How many people in the claims adjudication call center are making ~5 times the median American male's lifetime earnings each year, every year?

What's the income threshold for people who are eligible for murder? Surely the whole board and the C-Suite. Senior VPs? VPs?

Most of those people are making several multiples the average Indian's lifetime earnings. Should those call center folks pay for the Indians' healthcare?

Responsibility for the actions of a company should be somewhat proportional to the amount of profit derived from said activities.

So if you kill people but you only make $30K a year then no big deal. But if they 100x your salary now you're a real bad guy. That can't be right.

That's the scary part. It's very tempting to just sentence someone like this. But more you dwell on it, the worst it gets. There is a reason why death penalty is considered an extreme.

The entire argument for high CEO renumeration is that they take on total responsibility for all actions of the company. The buck stops with them. So, why do we think it's acceptable for that not to be the case when the company does something bad?

Thats a good argument in a vacuum. But the world has determined "I was just following orders" is not a good defense.

We know the crimes against humanity are bad and subordinates are guilty if they do them. We don;t just let everyone off free except the head of state.

Not to see that united healtcare (as bad as they are) are anywhere near that, but I am saying that its clear that we, as a society, already hold all people complicit in evil as guilty. Not just the person at the top.
