Pay attention to "might". The difference between health insurance and pharma is academic when hate-mongers are asserting authority.

That can be applied to anything, including tech. I don't think bringing in extremes, improves the conversation.

I seem to remember a guy living in a cabin, writing manifestos, and mailing bombs to tech people and academics.

So someone who has suffered incurable harm and damage at the hands of health insurers is a "hate monger" while the health insurance executive prioritising their company profits over human health is just a normal person doing their normal job?

If that's true then that value system is entirely messed up and needs to be burned to the ground and rebuilt.
