A new poll reveals that a majority of Americans believe that insurance practices, including coverage denials and profit-driven motives, played a role in the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Most Americans believe that medical insurance income and coverage denials are also responsible for the death of the CEO of United Health care (UHC), although not as much as the person who pulled the trigger, according to a new poll. In a poll conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago, approximately 8 out of 10 adults in the United States said the person who committed the murder has “a great deal” or “a moderate amount” of responsibility in the December 4 shooting of Brian Thompson.
Despite this, some have presented Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old suspect charged with Thompson's murder, as a heroic figure after his arrest, leading to an avalanche of complaints against insurance companies. Police say the words “delay”, “deny” and “depose” were scrawled on the ammunition investigators found at the scene, echoing a phrase commonly used to describe insurers' tactics to avoid paying claims. UnitedHealthcare has said that Mangione was not a customer. Approximately 7 out of 10 adults say that denials of medical care coverage by insurance companies, or the profits made by health insurance companies, also bear at least “a moderate amount” of responsibility for Thompson's death. Younger Americans are particularly likely to see the murder as the result of a confluence of forces rather than the action of a single person. The poll finds that the story of the murder is being widely followed. Approximately 7 out of 10 said they had heard or read “a lot” or “some” about Thompson's death. Responsibility was attributed to multiple factors
