The hate for our abusive and predatory "healthcare" system has been omnipresent for a very long time. This just gave us all a shared focal point to collect around. I hope this keeps building steam. This one act could lead to collective actions to make these companies scared. These CEOs, politicians, and billionaires NEED to know they are not untouchable. I supported a girlfriend through terminal cancer and saw how "selective" insurance companies can be on what diagnostics and treatments they'll allow. That shit radicalized me permanently.
Most of the media seems committed to ensuring that this focus on abusive health insurance companies evaporates as soon as possible.
My guess is that this catalyst will do nothing except cause them to make sure they're untouchable, and will probably figure out a way to use taxpayer money to do it.
Ahh. The good old at&t tag line, "Reach out and touch someone" comes to mind.
