    And although this is a somewhat simplified view of the facts, the profit in this scenario is directly representative of the amount of money people paid into premiums that was pocketed by the healthcare corporation rather than being paid out in medical coverage.

    I’ll give you a hint, they paid out 80% of what they took in. Whether that’s 1B or 16B, they paid out 80% of that.

    How bad does a person’s actions have to be to deserve death? How many people do they have to let die for personal (or corporate) gains?

    Certainly worse than “participation in a system that profits from people paying for healthcare”. I’m asking you to provide a morally sound justification for this specific murder.

    but Brian Thompson was at least complicit in all of those deaths

    So was the desk worker in accounting. Are you saying it’s good to murder them too?

      80% paid out means 20% stolen.

      So was the desk worker… Do they have the ability to make executive decisions for united healthcare? I think not.

        I’m curious how you think a “free” healthcare system somehow operates without a budget…

        Do they have the ability to make executive decisions for united healthcare? I think not.

        They can’t refuse to carry out work that contributes to these unjust acts? Shouldn’t it be their duty to commit fraud against the company in favour of the client?
