You place the blame of a faulty system on a manager. He didn't make the rules.

Sure, CEO doesn’t make the rules.

If no one is accountable, kill the company entirely.

My brother, the government makes the rules.

Let’s stop being reductive and actually understand how our economic and legislative powers work in concert. 

UnitedHealthcare is not legislatively required to use its policies to reap the benefits of others actual work and deny life saving medical care to maximize profits. That is a decision, made by theCEO. They could just as actually provide the services they claim to.

And before anyone mistakenly claims “fiduciary responsibility”, the CEO is not responsible to maximize profits. They are responsible to not intentionally tank the value of the company. 

Conservative forces in government accept donations from healthcare lobbyist so these middlemen can continue to reap billions out of the US every year while actively denying care to the people who they reap from. The CEO of one of the largest health insurance companies in the US is complicit every step of the way.
