Summary
Progressive lawmakers view the online praise for the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson as a sign of deep public frustration with the U.S. healthcare system.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called it a “wake-up call” highlighting resentment over financial and health precarity, while Sen. Bernie Sanders emphasized that anger reflects the belief that healthcare is a human right.
Though all lawmakers condemned the murder, some progressives argue it underscores systemic issues like claim denials.
Calls for healthcare reform have intensified amid public outrage.
It’s not just the healthcare system
Agreed, and also it’s not just “frustration”. Their choice of words is a sugar coating.
Thank you…
Wtf are you saying “the belief” that health care is a human right?? You can go believe in your God or your orange man, health care IS a human right and “believing” in it is ridiculous…
