I’m just hoping in the end that this will result in dialogue and change in the healthcare system that is sadly broken. I’m a pharmacist and I haven’t had health insurance at all for the last 10 years. The affordable healthcare act isn’t affordable. We should be ashamed of this as a country

As a bit of a word nerd who enjoys the subtle differences in the way one says things, I really enjoyed this lawyer’s interviews. He’s comfortable in press interviews and confident in his ability to say exactly what he means. As for the crime itself (because it is a crime, regardless of offender or reasons), I am caught somewhere between having sympathy that these practices have led someone to such drastic action, apathy toward the victim, and a feeling of hopelessness about the whole system and the potential for reform.

[@Thaxannadrote]

​@@jelly221 Seems a pretty clear case of "F around, find out" for the victim of the attack. It was not the right way to address the issues with the Healthcare system, but the high ups know there is a breaking point for people, and that when pushed past that point by a company refusing to hold up their end of a deal through loopholes (that they write in for themselves) some people will react in explosive or violent ways. Personally I've just refused to pay into the insurance system (other than when I was legally forced to by Democrats via the ACA). As someone who makes choices that result in minimal health issues it's cheaper to just pay for those in the rare cases they happen than to be paying thousands every year for insurance that provides no benefit to me because deductibles and co-pays exist even when you pay for insurance.

A nurse is woking in the best interests of the patient and will most likely be distraught if a patient passes. Medical insurance executives are working on behalf of shareholders and extra bonus for themselves. The patient is just a commodity for making money. Theres a massive difference between the two and to suggest otherwise is disengenus

[@wernerfoerster3666]

Where did you get the notion that an insurance company has the obligation to do what is in the best interest of a person's health. An insurance company has an obligation to perform in accord with the contract of insurance.

[@mannypacquiao7]

@wernerfoerster3666 Did I say that the insurance company had an obligation to the patient? In many cases the insurance company will be acting against the medical interests of the patient. They are in a business which attempts to maximise premiums and minimise outgoings, a sound business ethic but not in the best interests of the patient.

Nurses are getting paid and ask for raises and extra benefits. They are part of the same capitalist society that encourages a for profit company, like an insurance company ,to act in their own best interest. If nurses don't get paid, they don't work and the hospital doesn't exist. If the health insurance company isn't profitable, they don't exist. Nurses want higher compensation, insurance companies want higher profit. We are all participating.

Thanks for your coverage of this case. I agree this killing is not the way to handle these issues. However, when one feels helpless against these entities that have all the power and control to manipulate health care then desperate people do desperate things. At present we live in a culture of death where most doctors are willing to let and even assist a patient with their death, whether they want to die or not. It's not just doctors, though, it's basically all institutions of "health care." Nurses have become accustomed to allowing, especially older patients, to die. Our culture has very little respect for the aged. They are instead a burden. I have seen drastic changes in healthcare, since retiring from nursing. Insurance is a huge problem, but the entire system is broken. Ethics need to be taught and instilled in nursing and doctors. People need to understand that a person is not an inconvenience nor are they disposable! God help us!

I work in retail, especially during COVID i witness peers being shoved, spit on, had things thrown at. I am frustrated at how the insurance companies make it harder for healthcare personnel to take care of us. However, this was an evil act.

Great show. Please keep up on this and keep us informed as new information comes. New subscriber here. Thank you.

Thumbs down. Luigi is an American HERO ❤🙏

[@camilaxcastillo]

There is no way on Earth that the lawmakers and professionals hired to help Americans remain healthy and alive can justify putting the financial gain of the shareholders of those companies as a priority over the American citizens health and well being . I agree Peter that vigilante inspired action is not the solution , but it doesn’t help that it’s only after something as outrageous as what happened finally does we all start having conversations about these deplorable practices that have become all to common. The reason doctors exist is not to enrich some shareholders but to save lives , so it really is completely backwards that they are being held hostages to a system where they have to answer to the money makers and not to the real clients that are the tax payers and insurance payers that expect a decent health care.

[@beckywilliamson4741]

Right on sister!

"convicted in the court of public opinion"....? All this lawyer needs is a decent jury and Luigi walks, the public is hailing him as a hero

[@KittyGonzalez-bc8ee]

Their ignorance is frightening! This is a cold blooded killer they want to donate to defend...they miss ...bypass the Fact 2ecsaw him commit a cold blooded CRIME UPON ANOTHER PERSON HE HAD NEVER M3T. THAT is the point!

HE ALREADY MADE A DIFFERENCE

[@FlowerPow-tz1cn]

They said a few days ago that the print that was found on I guess the phone or the water bottle was smudged. So how could his print match evidence at the scene ?

My heart goes out to this young man. There is so much of this that of course has not revealed. I'm cheering you on😊😊😊.

You condone murder? Shooting someone in the back? A father? He could have shot your relative by mistake.

[@wernerfoerster3666]

What is wrong with you?

[@nadiasingh8700]

Umm no that’s not what you’re doing. But unfortunately this was a loud brave way for change. Healthcare is and should be a human right. So many mothers with breast cancer are denied medical help to save their lives to go home to their babies. They killed thousands. Not American 🇺🇸 but I stand with my US friends free Luigi hope the American people get the change in their health policies 🙏

When Mangione said it was trivial, I believe he meant the planning of the hit was trivial, not the actual taking of Thompson's life.

[@tinyhomestead6023]

But it has United the right and the left! And it put this major problem front and center that needs intelligent discussion. The lobbyists for medical insurance are like bribing our lawmakers and it just keeps getting worse.

[@sbdesignexcellence2966]

I love the answer he gave when he said are you defending the person who did it And you said I don't know. Excellent answer

[@martiferguson7087]

One thing that bothers me is someone in the main press conference said. Officers asked him if he been to NY lately and he didn't answer correctly. Not sure if it's coz I'm from UK but the term correctly doesn't sit well with me

[@BeeMcDee]

This is a good point. I mean, even allowing for people using words thoughtlessly, that’s still a concerning sign.

[@keryljensen978]

The way I understood it, he didn't answer that question. He avoided it.

[@kingduran007]

He got very nervous when asked which is a sign of guilt of something why would that question bother him

[@martiferguson7087]

@kingduran007 it's the use of the word correctly like there was a right and wrong answer instead of an honest answer.

[@Por2ugal]

@@kingduran007that’s what police reported. Was he really nervous? We don’t know

Great analysis of this sad and tragic situation. My heart goes out to both families💔 This young man had such a promising future. ♥️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@gardeningforfunandlongevit6076]

Non-profit healthcare means nothing, it’s just a differentiation in tax filing but they still pay their upper management 6 figures. Quite interesting consideration.

[@trucuriousity]

That depends on the size of the organization. Unfortunately nonprofits have to compete for talent too and even still they can't pay like the for profit orgs. I spent 17 years in nonprofit and finally left to make $30k more a year.

I vilify this CEO because my issues with his company ( I was forced to deal with) started when he became the CEO and stated making changes.. changes that now leave me without a Dr-buying my inhalers off the streets. The man made millions ,I got a death sentence... Now we're even.. his work killed us both

The American healthcare system IS VIOLENT tho. How many people die everyday because of the greed in the system? That’s where the senseless violence is. Not with this guy. His reasons make complete sense.

[@thedragodile545]

Arguing that a nurse is going to get the same treatment is a slippery slope fallacy. Do nurses make millions from the suffering and death of their patients? Let's be real.

[@leftypaws1131]

100%. Such an idiotic comparison 🙄

[@reneerunyan4103]

How can defense attorneys grapple with defending a client and putting that person back on the street

[@laurie6332]

I hope his family steps in because Luigi is not in the right frame of mind to be making decisions at this point. He is not in a good frame of mind just based on his entry into the courthouse screaming and yelling. His family is uber-wealthy, they can get him the best lawyer available. All the notebooks, and the 3 page letter truly makes me feel that he thought he would be shot and he was willing to take that chance. Why else would he walk around with manifestos and explanations, stating he worked alone, honestly feels he thought it was going to be death by cop.

[@martiferguson7087]

Our nhs is falling apart. Its nothing to envy. We have over 8 hour wait times we have patients in corridors in beds waiting for a space on wards. The wait time for procedures is many many months leading close to years. Yes its free for now but it costs with ppls health

[@lindayates1537]

My health care is certainly not free. It costs mine and my family a lot of money to have insurance, yet we pay so much after any appointment, test, or procedure.

[@martiferguson7087]

@lindayates1537 I'm guessing your not in tje UK then

[@lindayates1537]

​@martiferguson7087 In the USA. I have been battling insurance for a couple of years, and it is wearing me out. I have recently just been canceling appointments because I just don't want to deal with it, or have so many bills to pay.
