No.... also for who he was. As the CEO of that company, he is directly responsible for the deaths and financial hardships of many who depended on and paid his company to provide protection and relief from those things. And he did that not just through ineptitude or negligence but through willful action that prioritized his bottom line over human life. Fuck him.
The thing is though, he is merely a symptom of a sociopathic society, economic, and political system. UH under his leadership may be the most egregious example in US healthcare, but the fact remains that the current system rewards psychopathy and narcissism with wealth and power. There is an endless supply of criminally corrupt scabs just like him that will step up to take his place for a chance at being the slave master.
Greed, exploitation, extortion, fraud, theft, corruption, murder, terrorism, authoritarianism, ecocide, genocide; all of these are rewarded or condoned on some level by our "democracies" as long as you do it behind the shield of an LLC, in the name of profit.
We are on a rock floating in the middle of nowhere, that took billions of years to materialize a biosphere out of nothing, in a cold and desolate universe, and the system we have chosen is aggressively annihilating it all in the blink of an eye. We are a cancer that is killing our host.
THE WORLD HUMANITY HAS BUILT — THE REALITY WE ACCEPT — IS PSYCHOTIC!

Sure. He had agency though. As did his killer.
