The murder of the CEO or the murders carried out by the company through the denial of treatment, therapy, and medicine?

NOBODY is justifying the cold-blooded shooting of anybody. But we are demanding that while Mangione is prosecuted, there must also be accountability for the deaths caused by this CEO and his company.

And let's understand this isn't the end of it. Quite the opposite. Perhaps people would feel differently if UHC had a panel of medical experts, a "death panel" as Sarah Palin would say, making these life-and-death decisions to withhold care and treatment. Perhaps.

But that is not what is happening. These denial-of-care decisions are made by low-level clerks with no medical expertise. And it gets worse. The company is moving to use AI to make these life-ending decisions entirely by program. In other words, this is even worse than the "death panels" that Palin imagined.

I know many people are baffled about the unexpected reaction to the shooting of the CEO. Dems need to understand that Americans are fed up with these huge corporations and the entitled executives that are profiting off the misery of others. There is very much an "Eat the rich" atmosphere developing, and Dems would be wise to get out in front of that parade. While nobody is condoning simply gunning down these assholes in cold blood, we should be demanding accountability for their actions. When corporations take actions that kill people, or brainwash people with disinformation to elect more corporate enablers, their officers should be held CRIMINALLY responsible with harsh prison terms. And when they rip off consumers, they should be taxed out of existence. We should be the party of "Eat the Rich". There is a huge hunger for such a populist movement.
