I can see how the frustration experienced by Americans with the health insurance industry could push an unstable person in pain over the edge. I've had numerous issues with health insurers over the years. Recently, after attempting to work within the complaint system for 6 months about a denial that I had received pre-approval on, I emailed the CEO of a major insurer. No reply. Emailed again. No reply. And I am a retiree of that company. I've given up on 3 different insurance disputes over the past 2 years, and I know I am not alone. Imagine how an unstable person would feel.

I do not agree with or condone killing someone to create awareness, prove a point or enact what they think is justice. This young man has not only taken a life, but has ruined his own - and he is no hero in my mind.
I will admit that when I did a little research, I was a bit shocked to see that United Health Group made a $22 billion dollar PROFIT in 2023. I worked for a P&C insurance company and I understand the need for healthy profits for come what may, but $22 billion seems obscene.

Where are the op-eds about the profoundly negative impacts an unchecked for-profit health insurance industry has on our society?
Greed is killing us all, there is no accountability, and anger is justified.

Killing of any one is not acceptable. However, insurance company executives have been killing average people by denying necessary medical care. That killing is legal, allowed by our Congress, paid by lobbyist.

Public relations firms are making a mint - paid for by our skyrocketing premiums- to craft sophistic responses to the deluge of negative publicity well earned by the health care greed industry.
