Trump. That's all I have to say.

condemned. Nobody would be cheering on social media. Maybe your countryfolk and mine simply have a different set of values...

... which treatments will be covered by the NHS and sometimes it's the case that, for example, children are denied potentially life-saving cancer treatment. It would be unthinkable that the decision-makers would be murdered, and if such an act were to happen it would be universally...

My final comment on this for reasons previously stated: I'm in the UK where we have a national health service which is free at the point of need. It's paid for centrally through taxation so it's a shared cost, but there is not an unlimited budget. Decisions are made centrally and locally about...

Well now you're coming over all Twitter. I'm not going to continue with this conversation any longer, unless you decide to revert to focusing on the issue at hand rather than attacking me for not sharing your opinion.

What an odd qurstion. I'm not quite sure what point you're trying to make. Of course it's not legal to push someone in the river knowing they couldn't swim. That would be murder.

... and yet they didn't shoot him. 🤷🏼‍♀️

... not individuals who have snapped - they are supposedly rational people who are posting in defence of murder, and that is indefensible.

There are at least two separate points here. We agree that the behaviour of the company (that'll be the entire board, and the government Americans elected) is entirely unacceptable. Does it justify murder? No. Is it surprising if individuals snap, probably not, no. But people commenting here are...

I don't live in that society, fortunately. It's not really any means of redress though, is it? The perpetrator will be caught, probably killed, and UH will carry on exactly as before, with a current board member likely taking on Thompson's salary.

No, that's the world *you* live in.

And you're exemplifying perfectly my view of the hilariously self-identifying "free world". Primitive.

Also, I think you've accidentally found yourself on the wrong platform.

They should probably choose better phrases than "he had it coming".

I agree, the denial rate and salary and salary are shocking and unacceptable but advocating murder to deal with it is a primitive approach. It's not how a civilised society works. Should the rest of the directors also be murdered? Should we do the same to heads of pharma companies, banks, etc?

The "leader of the free world", yet primitive in so many ways.

Yes, and I'll be sure to have my gun handy just in case my insurance claim is denied. 🙄

Ridiculous comment.

And being abusive is?

It's entirely possible to have a discussion and express different views without resorting to abuse. That doesn't belong on this platform.

Are you on the wrong platform?
