    I do not condone murder in any way shape or form. This is a very unusual circumstance where I find myself conflicted. You have a man that was a CEO of a multi billion dollar health insurance company, that lived his life every single day, deciding who gets to live and who gets to die all in the name of profit and protecting the company’s “best interests”. Now we have a shooter that took matters it into their own hands, and “ punished” the company that made that call - something that our government, and our elected officials have failed to do for decades.
    So now we have one person on the loose, that illegally murdered a rich CEO of one of the largest health insurance providers in the United States. And on the other hand, we have a now deceased, rich CEO of said health insurance company, who committed potentially thousands of “murders” by denying life saving healthcare to patients - which is legal in our country.
    Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Someone took a stand against that. Now here we are. Rooting for the criminal, and not the victim. A human life is a human life. Whether it was done illegally, or legally, this madness has to end. No one should suffer, and no one should be in pain. And it’s sad that we see it every single day where these rich billion dollar corporations are allowed to play judge, jury, and executioner. But when the little guy stand up to it, they are murderers, have severe mental issues, etc..
    This was just a furious person who took it out on the leader of a group that caused that pain.
    Whether this is right, or this is wrong; as a good hard-working, honest man, I can’t say. There will be consequences, yes, but in this case, I’m not sharing any tears for this CEO or his family. And the CEO‘s family claims he was a “good man“, or they had no knowledge about his job actually was, they are turning a blind eye to reality and lying not only to themselves, but to anyone else they say it to.

      That's an exaggeration. There is no American Healthcare System. Instead, many systems exist; United Healthcare being one of them.

      It's an insurance company. I don't wish anyone harm and do not condone this in any way, but it's not hard to imagine that if you F with people's lives enough one of them is going to F with your life.
