    I think their argument is his death changes nothing.

      It does, though. This guy was a fucking asshole even for a health insurance company CEO.

        I mean, yes it does change things for CEO+family. But nothing is going to change regarding how these companies treat people.

          I meant in the sense that he took a, well, normal insurer and raised its claim denial rates to one of the highest in the industry. The world is legitimately a better place with him gone, because while I doubt UHC will accept more claims at least he won’t be around to kill even more people.

            He won’t be, but the next guy will do the same shit.

              if only there was a recent example of how to effectively solve that particular problem…

                That’s your wishful thinking, it won’t happen again.

                  of course it won’t! it hasn’t happened ever before either!

                  like it didn’t happen in 2011.

                  like it didn’t happen in 2006.

                  like it didn’t happen in the 1920s.

                  or the 1800s.

                  or the 1700s.

                  or the 1600s.

                  or the 1500s.

                  it’s always never happened before, and it always never happened again.

                  tyrants never got what they deserved before, so they’ll never get what they deserved again.

                  are you just unfamiliar with the entire concept of history?

                  here’s a handy list of all the times this exact thing never happened: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assassinations

                    Your most recent example is 13 years ago, then 18 years ago. Do you honestly think 3 assassinations in 20 years is making CEOs so the right thing? Cause it sure doesn’t seem like it.
