    Agree with opinions on insurance companies but execution not an answer. They will just promote someone else.

    True. Execution is definitely not the answer.

    That said, still not sure we should be overly broken up about it.

    That’s my assumption. Should really winnow down the suspect list to *checks notes* every human living in the United States.

    Maybe the next CEO will consider not denying claims at 2x the industry rate. I wonder how many children this guy made orphans with that policy? More than two?

    Yep. It sucks that his family has to go through that when it could be avoided.

    Insurance companies (including United Healthcare) kill 50 year old men with kids every day.

    We're really spoiled for choice in how we can not give a shit about this.

    Thoughts and prayers for gun violence?
    Play stupid games win stupid prizes for being a piece of shit insurance CEO?
    Billionaires will be proven right to fear the average person, because increasingly the average person has nothing left to lose.

    And ironically, universal health care is probably the thing that could make the absolute largest positive impact on all of these issues.

    Yeah - People are hating on insurance companies which is fine but the man did not deserve to be assassinated.

    He was the CEO of the stingiest, cruelest insurance company in the US, perhaps on Earth. I have no sympathy at all.
