    And rather than do anything about it they’ll go into hiding, hire security and up the premiums to pay for it all.

      If they could up the premiums any further, they already would have.

      Sure, the first execution may cause them to go into hiding and hire security, but if it happens a few more times they’re gonna start rethinking their policies, for their own health.

        Nah, like another commentor said they’ll just get fired for not being profit-driven enough for their investors.

        I don’t mind that it’ll likely cause their quality of life and general mental well-being to suffer, but we need to change the system as a whole.

      If they did anything that would negatively effect profit they’d be removed by the Board and be subsequently unhirable. They’d have to martyr themselves for the proliteriat. They can’t wisely invest into such sacrifice unless they’ve confidence in the prolitariat’s ideological commitment.

      It’s ours to lead, theirs to follow.

          Abolishing them is akin to abolishing capitalism itself. I’m all good with that.

          We should also be aware that removing nearly all precedent for corporate personhood would heavily limit the negative consequences of their existence.

      No need, they will simply increase the denial rate to 100% - problem solved!

    We should all right now go to the leadership pages of all the major insurers. If there were a sudden spike in traffic on these pages it would be noticed. Nothing wrong with putting a little worry in their lives.

    What do they expect this to accomplish exactly?

    Also, typical to go run and hide instead of stop killing people with claim denials.
