if there were justice in america if justice truly existed in america, you would not have faced a reckoning in deathyou would have faced it in court. your tenure at united healthcare, marked by policies and practices that systematically prioritized profits over human lives, bears all the hallmarks of organized crime. in a just system, you would have been charged under the racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations (rico) act, just as a mafia boss who never pulls the trigger is held accountable for the crimes of their organization. like a crime syndicate, the harm your corporation inflicted was not committed by your own hands but through a network of deliberate policies and enforcers at every level of your organization. while you did not personally deny care to a single patient or send a family into bankruptcy, you designed and upheld the system that made such atrocities inevitable. this is no different than the mob boss who orders hits but claims to have clean hands. as mario puzo wrote in the godfather, a lawyer with his briefcase can steal more than a hundred men with guns. you, mr. thompson, wielded your executive position in much the same waya tool of oppression, exploitation, and systemic harm that devastated lives while shielding you from accountability. had our justice system served the people rather than the powerful, you would have stood trial as the head of this corrupt organization. but in america, where wealth too often grants immunity, your crimes went unpunished. your death, though tragic, fills the void left by a justice system that failed to hold you accountable.
