This is a genuine question.

I have a hard time with this. My righteous side wants him to face an appropriate sentence, but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.

P.S. this topic is highly controversial and I want actual opinions so let’s be civil.

And if you’re a mod, delete this if the post is inappropriate or if it gets too heated.

      Is it though? The US still has the death penalty, and the person who commits those killings just gets paid and goes home.

      And none of those people of death row are responsible for even a small fraction of the evil private health insurers are capable of.

      Then he should of already faced the death penalty for the thousands (millions?) of deaths he caused.

        You can argue the morality of the situation all you like, but that circumstance doesn’t constitute murder. People in the military can kill thousands without legally being a murderer

      Think of it this way. Based on the fact that today far fewer claims are being denied. He might have already saved hundreds of lives.
