I think you're right. The prospect of being rewarded may have been enough to push them to giving up Luigi.

After the authorities apprehend him, there's every chance that they'll delay, deny, defend against giving out any kind of reward to anyone for their help in finding him.

I'm sure if FBI or NYPD will deny her claims UHC will jump in and approve the full amount and a bit more. It's a premium health insurance for Thompsons co-CEOs.

That's a trait of mine, to look at situations from different perspectives, not just mine, or what "I would do" or what I want to see happen.

I'm a long time observer of people, and the most fascinating thing to try to understand is why. It's impossible to know someone's true motivations for doing something but most of the time you can reach a pretty good guess if you have enough of a picture of what's going on with them.

I don't mind downvotes. I don't hate what Luigi did, and I appreciate that he probably didn't feel like he had another course of action, at the same time, I try to understand and be sympathetic regarding anyone else Luigi may have come into contact with.

We're all living a life, everyone's life is a complex, interconnected mess of happenstance.

The system itself must regard itself as fair, therefore if there is a clear and present violation of the law, they must enforce the punishment for that violation.

The problem is that the crimes if these healthcare CEOs, are indirect. They sign into policy that people should be denied coverage based on bullshit. This leads to damages in the form of unemployment (hard to work when you're sick constantly), pain, suffering, and death.

Since their actions didn't immediately and directly kill the person, only by their inaction, or their refusal to act, did the person then succumb to their illness, there isn't a clear violation of the law. It's still there, it's just not super clear. Since the burdon of proof is on the accuser, and the accused is "innocent until proven guilty" under the law, and these policies that get people killed are not public documents, and therefore difficult to acquire in a way that's "admissible in court", there's a steep and stark uphill climb to meet that burdon of proof required to properly prosecute these jerkwads.

Fact of the matter is, families wronged by insurance assholes generally don't have the funds to support a long legal battle to first obtain, then submit the required evidence, and then see the case all the way through to the end against highly paid legal teams representing the insurance companies. If anyone in that position had enough money to do that, they would have long spent the money required on healing their family members before the idea of a case materializes.

What I'm saying is, only the rich assholes have the resources to fight, and because they're rich assholes, they'll never end up in a situation where they would need to fight.

Therefore, nothing will be done because nobody with the resources to do something will do anything, nor would they have reason to do anything. So the only recourse is.... Well... Exactly what happened. You can try peaceful protests and trying to push legislation, but bluntly, it would take so long to get done, if it ever got done, that anyone you hoped to help with the changes, would be long dead by the time the legislation is put in place. Bearing in mind that everyone in government would be against you on it. They're all rich assholes that either profit directly from health insurance being broken, or they know someone who benefits from it. So the chances aren't good.

What happened, especially if it becomes more of a trend, the single act that Luigi took... If people follow in those footsteps, changes will happen, and quickly, because above all, these jackoffs don't want to die. They want you to die for their profit margins to go up, but they don't want to die. Making death a real and credible risk from literally any stranger they meet on the street, will inspire them to make changes that minimize that risk. Fat lot of good the Justice system is to a corpse. Good for the family, sure, but the corpse isn't going to be any less dead after the prosecution rests.

If this becomes a very real and credible threat to their survival, one that could come from anywhere at any time, without warning.... They'll get the message really fucking fast.

IMO, we only need it to happen once more, to get there.

I think those cover illness and accidents
