    Wow, I really feel like I should be clutching my pearls over the fact that this is what it’s come to.

    On the other hand…

    Just like cops, these folks have earned every bit of hatred coming to them from the public. Even now they continue to pad their own bank account at a staggering rate on the deaths and misery of their fellow man.

    If I were a healthcare executive with a conscience (lol I know), or even a healthcare executive with an adequate fear response, I’d resign tomorrow. (Or maybe yesterday?) I guarantee any of these folks has enough wealth to exceed the typical US lifestyle for the rest of their natural lives without having to take any more money for denying care to their fellow citizens. They can pack their shit, never work another day, and still spend the rest of their lives with less stress and greater financial security than my family ever will. There’s literally nothing stopping them.

    And if their “Type A” personality just can’t let them spend multiple decades of their lives just relaxing with their family and enriching their inner self, they have a great resume to get a job at an industry that doesn’t profit from the death and pain of their fellow citizens.
