Re “Fear grips health insurance industry” (Business, Dec. 13): I can understand the anger at insurance companies that deny necessary health services and medications, but murder is definitely not the solution. I am appalled and embarrassed that so many people are cheering the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and making the suspect in his fatal shooting into a folk hero. It makes it seem as if it’s OK to take out one’s grievances by killing. It’s a slippery slope, and it looks like some would like to return to the Wild West. This is not the way to spur a debate about the health care system.
