> It’s a religious drive if you believe that a CEO should be the sacrificial lamb for the systems politicians have set up. The system wasn’t set up by accident but at the specific behest of the affected companies. When the prospect of Medicare for all was being discussed a decade and a half ago, look at where all of the money decrying it as socialism came from, and who was funding the politicians talking about things like “death panels”. That proposal was estimated to cut U.S. healthcare costs almost in half, which sounds great as a consumer but represents hundreds of billions annually which is not generating profits for the insurance industry and large providers. The exact same story played out in 1993 when President Clinton tried to pass healthcare reform, down to the year-long advertising campaign featuring actors pretending to be normal people concerned about bureaucracy which only made sense in a parallel universe where people weren’t having even worse experiences with private bureaucrats every day.
