    What makes someone “criminal” as a quality? Breaking the law? Killing people? Are all health insurance workers criminals too?

      Commiting a crime makes you a criminal, so if you break a law you are a criminal. And if the decisions of health insurance workers are also breaking laws they are criminals too.

        Then if you have ever gone faster than the speed limit, you are a criminal. That makes most people in the developed world criminals.

        That aside, the point is that naming someone a criminal has moralistic baggage, and by saying that anyone that breaks laws is a criminal thus immoral, you imply all laws are inherently moral.
