"We know the health system does not work as well as it should," Witty admitted. "No one would design a system like the one we have. And no one did. It's a patchwork built over decades. Our mission is to help make it work better."
While at times, Witty seemed sympathetic to the American people's pain, aggravation, and for some, sense of hopelessness, he also pressed that the system is 'filled with people who try to do their best' for the country.
Not everyone agreed with the assertion that Thompson was a decent individual, or, especially, that healthcare companies are truthfully striving to do better. It's unsurprising, given that this week, the public has expressed an outpouring of admiration, even sympathy, for the suspected murderer.
The reaction to the op-ed was swift and brimming with emotion. While some came to the comments to criticize those who are defending an alleged murderer, many criticized healthcare companies as being purely profit-driven.
