Summary
The murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson highlights public anger at a broken U.S. healthcare system.
Rising costs, limited access, and inefficiencies have fostered widespread frustration, with health insurers and hospitals becoming key targets.
Underlying issues include the financialization of healthcare, market monopolization, and a lack of collective action to address systemic failures.
To fix this, experts propose stronger state-led regulatory agencies to curb spending growth, enforce affordability, and prioritize public welfare over profit.
I agree but one thing they could do is not allow any one entity to be involved in more than one sector of it. insurance, provider, hospital, pharmacy, manufacturer. you can be in one and only one.
