Summary
Americans’ dissatisfaction with the U.S. health care system has reached new highs, with majorities deeming it “poor” and accusing private insurers of lack of transparency, denied claims, and unaffordable costs.
This outrage was starkly evident in public reactions to the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, where social media erupted in mockery and shared horror stories of insurers’ practices.
The incident highlights deep, bipartisan resentment of the profit-driven system.
Critics argue this public anger debunks claims that Americans “love” private insurance, presenting a missed political opportunity for Medicare for All advocates.
Yeah … let’s build a health insurance system where people pay a leech middleman to pay for their hospital system. Hospital services are expensive anyway but you half to pay a mafia on top of it all and if you don’t the mafia get to break your knees … or your family’s knees. And everyone keeps arguing that this is better and more acceptable than publicly funded health care.
