What tone should I have used other than the deceased’s own?

“You are only using and exploiting us to line your pocket with the common citizen's money for overcharged healthcare. You don't care about anyone because you have a narcissistic personality.”

OP edited post with letter terrible article was lacking and tonal change, but hey keep pitchforking

Perhaps one that isnt so dismissive of the entire situation. Or at least doesn't package it in such a way as to make it easy to sweep under the rug.

You may not see it that way but many will, never reading this far. Be an ally, not a hindrance.

I didn’t edit my post. I put the letter in my original comment 5 minutes after posting so what OP did is irrelevant. The letter has been there for anyone to read since I posted my original comment.

No one is making anything easy to sweep under the rug. The root cause of her complaint, in her own words, is that the system that takes advantage for her for a profit is the one that led to her death.

You don’t have to be dishonest. Read what she said in her own words.
