1. Killing this CEO is going to do nothing to change the industry. All the gunman did was ruin his own life (enjoy life in prison bud) and leave some kids without a dad.

2. People are dumb, and think anyone with more money is “the rich”. If you support killing “a CEO”, where do you draw the line? Minimum salary? Home value greater than X? If you feel that the local ice cream shop is charging too much and the CEO lives in a gated community, is that enough to warrant his death?

I can’t believe you actually thought you were making a valid point as you typed this.

He wasn’t just a cog. He was at the helm of a company that was using technology and third party contracts to maximize company value which resulted in a cloak denial rate well behind the industry standard. There are real humans on the other side of those claims who were harmed and may have died because of this. His actions as a leader were completely depraved. And on top of that he was engaging in inside trading because he just had to become even richer at the expense of others.

Acting like he was some tiny cog is disingenuous. Luigi didn’t kill some random claims processor.

Where does it end? Is it just the CEO or what about the EVP or the medical director or people like us who are shareholders and take the money in dividends and soaring stock prices?

But what will happen to regular people like us, asks the insurance company flack.

I don't support any murder, but am appalled at how serious the charges are and the optics on this case versus the mass school shooters.

This dude killed one CEO while we have people murdering rooms full of kids. Why do they care so much about this one guy?

So not surprising people are desensitized and don't care about a CEO being shot. People being shot is just everyday America.

Of course! This is a NY jury. Sandy Hook kids were slaughtered and we all lost family and friends during 9/11. No one's out for blood with Luigi. He should do some time but the terrorism charge with a puffed up Adams pissed people off.

Some time? Pre-meditated murder should be life in prison.

I guess the argument is that these companies and their leaders are ok with killing people for the sake of profit. I guess you don’t get much respect when you earn your living that way.

How does that make everyone shrug off Brian Thompson being gunned down on the street. Vigilante justice is OK when lots of people agree on it, but not OK when public opinion is mostly opposed ... Who gets to decide, under what circumstances. We cannot move forward like this.

The norms of the past are out the window. The internet, globalism, and Trump’s erosion of civility, decency and honor are all factors. One lesson of his success is that if you want something you need to grab it first and worry about the ramifications later. This shooter guy didn’t do very well with the ramifications.

We don’t know the full results of his actions yet…

In case you haven’t realized the world is going to hell in a hand basket - Putin, Iran, China, n Korea, parts of EU and LatAm, Trump coming in.

Revamping a super complex healthcare system of insurers, health providers, aid and no aid patients, tech billing, and general infrastructure isn’t on the top 50 list.

Plus it’s still reeling from, and now seeing the negative externalities and distortions, Obamacare ACA and value based care. Which is basically a land and subsidy grab, even for “health tech” venture firms.

Did you know the federal government will pay you to recruit and run a little company who recruits people to go onto ACA plan and do preventative care visits? This was a venture deal we saw. Went under after a few years. Never scaled either. Paying people to escort you to the doctor X times a year didn’t work.

And WaPo columnist Taylor Lorenz said the murder “feels like victory.”

I am shocked at these views. So I have to ask the obvious here:

- do you support murdering CEOs, as others apparently do?

I can’t even believe this is a serious question. What have we come to?

Agree. Is it as bad as it was in 2006?

Too bad this is anonymous. Feds can track or shutdown

Just like in emerging markets! Everyone for himself.
