    The CEO was basically a captain of the capitalists us healthcare system. If he wasn’t responsible for the misery caused by his command of his part of that system, then who is?

      The lawmakers that created the system? The voters that demanded it?

        Keep going, you’re almost there…

        …and the individual business owners/leaders that wake up every day and voluntarily choose to knowingly, indirectly murder fellow humans in pursuit of endless profit on the loop hole a broken system allows them.

        You gotta go back to Mesopotamia for the invention of health insurance. This one is 100% the fault of “free markets”.

            No, it’s the people who maintain it, like the CEO’s and majority shareholders. Stop them, and you stop the system. Might come back though, that’s the problem with humans, we’re really good at fucking each other over.

              You don’t get the be the biggest ensurer that offers the most affordable plans by just focusing on your clients experience as its really the companies who decide for their employees mainly. I do think a company who doesn’t engage in this shitty behavior has it harder in this market thats clearly not regulated properly
