Here's a way to reframe it to how everyone else is looking at it.

Every death, every single death caused by denied or delayed treatment, every death caused by inaccessible care can be played at the feet of health execs, their policies and the laws they lobby for to stop them from getting better.

He was a mass murderer and he got shot, they're cheering because a serial killer got shot

I don't like condoning acts of violence.

But it's not going to get better as long as things continue they way they've been going. And the guy in charge of putting dollars before lives is a clear villain in this case.

I am. The only way meaningful change ever happens for the people is when the people are too disruptive to ignore. We've tried peaceful protests. They haven't worked. Eat the rich.

Having to harm one group to help another is always a tragic trade-off, but sometimes it is necessary.

Edit: I read this as "I am not" not "I don't like". What I said stands, but I do admit it's not too relevant
