If his motives were genuine, which I say like that because his act has been called into question, his version of the golden rule wouldn't be the golden rule though as much as it is classic mutual exchange, and even that would be generous to say, not just because of the fact that Healthcare, both in its public and privatized forms (with all forms having their respective issues, since they're all made to equalize people), is a contract, everything being implied in the beginning and established to work how it does for each client (challenging the assertion it's the scam people make it out to be, especially as it abides by the law which in our age is hard on scams), but also because he had a whole list of targets as a part of the evidence against him, with the one victim being a minor cog in his own machine, however ethically questionable he or UnitedHealth have been, going to show how premature and generalized the sympathy is towards him.
