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.

Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations. In a message on his Telegram channel recently recounting the episode, Durov wrote: "I lost my company and my home, but would do it again – without hesitation." In December 2021, Sebi officials had conducted a search and seizure operation at the premises of certain persons carrying out similar manipulative activities through Telegram channels. Groups are also not fully encrypted, end-to-end. This includes private groups. Private groups cannot be seen by other Telegram users, but Telegram itself can see the groups and all of the communications that you have in them. All of the same risks and warnings about channels can be applied to groups. Channels are not fully encrypted, end-to-end. All communications on a Telegram channel can be seen by anyone on the channel and are also visible to Telegram. Telegram may be asked by a government to hand over the communications from a channel. Telegram has a history of standing up to Russian government requests for data, but how comfortable you are relying on that history to predict future behavior is up to you. Because Telegram has this data, it may also be stolen by hackers or leaked by an internal employee.
