Profiting Off Of Death

Profiting off of the deaths of innocent people is criminal. Admittedly Mangione's act was extreme, but people are dying from the lack of health care in this country. You have people like this CEO that are making obscene multi-million dollar salaries off of the suffering and deaths of people. Health care should be a right, not a source of profits for corporatists. Tens of thousands of people die in this country every year due to lack of health insurance. God knows how many die because their treatment is denied by Private For-Profit Health Insurance Companies like the one in this case. This should be considered a form of white collar crime. Maybe if this sort of corporate corruption was illegal there would be less incentive for extremists like Mangione to act out and commit a crime.
