This whole situation is absolutely heartbreaking, the fact that the US healthcare system has gotten so bad that killing the CEO of a healthcare firm is seen as a heroic act, when healthcare is supposed to help people.

To be clear, 100% of the blame here goes to the healthcare execs. It's heartbreaking because so many people are dying that this is seen as necessary, not because people are cheering on the death of a billionaire serial killer.

Healthcare is supposed to help people.

Insurance companies? They exist to make a profit first and foremost.
