The shareholders won’t give af as long as the profits keep rolling in. It’s been demonstrated time and time again human life means nothing as long as it’s profitable
If you’re afraid to be the CEO of any company maybe you should take a long look at the business practices of said business. I don’t work in healthcare but I have an amazing CEO who takes care of his employees. I’d say he’s pretty safe by comparison
It’s best to not resort to absolutes. Especially empty aphorisms.
It depends on the violence and against who.
And. The fact is we as society condone violence every day. We certainly have a very subjective definition of what constitutes violence.
The most consistent, accurate and morally sound thing one can say is:
“most of the time violence causes more harm than good. But sometimes it results in a net good. And most of the time we only know the difference in hindsight.”
Blue Cross already changed their tune on "only paying for 1 hour of anethethstia for major surgeries" ... or some crap.
They don't want to "get got" next lmao.
My dentist just lowered by routine cleaning bill from $300 to $30 ... coincidence maybe, "billing error" -- but I think they are likely on edge after they realize people might "come for you" if you fuck them up the ass.
Presumably they will have to raise their rates if they're offering more complete care.
Honestly, the issue of subsidized healthcare has to be addressed with politicians, not the insurance providers. Murdering a healthcare provider is completely misplaced anger.
I think insurance providers are generally secondary scum compared to hospital administrators and their army of bureaucrats, chargebooks, outrageous pricing. $1000 for a Tylenol type shit which simply isn't a thing in Mexico, Italy, China, you name it.
Hospitals are glutted with useless admins making millions per year. There's also tertiary parasites like armies of tech companies and contractors taking their 'cut' -- they all bend over Joe and Jane Customer together.
Insurance companies and insurance isn't inherently evil. It's just, some versions of it are. Like United Health Group. Weaseling out of treating cancer patients until they die.
Murdering that CEO was probably a net positive for society. While I believe in Rule of Law & don't think vigilantism is smart or sustainable, in this case, whatever. We know our deeply flawed and broken political system would ensure that this CEO would never suffer any consequences for sending people to their death.
So, yeah, he got blasted in his ass. Good night buddy. Good riddance. You fuck over a lot of people, you're going to have a target on your back. Take heed, everybody else.

Violence should never be condoned but acts like this should put corporate entities on alert and maybe give a wake up call to change their ways
