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.

The thing i have never understood about our horrible healthcare system is just how much every other industry just accepts it. You would think so the other capitalist would see this leech on society costing them additional billions in profit. But nope.
