It saves many people by switching

in fact, it probably even saves many people if switching is a reasonable threat.

Yes, I think the cartoonist missed big on that one. CEO/policy choices kill many, many people. The insurance company form of Bureaucratic Murder.

It doesn't automatically save anyone. The CEO isn't personally murdering anyone. Their policies don't go away. The health care industry isn't magically made better by one CEOs death. It leads to a slight chance of health care reform as the comic states. But we actually have to do more to get that outcome.

You’re right, probably more needs to die for real change
