Warren on UnitedHealthcare CEO’s killing: ‘People can only be pushed so far’

Politico  

In a statement to POLITICO after this report published Wednesday, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Written on the bullet casings at the crime scene were “deny,” “defend,” and “depose,” a possible nod to former Rutgers Law professor Jay Feinman’s 2010 book, “Delay, Deny, Defend: Why insurance companies don’t pay claims and what you can do about it.” Sen. Bernie Sanders, who, like Warren, is a steadfast critic of the health care industry, also put the murder in the larger context of Americans’ frustration with the system. Thompson’s murder was “outrageous,” Sanders said Tuesday, according to the Huffington Post. He added that what the outpouring of anger at the health care industry “tells us is that millions of people understand that healthcare is a human right and that you cannot have people in the insurance industry rejecting needed health care for people while they make billions of dollars in profit.” At least one Democrat was much more blunt in their condemnation of Mangione. Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman called him an “asshole that’s going to die in prison,” also in an interview with HuffPost.
