So did anyones live get saved by his action? Was anyone immediately in danger? Or was ist just retaliation to satisfy his personal feelings of unjustice? He did not fix the broken system, and nobody doing this will. Everyone deserves a just process, because that is what makes a stable society.

Within 3 days of the incident, and the groundswell of people not buying the media's attempt to make people feel sorry for the piece of shit CEO who made money off the suffering of his countrymen, reversed a new policy where they were going to only cover part of the cost of anesthetic if the procedure "took too long". A policy that would increase mistakes made during surgery or babysitting more people for no reason other than greed.

So yes. It helped millions. Pretty much Immediately. Is everything fixed? No. Was intentional harm reduced? Slightly.

Yes actually. Insurance companies across the board suddenly started approving claims at a noticeably higher rate immediately after. A large enough increase that it was immediately felt by consumers and the media even covered the change. Thousands of lives were demonstrably improved by not having to deal with bullshit fights over claims being systematically denied by default like they had been.
