Summary
A new NORC poll reveals that most Americans blame both health insurance profits and coverage denials alongside the shooter for the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
While 8 in 10 say the shooter holds the most responsibility, 7 in 10 also attribute blame to insurer practices, reflecting widespread frustration with the U.S. healthcare system.
Younger Americans especially view the incident as stemming from systemic issues, such as wealth inequality and denial tactics.
The poll highlights ongoing public dissatisfaction with insurers and the challenges many face in obtaining coverage.
Alongside?
How about exclusively because of the profits and denials?
I suspect they constructed the survey to enable them to spin the conclusion away from that.
11% of those surveyed said the shooter carries NO RESPONSIBILITY AT ALL in the death of the CEO.
That is WILD to me. 11% to take that hard of a line? 0.0000% responsibility for the death of a guy you intentionally shot?
That’s 1.2 people per jury.
Edit: my point is that it isn’t the survey, it’s the reporting.
Then it backfired cause it sounds like most americans feel like the killer has a point. Which is odd because very rarely americans agree on something that is correct.
and the ceos decisions in relationship to the policies that drive them. There certainly was a man present on that day that was responsible for the death but it wasn’t the killer.
Heh. That was my thought, as well. I’m very aware of the ethical crimes committed, and who committed them.
I expect this trial will have a hot jury nullification discussion, at the very least.
