A competing viewpoint is that our health insurance system is fine and that denying people coverage and either saddling them with debt or causing their deaths is also fine. Those are people who haven’t yet had to deal with a claim getting rejected. But over time they will.
Most people are fine with a little institutionalized corruption but when essential services like healthcare stop functioning they’re going to get very angry. It’s not so much vigilante justice as it is an insurrection against bad governance.
