This dude shot and killed a health insurance CEO. After about a day, insurers stopped denying coverage arbitrarily to people. The longer-term effects have not yet been seen, but I expect more to follow.
There’s a lot of did ways the situation could develop positively that doesn’t involve more assassinations. Most likely, the industry pushes for legislation that disallows some of the scumier practices while allowing the bleed to continue.
Captured oligarch media keeps trying horribly to spin this. Eventually, shooter gets caught. Everyone who gets their info solely from mainstream sources will think the shooter a villain. Somehow they find a jury of stooges. Dude gets slapped with the hardest sentencing imaginable but not put to death. The orphan crushing machine pitters on.
I mean either way I am inspired as fucc from this act. People really do hold the power. No amount of money or lobbying in the world will unshoot Brian Thompson.

The second part isn’t anywhere close to true. You’re going to need a lot more dead CEOs for that to happen.
