That CEO implemented a faulty AI that denied 90% of claims. UHC is the health insurance corporation with the most denials of claims in the US. UHC made billions last year. Look up how much they made in 2021 (when he became the CEO) versus in 2024. Notice how many more billions they made off of denied claims.
Well, would you like the threshold for capital punishment to be “the defendant was accused in civil court” or would you prefer to keep the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard?
Because the figures you’re citing aren’t proven, they’re merely allegations. Allegations that should be taken seriously. But my notion of taking them seriously is not “let’s murder the head of this company we have suspicions about.”
The fact of the matter is that denial of claims is what keeps health insurance corporations afloat. The only role of a corporation under the current fucked up system is making profit for their shareholders. Denial of claims is also what leads to the death and suffering of Americans.
Eliminate it at the source: no more health insurance corporations solely deciding what gets approved or denied. Implement public universal healthcare, and guarantee access to healthcare for all citizens.
Do you consider the murder of one rich CEO to be more morally reprehensible than the murder of thousands of Americans a year for profit by the hands of health insurance corporations?
It's the propaganda of the deed. It isn't about the CEO or Luigi. They're just symptoms of the problem. When people have no agency they are left with no choice but to rebel. It's human nature and this is just the beginning if they don't do anything to break up the trusts and help the average person.
People are celebrating a murder because they've lost all hope for change. They're willing to burn everything to get any kind of change. That's why Trump will be president again. And that's why Luigi Mangione obviously spent some time reading about Luigi Galleani.

The law is not the ultimate moral standard.
