    Everyone knows this is theater.

    Billionaires won’t kill him before the trial, they’ll wait to see if he gets a death sentence.

    To everyone else, he’s a hero.

      Straight up murder does make healthcare less expensive; rather, it cheapens human life.

        You’re right, insurance companies are incredibly evil for socially murdering so many people, cheapening human life.

        Then healthcare should be dirt cheap with how these companies’ decisions result in excess suffering and early death for their customers.
