A means of furthering division? I've seen nothing but barely-constrained glee from liberals, conservatives, progressives and MAGA folks. This seems to be one issue we can all agree on.

America does not want for-profit insurance interfering in their medical care. The insurance companies are do-nothing middle men who will stop at nothing (including mass murder by systematically denying medical care) to extract value for their shareholders. It's disgusting and morally corrupt - yet they have the government in their pocket and are effectively immune from the law. Hell, they largely make their own laws.

This event was America's reaction to the situation - things have gotten so hopeless that vigilante justice is widely seen as the only option.

The purpose of this attack was to normalize vigilante murder (and, as you say, the target was well chosen to achieve that). The division and societal breakdown come later when vigilante actions become more common.

If this is society then perhaps it should breakdown.
