MODERATORS
The US healthcare system is even more terrifying.
I think that's a totally different problem not solved by shooting replaceable executives
I honestly prefer this to bombings and riots and such. At least its targeted. These problems are not a magical effect coming from the ether. Its decisions by those in power and every replacement is an opportunity for better decisions.
There's an analogy that Robert Heinlein liked regarding assassination
It's like shooting horses that can't clear a jump until you get one that can
But it misses the fact that humans see what happened to the last guy and are motivated to not let it happen to them, and in cases like this it's pretty obvious what hurdles health fund CEOs need to clear
It will not solve the problem, for sure, but I can't disagree that it could have some effect xD.
