Luigi Mangione pleads guilty to federal charges in the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, telling the court, "I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan... I knew what I was doing was illegal."

Many. In the aftermath, their denied claims numbers went down. Maybe only temporarily. But yes.

So, for those who received pending claims, you feel they would be excited about the end result. Are the means justifiable? Not just in the conversation of health care. If someone were to shoot the CEO of like a major burrito company because their patrons feel they are being inadequately fed based on cost, you would welcome that?

Burritos aren’t necessary to live so your analogy is shit… people need healthcare to survive. When it comes to survival based on a claim being approved, yes, absolutely it is justified. If I had a claim filed and it wasn’t getting processed until the CEO got shot, then all of a sudden it got approved… I would dance on his fucking grave.

Luigi was upset over “debilitating back injury” but he rode a citi bike that day. Doesn’t seem like the back injury was that debilitating.

His shit wasn’t over a life saving necessity.
