It’s really not. Drug dealers get shot by rival drug dealers because it’s an illegal industry, and so violence is the only way to resolve disputes because you can’t go to the police, government, or courts if a rival drug dealer wrongs you in some way. There is nothing illegal about running a health insurance company, and no serious person thinks that the issues in American healthcare are caused by the personal faults of the individual people who happen to run our largest health insurance companies.
