Do you imagine that everyone posting things like this just hasn't thought it through, or that they believe killing that CEO will save any specific person?
If so, I think you've misunderstood something quite fundamental. The overwhelming majority who are celebrating this assassination are doing so because they hate that CEO and everything he stood for.
You don't get to brush them off as idiots for failing to realise something you consider obvious when you're the one who seems to be missing the point.
Beside which, if you interpret this business with the other insurer suddenly cancelling their plans to limit what they'll pay for anesthesia as suddenly fear of reprisal then this assassination will absolutely save lives in the long run, and save others from life-long financial ruin
Thank you for actually having a point that relates to the trolley problem.
