Most Americans blame insurers alongside the killer in UHC CEO death

Most Americans blame insurers alongside the killer in UHC CEO death
SHARE

The recent tragic killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, Brian Thompson, has sparked a national conversation about the role of health insurance profits and coverage denials in the healthcare industry. A new poll conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago reveals that most Americans believe that while the person who pulled the trigger bears the most responsibility for Thompson’s death, health insurance companies also share some blame.

The suspect charged with Thompson’s murder, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, has been portrayed by some as a heroic figure due to his alleged grievances against insurance companies. Police found the words “delay,” “deny,” and “depose” on the ammunition at the scene, highlighting the frustration many feel with insurer tactics to avoid paying claims. UnitedHealthcare has stated that Mangione was not a client.

Approximately 7 in 10 adults believe that denials for health care coverage and the profits made by health insurance companies played a role in Thompson’s death. Younger Americans, in particular, see the murder as a result of multiple factors rather than just the actions of the killer.

The poll also reveals that wealth or income inequality, as well as frustrations with the U.S. healthcare system, were seen as contributing factors to Thompson’s death. Patients and doctors often face challenges with coverage denials and other complications that impact access to care, especially for serious illnesses like cancer and ALS.

UnitedHealthcare, one of the largest health insurers in the country, made over $16 billion in profit last year on $281 billion in revenue. Critics question whether the interests of patients are truly a priority for insurance companies given their substantial profits.

Younger Americans are more likely to spread blame evenly between insurers and the killer for Thompson’s death. They also express concerns about wealth inequality and the role of the media in shaping public perception.

Frustrations with health insurers and coverage denials have been ongoing issues for many Americans. About 3 in 10 say they have faced challenges with their health insurance in the last year, including difficulties finding in-network providers, denied claims, and issues with prior authorizations.

The poll, which surveyed 1,001 adults, highlights the complexities and challenges within the U.S. healthcare system. It underscores the need for continued dialogue and efforts to address issues related to health insurance coverage and access to care.
