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.
Protesting is high-risk for the next four years. If you don’t already have a criminal background, you may be risking your employability. Learn the laws before you plan. If you’re protesting in DC for example, be sure to get a permit.
