healthcare system has been unmercifully preying on the public for decades. As he said we do pay double, triple, and even quadruple what other countries pay and yet have some of the poorest results--high infant mortality, lower life expectancy, poorer surgical outcomes etc.
What qualifies him as crazy IMO, aside from resorting to murder, is his thinking that killing one CEO would have any tangible results. Our broken system from big pharma to hospitals to doctors to insurance to the entire industry is locked in bedrock in the halls of DC and funded by millions in campaign bribes. The industries number one priority is maximizing profit with patient care a distant thought.
Single payor (which likely will never happen) would have helped but even that wouldn't squelch the greed of the healthcare industry. Don't expect any major changes for the better.
