Summary

The killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has ignited outrage over the state of U.S. healthcare.

While his murder shocked many, online reactions highlighted public frustration with private insurers, citing denied care, high costs, and systemic bureaucracy.

UnitedHealthcare, a major industry player, has faced scrutiny for practices perceived as prioritizing profit over patients.

The attack, which appears premeditated, underscores rising tensions around healthcare inequality.

Experts see this as part of a broader trend toward violence over societal disputes, reflecting deep dissatisfaction with the American healthcare system.

I'm not noticing much follow up action. I'd like to be proud of you people for once, show the world you aren't COMPLETELY incapable of citizen led change. If you want to be free the establishment needs to change, not just billionaires sharing a TINY bit more, hoping that's enough to not be shot.
