Have people forgotten who prevented people in the US from getting actual healthcare?
I feel like I don't see it brought up enough - it was the healthcare companies and especially the insurance companies who prevented an actual free healthcare system from being implented. That's why the "ACA"/”Obamacare" system was introduced in the first place. A half-measure that barely improved the situation but ultimately meant a lot more money for insurance companies.
They lobbied against any sort of 'single payer' system and have been lobbying against 'medicare for all'. They're the reason why the US is behind every other developed country (and even some developing nations) when it comes to healthcare.
Guys like Brian Thompson didn't just deny people healthcare in a broken system, he actively prevented that system from getting any better.
Maybe people realised this already but I feel this just isn't brought up enough.
This is the primary issue with CEOs and other members of their class. This is why they cannot be reasoned with. At the end of the day they have a vested economic interest in maintaining an exploitative and murderous economic system.

"Markets were cheering this economic recovery and return to strong economic growth, but the cheers will turn to tears if the inflation outbreak pushes businesses and consumers to the brink of recession," he added. That hurt tech stocks. For the past few weeks, the 10-year yield has traded between 1.72% and 2%, as traders moved into the bond for safety when Russia headlines were ugly—and out of it when headlines improved. Now, the yield is touching its pandemic-era high. If the yield breaks above that level, that could signal that it’s on a sustainable path higher. Higher long-dated bond yields make future profits less valuable—and many tech companies are valued on the basis of profits forecast for many years in the future. On February 27th, Durov posted that Channels were becoming a source of unverified information and that the company lacks the ability to check on their veracity. He urged users to be mistrustful of the things shared on Channels, and initially threatened to block the feature in the countries involved for the length of the war, saying that he didn’t want Telegram to be used to aggravate conflict or incite ethnic hatred. He did, however, walk back this plan when it became clear that they had also become a vital communications tool for Ukrainian officials and citizens to help coordinate their resistance and evacuations. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 230 points, or 0.7%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.3% and 2.2%, respectively. All three indexes began the day with gains before selling off. As a result, the pandemic saw many newcomers to Telegram, including prominent anti-vaccine activists who used the app's hands-off approach to share false information on shots, a study from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue shows.
