Thinking about Cory Doctorow's story "Radicalised".
It is a short story about Americans who decide to wage domestic terrorism on the Health Insurance industry, and the consequences of those actions.

1. “If you work for a health insurance company, or their lobbyists, or a senator or congressman who votes against health care for everyone, 1 want you to be afraid. Scared to leave home. Too scared to sleep. I want you lying awake at night, feeling a rush of fear every time you hear a creak. I want you to have a concealed carry permit, a shotgun by the bed, and still find yourself wondering every morning whether today’s going to be the day. “If you can’t take that, quit your job. Tell your boss you didn’t sign up to get blown to pieces by some grief-crazed suicide bomber. Eventually, those insurance executives and lobbyists and politicians will have to move on to Plan B. Which is health care for everyone.

2. DO IT [wrote one of the Great Old Ones]. Seriously do it. I'm going to do it, some day, when I'm all used up. Why shouldn’t you? Why should those evil corporate fucks live when my wife is dead? When your kid is going to die? I was going to buy an AR-15 and do it but fuck that. AR-15s are for people who want to shoot their way out, or people who need to shoot their way in. I don’t need to do that. I'm an old, middle-class white guy. I could walk right in, go right up to the top floor with a nice little fertilizer bomb and take out the whole fucking C-suite. Some “innocents” will die but they're not all that innocent, are they?
