Well obviously they wouldn’t have to worry if they stopped putting profits over people and gave people good service and fair coverage.

So of course, they’re now demanding we pay them more via state-funded private security to protect them from further violence.

A for-profit business must put profits over people. That's why health care must never be a for-profit business.

Huh, interesting. I wonder who is paying politicians to ensure this predatory behavior is never regulated in the healthcare industry.

Could it be the executives whose primary compensation consists of company stock, which only gains value as they continue to systematically murder people by denying necessary medical care coverage? I wonder.

Ha ha, I don't think you really wonder. (:
