Thank you for calling it murder. If some rich asshole gets whacked, it’s “assassination”, but for any of the rest of us it’s simply murder. You never hear about the assassination of a forklift driver, or a nurse, or a locksmith, or a food worker. As if these so-called elites are any more important than anyone else.

Wouldn’t change anything. These medical decisions are signed off on by MDs. I used to work for an insurer and those MDs were all dead inside.

I think having a healthcare system that doesn't reward profiteering would fix this.

No. There’s lots of doctors who don’t follow this oath. “Doing harm” is simply part of medicine the oath is there for plausible deniability

What would that do when corporations are mandated to put shareholders over everything? And they do have doctors already being the ones to deny claimes

Would mandating all healthcare executives to do the Hippocratic oath solve this problem? They would have opposing positions of having to provide care while maximizing shareholder value. Which in itself would show that insurance companies should not be allowed to exist.
