Luigi, One Year Later: Fueling the Fight for Universal Healthcare in America
Following the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Luigi Mangione’s legal defense fund has garnered significant support, reflecting widespread frustration with the for-profit healthcare system. Supporters, spanning various political viewpoints, see the alleged act as a response to the dehumanizing practices of the healthcare industry. While public sentiment suggests discontent, the article questions whether this support will translate into meaningful change. The author proposes a shift from protest to direct action, such as a strike by healthcare providers against aspects of their work dictated by corporate control, to reclaim healthcare for all.
