No, they're not a regular person.

Their decisions, as a Chief Executive Officer in a national healthcare company, have the power to ruin lives on a systematic level. Their abuse of their social role results in adverse health outcomes, financial debt, poverty and resulting starvation of families on a scale of millions. And they have willingly and knowingly done this for the sake of profit, for greed. Whether what they do is legal or not is completely irrelevant in the real world, whether they are directly violent or legally coercive doesn't change the reality, the bottom line is their actions have the same kind of health and financial effects as a violent thug robbing innocent victims, except on a scale of millions. That is systematic oppression.

Can you do that to people? Not even a disgusting school shooter does as much damage as this CEO does each month. They are not a regular person. They mass murder people, indirectly and legally.
