This is a genuine question.

I have a hard time with this. My righteous side wants him to face an appropriate sentence, but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.

P.S. this topic is highly controversial and I want actual opinions so let’s be civil.

And if you’re a mod, delete this if the post is inappropriate or if it gets too heated.

    In most circumstances, I absolutely would not encourage vigilantism.

    Millions of people effectively have no choice in their health care.

    They are seeing friends and family die or become destitute because these companies refuse to give them the care they’re paying for.

    These companies own the government, and they indirectly write the laws.

    They are making the decisions to make money rather than do their jobs and provide healthcare. They are literally taking our money and buying yachts and property instead of just paying for medical procedures and medication.

    If this is what it takes for that all to change, I see no reason to make a martyr of him. It’s the corporations that need to change, not the guy forcing them to.
