too much may have with it.
Americans are figuring out that the enemies who want to destroy their lives aren’t on the other side of the world they are sitting in offices right here.
When I was hospitalized the first thing my Health Insurance (Blue Cross Blue Shield) did was try to get me kicked out as soon as possible. They succeeded. It was quite sobering. I knew they didn't care, but to have such solid proof was mind blowing.
F*cking brilliant. I keep coming back. Not just because it's beautiful, not just because it's relevant, not just because it's well written, poignant, and elegant.. It's all of the above. Gat dang genius, I tell ya what.
"The ingredients ya got bake the cake ya get." A beautiful way to say "You fucked around and found out." Awesome song I am so glad the algorithm blessed me today.
I thought that the rebellious American spirit was dead but here it is rising out of the ashes like a phoenix. "Love your rage, not your cage."- Alan Moore
When a fire is lit , you can attract all types of bugs but they are still just bugs. Albeit a reminder, that some of those bugs are dangerously poisonous. So it wise to just leave guard up and know how to control a fire and to know when to just let it burn and rage or die out... ( Might work on this more, apologies, sidetrack with a fire elsewhere )
Mmky, looks like there a one man operation that doesn't know how to aim. Drew some fire lines for the collateral. ( Ville ) if they so happened to have any sense of direction and show up here. Two face t/rolling game and neither face seems to have any eyes. Going after the whole page even though none of them know what it's about. Waited to find me on site that I would have little interaction. Honestly, I think it's just another medical malpractice case against the state. Don't trust them but they need help for whatever is going on with them.
It's capitalism. Capitalism requires poverty and suffering to work. Capitalism without poverty and human suffering is like a car without gasoline or electricity.
@@captianjolly So what you're saying is that we really DO need extremely deep reform, rather than just some tweaks to capitalism, if we want to build I society where human life is valued beyond the labour that can be extracted from it. I mean, there's like 19 other capitalist countries that employ a mixed-market strategy which are doing a fair bit better than the US in terms of overall happiness in the populace and overall quality of life, I think climbing that QoL list is a good target to have, but I'm sure not gonna stand in the way of those who want deeper, more substantive change!
I hear a little John Prine in here. These are fine turns of phrases my friend. Great work, interesting story and on target politically, no pun intended.
No, people are celebrating an assassination. Not only that, they want more. It's literally promotion of terrorism, almost by definition. It's gross and doesn't lead to anywhere good. I can't imagine many people supporting this are very mature.

As a business owner myself.... . If they would not have to pay these CEOs big severance packages there would be more money left for both clients and investors. It's really a win win situation.
"They should start buying graves to sell us when we're dead" is both the most well written and sickeningly true lyric. Sadly would surprise me if you start seeing cemeterys sponsored by HMO's like freaking sports fields. Taking our money coming and going.

people wont want to hear it but California's social-healthcare program Partnership saved my life. they covered every dollar of my $300,000.00 cancer battle. laid-off in 2021 and lost my healthcare, took my life savings to start a small business then was diagnosed with cancer 4 months after starting the business. I qualified because of how poor i was. I wouldn't be here to leave this comment if it wasn't for fellow California taxpayers agreeing that being poor shouldn't mean you die from a preventable cause.

My wife's name was jayme. She passed away last year from cancer at the age of 36. She only wanted to live long enough to watch our little girl go to her first day of school. She didn't get to was denied a pet scan was denied a different cemo drug that she wasnt allergic to. Their solution was just administer it slower. Insurance shouldn't dictate what care you get your doctor should but thats not profitable enough. I hope every ceo and insurance company majority stock holder ect get treated like my wife was. She was tourchered every day for a year. She deserved better
Hey Tyler, so sorry to hear about your wife. The health insurance industry is by far the most evil business this world has ever seen. RIP Jayme. Much love from the UK
How many people did Brian Thompson murder with the companies deny policy. Don't feel the least amount of sorrow for him but my heart and prayers go out to the millions of people who lost loved ones or in the midst of dealing with this vile organization.
Can you imagine being so hated as a company the people started cheering on the person that killed your CEO because of the amount of people that he sent to death with his poor choices of denying care
JuliaMonster - United Health Care might be the worse of the worse. That said anyone cheering a murderer as some type of hero is just as bad as the man that was killed.
And to be honest the responses to the Tik toks could be more to do with the fact that Luigi is a very good looking man I suppose you could make that argument
He looks like John Fogerty and sounds like Pete Seeger or Dylan. If this kid takes the work ethic of AC/DC and stays the course, he’s going to be in the history books of music.
Its not left and right. Its have and have not. Until lobbists arnt a thing and a persons worth isnt determined by their bank account, the battle will continue. Its time, people. Time to stand up for the 90%, no matter how they voted. We are ALL human. We are ALL americans.
Wouldn't it be so cool if we could come together as people? Won't happen due to selfishness and stupidity, but it's a romantic thought that gives the warm fuzzies.
Americans aren't gonna stand up and demand change. They're going to vent online for a few weeks and then go back to their lives. And, hey, I'm no different. I'm pointing the finger at myself, too. But it's always what happens.
It's not left and right, it's people who just want to live normal lives and people who have selfish dreams of being filthy rich. So many uneducated lower middle class people vote against their own interest because the right wing media has conned them into believing that "The American Dream," a.k.a "the opportunity to become excessively rich on capitalist profit" is some noble construct worth protecting, and that if they vote in favor of ANY kind of government funded social support, they are threatening the existence of the American Dream. As long as we continue to glorify the opportunity for wealth, consumption, profit, and individual hardship, this country isn't going to change in the slightest bit.
Had never heard of you before this video just popped up. GREAT, and totally accurate (sadly), song!!! Hope this takes off and get a lot of publicity. Best wishes; Merry Christmas!! FREE LUIGI!!!!!

Friggin brilliant.
Saw someone on tiktok say this must have been what it felt like to hear Dylan play his protest songs in the 60s
Your the first artist in 10 years that got me. Just found your existence yesterday and can't get enough. The style and grit of woody, the freedom and wit of pat the bunny, the plucking of John prine, and the relevance of today. F#ucking love your brain!
Deny
Defend
Depose
One of the few places you can say that without being censored
As a business owner myself.... . If they would not have to pay these CEOs big severance packages there would be more money left for both clients and investors. It's really a win win situation.
Most CEOs are overpaid. Seriously, this whole “the line has to ALWAYS go up” is an INSANE fallacy and is pure GREED
>business owner
Bro, you’re next
@@oklahomacityradiowaves5462 Thats fine, it was a good run.
@@oklahomacityradiowaves5462not really. If he's not actively making people go on without life saving treatment i think he'll be ok.
Jesse Welles, What the Hell, He can tell the Truth, like no one else! Damn, someone sign that boy! Perfection!
"They should start buying graves to sell us when we're dead" is both the most well written and sickeningly true lyric. Sadly would surprise me if you start seeing cemeterys sponsored by HMO's like freaking sports fields. Taking our money coming and going.
National Health Service, which was widely popular and had wide support inside the Conservative Party. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher promised Britons in 1982, the NHS is "safe in our hands."[9]
Don't need to be communist to support nationalized health
Cool, how has it done under the conservatives since then?
Damn, this is really good. Deft and relevant lyrics, simple & well executed. (And it's real human skill, not AI). 10/10.
There ain't no us in their private trusts......😢
"the ingredients ya got
bake the cake ya get"
Holy crap, I'm gonna start using that line now
United we truly stand my fellow brothers & sisters ! Best of luck to my man Mangione
Deny, defend and depose
people wont want to hear it but California's social-healthcare program Partnership saved my life.
they covered every dollar of my $300,000.00 cancer battle.
laid-off in 2021 and lost my healthcare, took my life savings to start a small business then was diagnosed with cancer 4 months after starting the business.
I qualified because of how poor i was. I wouldn't be here to leave this comment if it wasn't for fellow California taxpayers agreeing that being poor shouldn't mean you die from a preventable cause.
Yeah people miss the point. The point is it shouldn't be 300k.
Regulate before more blank checks to the corporations
If this man doesn't get a record deal, I'm going to lose all hope for the music industry! Keep pickin' Jesse, you're an amazing musician.
I spent 25 years working for record companies. He's doing fine now. Why split the money with some big corporation?
@@normiselena4507 Fair enough. I don't exactly mean he should sign with a big corporation; just hope he can make a living making music others can enjoy.
Denying people lifesaving care so that they now have nothing left to lose is a recipe for disaster.
Luigi would be proud. Thank you.
they hid the likes numbers, overlords are afraid! UNITE
Holy crap, they did
Fook em give it a like anyway put a like on every comment you can. Use their algorithm to our advantage. Peace.
Thanks for being a voice of reason in an insane, corrupt world, Mr Welles. I love the sermons you preach - they are full of indignation, humor, and a tiny dose of hope. Rock on, brother and keep fighting the good fight.
My wife's name was jayme. She passed away last year from cancer at the age of 36. She only wanted to live long enough to watch our little girl go to her first day of school. She didn't get to was denied a pet scan was denied a different cemo drug that she wasnt allergic to. Their solution was just administer it slower. Insurance shouldn't dictate what care you get your doctor should but thats not profitable enough. I hope every ceo and insurance company majority stock holder ect get treated like my wife was. She was tourchered every day for a year. She deserved better
I will remember your wife and your story
Hey Tyler, so sorry to hear about your wife. The health insurance industry is by far the most evil business this world has ever seen. RIP Jayme. Much love from the UK
so, so sorry 🙏
😢
I hope humanity succeeds
This song is the greatest thing United Health has ever given us.
Earworm for all the best reason. "There ain't no US in the private trust."
"the ingredients ya got
bake the cake ya get"
amazing lyrics.
I want a t-shirt that says, "The ingredients you got, bake the cake you get."
“CEO” needs to become a pejorative term.
The Jeff Bezos of fear. Wow. That hit hard. Great song and an incredibly important message.
How many people did Brian Thompson murder with the companies deny policy. Don't feel the least amount of sorrow for him but my heart and prayers go out to the millions of people who lost loved ones or in the midst of dealing with this vile organization.
Can you imagine being so hated as a company the people started cheering on the person that killed your CEO because of the amount of people that he sent to death with his poor choices of denying care
JuliaMonster - United Health Care might be the worse of the worse. That said anyone cheering a murderer as some type of hero is just as bad as the man that was killed.
Those executives don't care. They are fabulously wealthy and live in gated estates away from the peasants who hate them.
@JuliaMonster do you have any evidence of that, are you just repeating the same catch phrases you've heard.
@lion-foxtactical6357 no there's signs that are being posted up for freeing Luigi bro
And to be honest the responses to the Tik toks could be more to do with the fact that Luigi is a very good looking man I suppose you could make that argument
He looks like John Fogerty and sounds like Pete Seeger or Dylan. If this kid takes the work ethic of AC/DC and stays the course, he’s going to be in the history books of music.
"The Warren Buffet of health, the Jeff Bezos of fear." How do you do this?
Its not left and right. Its have and have not. Until lobbists arnt a thing and a persons worth isnt determined by their bank account, the battle will continue. Its time, people. Time to stand up for the 90%, no matter how they voted. We are ALL human. We are ALL americans.
Wouldn't it be so cool if we could come together as people? Won't happen due to selfishness and stupidity, but it's a romantic thought that gives the warm fuzzies.
@@mattschmitt9924It may be hard, but we have no choice but to try. By failing to try, we guarantee failure. Do what you can, my friend.
Americans aren't gonna stand up and demand change. They're going to vent online for a few weeks and then go back to their lives.
And, hey, I'm no different. I'm pointing the finger at myself, too. But it's always what happens.
It's not left and right, it's people who just want to live normal lives and people who have selfish dreams of being filthy rich. So many uneducated lower middle class people vote against their own interest because the right wing media has conned them into believing that "The American Dream," a.k.a "the opportunity to become excessively rich on capitalist profit" is some noble construct worth protecting, and that if they vote in favor of ANY kind of government funded social support, they are threatening the existence of the American Dream.
As long as we continue to glorify the opportunity for wealth, consumption, profit, and individual hardship, this country isn't going to change in the slightest bit.
Beautifully said my brother
This guy is on point in every song. It's weird, but refreshing
I lost count how many times I've played this video...
I need to go see a doctor!
I didnt expect frodo to be singing about american healthcare but here we are, this is the best timeline
This dude is special!!!
Thank you, Jesse! Great song!
Brilliantly done. All your videos shot out in the fields. so great!
Had never heard of you before this video just popped up. GREAT, and totally accurate (sadly), song!!! Hope this takes off and get a lot of publicity. Best wishes; Merry Christmas!! FREE LUIGI!!!!!
Some people used your video and didn't credit you, but I found you anyway 🥰 Thank you for adding your voice to the choir of humanity! I love it

Thanks, Jesse. Your talents are sorely needed right now.
