"A suspect was charged with murder on Monday in the assassination of the chief executive of UnitedHealthcare in Midtown Manhattan, hours after he was apprehended in Pennsylvania.

Luigi Mangione, 26, has been charged in Manhattan with second-degree murder, according to online court records. He is also charged with three gun charges and forgery.

Earlier on Monday, Mr. Mangione was detained at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa., by police officers who were responding to a tip from an employee. He was sitting alone with a laptop and backpack and wearing a medical mask, according to the complaint. One officer asked him to pull down the mask and immediately recognized him as the person being sought."

I've been a medical biller for over twenty years. It's become a non-stop fight with insurance companies for years. The excuses they come up with are ridiculous and unjustified. I've heard an oncology dr. yelling at them for denying his patients treatment. It's heartbreaking for the patients. After being stressed and having headaches every day, I end up retiring early.

When will insurance companies be charged with murder?

[mariabetancourt]

United healthcare denied my 100 yr old dad a home health aide. I had to fight to get him some help

[thsealord]

Tracking down Mangione will be NOTHING compared to trying to assemble a jury for his trial.

[bobmarshall]

30 days of community service and a $50 fine.

[Name-rzup]

Millions died and suffered because of this ceo.

[hamfistsman]

These wealthy elites don't have any empathy for you. They despise you.

[mariabetancourt]

My neighbor at 49 died because her insurance denied her dialysis after her hospital made her died because of that

[Casual_BackPacking]

Change doesnt happen with flowers and words, that man luigi did what he had to do to get health care

[CaptainPocket]

68, 000 people dead per year vs. One ceo who is part of the causation are not two equal things. One is at least 68, ooo times worse.

I just checked my Health Insurance policy and empathy and sympathy are currently out of network and are not covered. At least of 32% of empathetic and sympathetic claims are denied. However, the CEO's are paid over $10, 000, 000 a year to deny people coverage. Therefore, your claim for sympathy is denied.

When you privatize a public service, down goes the service. Up goes the cost.

[collinsfriend]

It reflects the narcissism of the insurance industry and 1% that they are shocked that we are NOT sad and sympathetic.

[dasikakn]

This is such a good summary of what happened here. I especially think the point is excellent about how the crimes the billionaires commit are either made legal through lobbying or procedurally swept under the rug.

[BionicDance]

This is basically The Trolley Problem; Luigi "pulled the switch" to save thousands at the cost of _one_ money-grubbing shit-bag.
I mean, I have to ask... _HOW ELSE_ was Brian Thompson supposed to be stopped...? By the system, by the government?
_Grow up._

[rosemullen-rw]

Seems like this is the only way to get people to pay attention to a very important problem in the health insurance industry!

[williamdusseau]

Message to the 1%: Capitalizing on pain & suffering has consequences.

[victorbeauvois]

We know the REASON why our country is the RICHEST country in the world millions of us AMERICANS are denied basic health care it SUCKS
