What do you think causes more deaths, CEO assassins, or healthcare CEOs? If you depend on insurance for healthcare, the reality is the power of a healthcare CEO.

Indeed. Some people even express sympathy for him!

I asked my ex (an endocrinologist), and he told me that if the shooter stands trial before the jury made of doctors, the deliberations will be done in 5 minutes. And the shooter will go free.

That's how much doctors hate the insurance CEOs. I also highly recommend this clip (also from an actual doctor): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWA2aQYXDbo - and it's not actually a joke. The policy lampooned in this video was real, BCBS walked it back after the assasination.

I think it’s more detached from reality to think actions (especially monstrous ones like denying care to sick people) would be consequence free.

Ghouls, all of them. And all the adoration for the killer is going to create a whole lot of copycats.

Agreed, too much focus on healthcare CEOs.

There are many other CEOs and a billionaires that could be targeted too!

In what way?
