    Absolutely. The entire article makes it clear that they don’t even have an inkling of what it’s like to have to worry about your health or how much money you have.

      It would be hilarious if there were a law requiring healthcare CEOs to use the lowest tier health plan of a competitor which denies the most claims and bar them from self-financing any procedures while legally requiring them to use the same customer support as everyone else. They would face jail time if they accept preferential treatment on account of them being a healthcare CEO.

      For other CEOs there would need to be a different approach. They would be given a choice: pay the full amount they owe in federal taxes or personally finance the room and board, food and necessities, healthcare including mental health, substance abuse treatment and dental for homeless people until the amount paid is two thirds of what they would otherwise pay the IRS.
