... the boss of one gets murdered in the street, and the response from
USians (that I have seen online) tends to range from minor sadness to
downright indifference, and perhaps even to something approaching glee.

Saw reports on this on both TV news channels this evening, and neither has
made any mention of the popular response to this killing. Online I am
seeing stories of the sheer ruthlessness and greed with which US health
insurance companies have been treating their customers.

Let us just hope it never happens here.

The story has percolated into the local media:

Examples of these stories:

* Claim for birth of someone’s daughter was denied because she was not
named on the policy in effect at the time of her birth.
* An expensive surgical procedure approved by the insurer, undergone,
and then a bill received a month later in which it had been
retroactively unapproved.
