The problem persist despite the incident. Maybe this is the beginning of a sea change for healthcare in the US, but so far, it’s a single ring wave in the pond.

not really, they turned back on their anesthesia claims, people have been getting their requests approved.

If they start going back on it, I'm sure another CEO shooting will clear that right up for them again.

I hope you're willing to volunteer yourself to go to prison for murder along with dealing with the fact you took a human's life. Because this single incident isn't going to lead to long term change. Or are you fine to just sit back while insisting others do what you won't?

All it really takes is one person with a now terminal illness that has previously been denied lifesaving healthcare to decide they want to take someone with them on the way down. I'm sure there are quite a few people in the US in that situation.
