…has brought out into the open how much people hate health insurance companies, many of which are extremely predatory and exploitative.  The Facebook post announcing the CEO's death (murder) has some 50,000 "laugh" emojis on it.  That's pretty gross, of course, but it is also telling about how deeply people resent being denied coverage for their medical problems, which is what insurers do a lot (UnitedHealth has a particularly bad reputation).   The immediate effect of this assassination will be an increase in security for CEOs but perhaps it will even have an effect on the public discourse about healthcare in the benighted states of America.

UPDATE:  Wow!
