    “Violence is never the answer, but people can be pushed only so far,” Warren added. “This is a warning that if you push people hard enough, they lose faith in the ability of their government to make change, lose faith in the ability of the people who are providing the health care to make change, and start to take matters into their own hands in ways that will ultimately be a threat to everyone.”

      Violence is the answer people give when the people asking the questions systematically ignore the correct answer for a literal generation.

      Violence is the language of the unheard.

      Also, a couple points of order:

      • Insurers are categorically not “providing healthcare”. They’re fucking profiteering middlemen making hay in a domain with inelastic, concrete, largely non-deferrable demand. In the medical industry, “payors” (insurers) are an entirely distinct category of entities from “providers” (doctors).
      • it’s not dangerous to everyone. It’s only dangerous to medical insurance C-suites.

      I swear, Warren has a deeply frustrating habit of getting things 2/3 right, and then just absolutely mangling crucial parts of the thesis.

      In the absence of justice, people will begin to settle for revenge.

        Either can come from the government or the community.
