I don't believe in murder but I understand the anger at health insurance companies. IBX was awful during Jim's illness & death. Here's my poem "Dr. No," which appears in my book The Year the City Emptied. It's "after" (very distantly) Baudelaire's "Le Jeu," about a courtesan at a gaming table.

Following the axing of the Gettysburg Review in a letter signed but the college's president & provost, I thought I'd post my academe version of one of Baudelaire's Spleens, the first line of which is more properly translated "I'm like the king of a rainy country..." (From The Year the City Emptied)
