A properly ordered society allows people to stop paying for services when no longer wanted.

employees aren't services, they're employees.
This libertarian fantasy where you can do as you please, pretending your company is a person and your employees are furniture might be what you think is a "properly ordered society".
But guess what? , most of us don't, and it's a common view across both the left and the right :-). It's same reason most people left and right didn't really care when some guy that denied people their health insurance got denied himself.

If you are talking about the murder of an innocent man, I hope we can both agree that this was an act of pure evil, regardless of what his job was.

If the allegations about the suspect are true it was an act of someone in pain denied access to healthcare.
Like the case of Kirk or Ian Watkins, nobody should be killed but i won't lose sleep.

I consider that a depraved indifference to the murder of innocents.

It was an act of evil, but it was also utterly predictable.
Man downplays school shootings for years, and then dies in school shooting. It's poetic, really.
His very own opponents warned him of the very thing that would kill him. And he made it his life mission not to listen.
Yeah but you live in a society, not a world of 8.1 billion sovereigns.
