This health insurance CEO is murdered on the street on Sixth Avenue in New York a couple of weeks ago. And the reaction to it is not what I expected. You know, 41% of younger people say they support the murderer. And on the one hand, you think, well, you know, clearly there's a spiritual crisis in the country. That's nihilism. There's no defending murdering a guy, any guy, in my opinion.
However, it also reveals, so I'm not in any sense justifying it. I think it's appalling. But there's a lot of latent hostility toward the insurance companies. And I want to understand that more. I mean, I hate them, but I don't really know why I hate them.
Yeah. I mean, what happened is terrible. It's terrible and it's tragic. And I mean, obviously, I never condone violence and the loss of human life is a tragedy. Right. But so is the loss of 1.7 million Americans a year to chronic disease. Yes. You know, they're profiteering off the disease. They're delaying people's ability to get coverage and care.
And there's a lot of money being made through these dark pathways and approaches to these insurance companies and the revenues that they generate. It's all become a profit-driven system. And when I testified in front of the Senate with Bobby Kennedy and the Maha Group, you know, my main message was,
the corporate capture of our institutions and how that is the real cause of the chronic disease crisis that we're facing. And candidly, the insurance companies aren't only implicitly involved, they are probably one of the major contributors that somehow have gone unnoticed for decades.

I'm trying to understand it.
So the profit motive is designed to improve the quality of goods and services. That's what we've been taught. So in other words, if I pay more for a hotel, if I stay at the Four Seasons instead of Motel 6, I get a nicer room. If I pay more for a car, I get a nicer car. We pay more for healthcare than any country in the world, but we have crappy healthcare. Yeah.
