It's not that easy though, is United Healthcare now stopping what they do because that douche died?

No, they haven't. People are also spreading misinformation that Blue Cross changed their policy even though they announced the change the month before the shooting happened.

The sample size is too low to give an accurate result.

It stopped Blue Cross from restricting how long they’ll pay for anesthetic.

Actually, Blue Cross announced that in September, before the killing. They also stopped suing and placing liens over medical debts in 2020.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

That would be surprising because they announced it before the killing even happened.

That's why we do what France did in the 1700s. One billionaire dead won't send a message, but one dead every month for the foreseeable future will.
