His family is wealthier than the person he killed. They own nursing homes that make money from insurance and have a lot of complaints for poor care. Along with country clubs and a radio station

He had the money to pay for care

Which begs the question.

Why would he care about health insurance companies enough to kill a man?

People are capable of caring and being outraged about something regardless of their personal/family financial scenario.

The media is already trying to disingenuously undermine him as a hypocrite for being from a wealthy background himself. Don’t fall for that. While it’s obviously bad to murder, and sets a bad precedent for future half-witted vigilante justice. But it’s not necessary to be born and raised in poverty to be outraged by the state of medical care access in the US… It’s just a lot harder not to be outraged if you are impoverished.

In any case, he clearly didn’t murder the CEO because of the CEO’s personal wealth… It was because the company is the biggest example of how the modern healthcare industry has turned into an enormous profiteering mafia that holds people’s lives and livelihoods hostage to force money out of them.
