So the CEO of United Healthcare gets murdered and I feel sympathy bfor his family and sorrow for his death but I can't say I would feel sorrow if our for-profit hwalthcare system was replaced with a govwenment run (OMG!) hwalthcare for all system and we redirected the huge amount of money we currently pay for healthcare, either directly or through insurance to pay for it. True, we wouldn't have CEOs making $20 million per year but no one would not be able to afford the healthcare sevices or medicatiobs thwy or their chilsren need. Our country should be collectively ashamed of our present healthcare system. Most other rich countries have solved this human need but American pokitics is just a mirage hiding the fact that we live in an olifarchy.
