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.
The best thing for the system to protect itself is to frame this as a health insurance issue and not a unregulated capitalism issue.
That way it doesn’t have to address the rampant corruption that allowed this particular industry to get to this point. Nor will it be forced to address the myriad of other industries that are just as predatory.
Owner class is not here to be making concessions.
They implemented surveillance and intelligence apparatus that are going to test here if plebs start asking for change.
Occupy never ended, this is another flair up like police brutality protests.
They are waging a class war, most of us are just in denial about it.
