It is very unlikely to have anything to do with the assassination, especially given that they’re two DIFFERENT insurance companies, and since afaik authorities haven’t caught the assassin yet, they likely have no idea what his motives were. Could’ve been a personal vendetta or something else entirely for all we know. Regardless, an assassination is unlikely to change any policy ever because that would set an extremely dangerous precedent for the people who work at these companies: that killing them will get the change that people want and need in healthcare. And anyways, fatal violence almost never gets people to be like: “hey, let’s be better people so that others won’t kill us!” That’s not how morality, corporations, nor human nature work. It’s STILL not smart nor productive, as well as not moral, to kill people. I can’t believe I have to say this.
Please stop sending me hate mail for saying vigilante justice/murder of/against Insurence ceos isn’t smart or productive or moral.
It’s really fucked up that I have to defend that position.
#i’m getting REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE with how people are justifying this#idgaf if you don’t care about some ceo being killed believe me i’m not shedding any tears either#but my dad was literally a block away and we’re SO DAMN LUCKY that it was such a targeted killing and not… like… a bomb or a mass shooting#plus my dad used to work in health insurance and even tho he was never at the ceo level it’s not a huge leap for someone to be like:#‘all health insurance ceo’s deserve to die’ to ‘idk if health insurance employees get caught in the crossfire of an assasination attempt’#*idc not idk#to ‘all health insurance employees deserve to die because they’re all a part of a company that denies necessary medical coverage’#ok /end rant#eta: what i’m saying in the first part of my reblog is that i believe it’s entirely a coincidence that one insurance company decided to#reverse a decision soon after the ceo of a different insurance company was assassinated#and is more likely due to the public backlash they got#healthcare
