In context

There is no single regulator for a private health-insurance company, even when it is found to be violating the law. For United's practices to be curbed, mental-health advocates told ProPublica, every single jurisdiction in which it operates would have to successfully bring a case against it. Thompson's murder is one symptom of the American appetite for violence; his line of work is another.

All those billions and they’re denying people meds or operations? Then the author has the audacity to ask where people’s humanity is? Where was the humanity when UHC was denying people medication or life saving operations? Heaven help us as “humans”.
