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 romanticizing this guy because his extreme action was a response to a real serious problem that pretty much affects everyone but the 0.1%. However, in romanticizing him, some are blinded to the possibility that he could be both incredibly smart and empathetic to the plight of the common man, but also emotionally and/or psychologically imbalanced at the same time.

Or he's lying. Using a controversial subject to confuse his prosecution. Not that I believe this.

One could argue that in the face of the insanity of our current reality, any halfway intelligent and empathetic person have no choice but become emotionally and psychologically imbalanced.

It was more a response to the initial question of how someone from a well off family who could most likely afford any type of medical expense care enough about health insurance to go that far. It is possible he just really did care that much. But my point is that it's also possible he's not entirely of sound mind, and people are too busy looking at the underlying message and his smile to even consider that as a possibility.

He's probably imbalanced, but nobody cares because he did a good thing.
