It’s terrible that people are dying over insurance. It’s very likely the person who replaces him is going to be the same or worse.

Europeans of a certain age will remember the assassination of Siegfried Buback, the German Federal Prosecutor at the height of Red Army Faction political terrorism. There was a pamphlet in left-wing 'zine, where the "Göttinger Mescalero" wrote about his "well-concealed joy" at receiving the news. The press was not amused.

But here - everyone seems to be amused that the fellow is dead. Doesn't bide well for social cohesiveness.

Bodes fine for social cohesiveness. Only people for who it doesn't bode well are those that knowingly go out of their way to go above and beyond trying to kill people via denying them necessities like medical care.

Now... Once that gets sorted, what'll be the next problem this type of thing gets applied to? Who knows? Message hopefully received either way. Either way, somebody is getting what they deserve.

I’m not advocating the assassination of CEOs or board members, but in the back of my mind I’ve always wondered why it doesn’t happen regularly. People on both sides of the political spectrum have a deep hatred for the corporate/financial elite.
If it happens regularly we'll see private armies to protect the corpos. Deus Ex: HR's 2027 "prediction" of that dystopia could still come true.
This is a better worded version of what I was trying to say.
