Health Care Stockholders Support and Profit On "Contract Killing" of the Sick- Rescission
"Contract killing is a form of assassination, in which one party hires another party to kill a target individual or group of people for money.
It involves an illegal agreement between two parties in which one party agrees to kill the target in exchange for consideration, monetary or otherwise. In the case of owning Health Care stocks, it's not illegal but certainly immoral.
The hiring party may be a single person, a group of people, a company, or any other kind of organization. The hired party may also be one person, such as a hitman, or a group of people, or an organization."

"In 2009, during the national debate over U.S. health care reform, rescission became popularly understood as a process by which insurance companies canceled a policyholder's insurance, sometimes after the patient was diagnosed with an expensive-to-treat illness, sometimes by claiming that the patient previously withheld information about their medical condition."

Health care shareholders profit by their companies cutting the sick from their insurance rolls. Many of these people die because they can't receive treatment for illnesses they thought they were covered for.
Is it right to support this practice? Some must think so, They invest in Cigna, Aetna, and other HC Corporations that do exactly that.
What's the difference- owning stock in the HC business that does rescission or hiring someone to kill someone directly? Directly or by proxy? There's guilt either way. And blood on the shareholder's hands.
When Apartheid was going on in South Africa, many withdrew their support from companies that profited and did business off the suffering of those in S.Africa.
Profiting off the suffering of another is immoral. Shareholders of Health Care Companies are supporting their company's immoral acts and practices.
How's it feel to know you've profited from sick people losing their insurance?
