The article discusses the conflicting emotions surrounding the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. While his death should be a tragedy, some individuals reacted with glee, citing Thompson's role in the company’s high claims rejection rate. The author argues that this reaction reflects a deeper issue within a system designed to prioritize profit over patient care. Ironically, the same critics often participate in the very system they decry. The piece explores the frustrations with capitalism and the healthcare system, questioning whether Thompson's actions were a reflection of the broader societal issues at play.
But here's where the irony hits me: The people dancing on Thompson's grave are vilifying someone for doing the very job our system incentivized him to do.
It's the laziness of this so-called revolution. The same people electing the same congresspeople who do nothing to fix our broken healthcare system are directing their rage at a single individual for being a disappointing product of the systems we voted for.
