Seems like its the other way around on here. Honestly, the insurance system should just change to universal health care and if wealthy people aren't content they could just buy an extra insurance on top or pay themselves while still contributing to public health. The system is at fault, not a replaceable CEO. Because while he might be replaceable for the company, he sure still had a family, friends and nothing will change now

If wealthy people aren't content, they can improve the system for everyone.

Perhaps, wishful thinking I know... But perhaps, this will give the next CEO some slight pause when considering screwing over millions of people for the financial gain of already rich people. PERHAPS, now that there's a tangible consequence for being a greedy murderous asshat, they'll think twice.... Probably not, but I can hope.

The "replaceable CEO" is part of the reason the system is broken in the first place.

Most humans and human work are inherently replaceable. Even great minds that have novel ideas. At some point someone else will come up with the same idea. Even US Presidents are. On a systematic level everyone is. I just wanted to highlight that the CEO, while head of operations of a company, is only lended this power and not really in charge. I think humans (not on a personal level) are inherently replaceable sadly but I don't think any system changes this
