The cold-blooded assassination of a health care CEO has uncorked a torrent of public anger at the health insurance industry. Should the ugliness of that fact make Americans bottle the anger back up?

Government comes in and says it's illegal to drop your insurance. Also here's a massive regulatory wall to prevent competition. CEO of the company who has no competition and legally can't lose customers acts exactly like you'd expect in that situation.
If you want to fix the health care, you don't shoot the CEO, you dismantle the government.
Instead, the government will see this outrage and likely add more regulations to make the public happy, thereby making the problem even worse.

Yeah I get what you're saying. Too many rules can mess with competition and make things worse. We need a better balance not just more regulations.

I don’t think the public will get more happy with more regulations, we are on to that scam.

That is an easy answer: fascism by its original definition. It is the joining of companies and government into a monolithic whole.

Health is too important to leave in the hands of private companies. Many countries understand such a basic thing and more and more people in the US seen to be learning it.
