He wasn't killing people until he was off the meds.US is the only industrialized country without a universal healthcare system.
Funny thing is I have lived overseas for well over a decade in different countries and I have never come across an American who missed the US healthcare system - indeed most of them never want to return because they keep more money in their pockets and they get better health care on top. I have never seen people protesting in Canada or Australia to give up their healthcare for the US system.
As a Canadian - I can choose my own doctor - I can also pay for private doctors if I want to. It is single-payer not socialized. You won't see that on Fox News mind you. Single-payer means the Doctor and you decide on your treatment - the doctor sends the bill to the government and the government says - they do NOT make a decision on your health. No HMO in the US telling you what operation or what hospital you are allowed to go to (freedom? How is it free if an HMO controls your life!
Sometimes it's good to get out and live in other parts of the world to see stuff in action rather than just rely on news reports trying to convince you that a bad deal is a good deal.
As illustrated here. It's frustrating because my American friends are getting screwed with their pants on for the disgusting profits of some oligarchs and ethically bankrupt politicians.And hey Batman and the Penguin and Mr. Freeze are in the video too - :)
