I wouldn't call it violence, I would call it a justified use of force.
I made a large collection of screenshots from Facebook of people who had their claims denied by United Healthcare today if you want to really see violence.

Haiii helloo I'm a bit OOTL and I don't live in the States.
I hear this CFO got killed and that the health insurance company was exceptionally awful. But I don't understand the time limit on anesthesia part. What time limits? What's that about? Like "you only get anesthesia for the first day you're hospitalized" time limits?
They were considering putting a time limit on the anesthesia they would pay for during procedures. Have a complication and the surgery runs long? Guess you're going to be in intense pain.
More like you will be on the hook for the anesthesia bill.
What is an extra several thousand dollars when you are already paying through the nose for insurance.
I bet they would make even more money if they just took your money and refused to ever pay out.

You got new CEO written all over you. We're also hiring.
Nice try UnitedHealthcare.

You know how in many industries there is a standard amount of time something takes and that determines the standard cost? Like it takes .5 work hours to change your oil so they charge .5 of labor + cost? Well, as I understand it, the plan was to limit the amount of anesthesia they'd cover based on the standard/expected time a medical procedure would take.
"In other words, if a procedure takes longer than expected, patients may wake up to an unexpected bill." https://www.prevention.com/health/a63104965/blue-cross-blue-shield-anthem-insurance-anesthesia-time-limit/
They proposed only paying for a certain amount of anesthesia during surgery, ie you are getting a kidney transplant you only get 45 min of anesthesia the rest wouldn't be covered.

Aggressive negotiations
Violence is what bought Americans every right we have. Violence is always the answer to solve unjust systems.
I'm not saying to track down do what this guy did to huge multi-hundred-billion dollar CEOs, but it's hard to say that it doesn't work.

Only in Connecticut
I mean history is ambiguous about it, but it usually tends to be more bad than good. Usually.
