Two issues:

~ The problem persist despite the incident. Maybe this is the beginning of a sea change for healthcare in the US, but so far, it's a single ring wave in the pond.

~ Europe is no stranger to problems being solved, including each other, via violence.

not really, they turned back on their anesthesia claims, people have been getting their requests approved.

If they start going back on it, I'm sure another CEO shooting will clear that right up for them again.

I hope you're willing to volunteer yourself to go to prison for murder along with dealing with the fact you took a human's life. Because this single incident isn't going to lead to long term change. Or are you fine to just sit back while insisting others do what you won't?

All it really takes is one person with a now terminal illness that has previously been denied lifesaving healthcare to decide they want to take someone with them on the way down. I'm sure there are quite a few people in the US in that situation.

100% This moment can help galvanize people to the need to fix our Healthcare, but random acts of violence won't fix it, people organizing together will.

I'm going to take that to mean organized violence, which is true and based

The best organization are the ones with car bombs and FNFALs.

Europe is no stranger to problems being solved, including each other, via violence.

Central, western and northern Europe have left the dark timeline nearly 80 years ago though. Hopefully the USA will follow at some point.

Eastern Eurooe hasn't and they're currently acting as a buffer from it spreading further west, which it seems likely western and central Eurooe are happy to allow if you pay attention to how they vote.

Of course then their are the exports, France doing a bang up job of using organsied violence in places like New Caledonia etal.
