Luigi Mangione's Alleged Murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Sparks Public Outcry, 41% of Young Voters Find Killing 'Acceptable'
Dec 27, 2024, 12:48 PM
Luigi Mangione, accused of the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City, has sparked a significant public reaction. A poll conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago found that while 8 in 10 Americans believe Mangione bears a 'great deal' or 'moderate amount' of responsibility for Thompson's death, about 7 in 10 also attribute at least 'a moderate amount' of blame to health insurance profits and coverage denials. This sentiment is particularly strong among younger Americans, with 41% of voters aged 18-29 finding the killing 'acceptable'. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and his attorney criticized the handling of his case, describing his perp walk as 'staged'. The incident has brought attention to broader issues with the U.S. health care system, with many Americans expressing frustration over insurance practices.
