    I am honestly surprised people fucked over by health insurance haven’t tried to take things into their own hands before, if that’s what this is. And if that’s not what this is, it surprises me that it hasn’t happened yet.

    Plenty of people (me included) have been severely fucked over by insurance companies. I’m not willing to kill anyone, but there are a lot of people out there who are. Especially if they know they’re dying and have nothing to lose.

      The CEO is an employee, a manager. You know how shops have managers hired by the owners to run the place? If that were the motive, wouldn’t owners be the preferred target?

        Did you just say with a straight face that a CEO is simply a middleman who was powerless to change the internal workings of a system?

          He’s right to suggest that a board of directors should possibly be looked at as equally to blame for a company’s policies and actions.

            They should be, but they are harder to get to.

            I mean sure you want to kill the opposing militaries generals, but a captain or above is nothing to scoff at.

            Besides CEOs are more like a lieutenant or full bird Colonel.

        CEOs often are paid primarily in stock, so more than likely this guy had a significant ownership stake.

        If the CEO disagrees with the directions of the board, the CEO has a number of options. They can easily be considered culpable.
