Luigi Mangione, the suspect in last week’s fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare (UNH) CEO Brian Thompson in New York City, was arrested in Altoona, PA on Monday and has since been charged with the healthcare executive’s murder. NYPD investigators believed the killing to be “a pre-meditated, pre-planned, targeted attack,” but Mangione’s motive has yet to be revealed.
Following the assassination, Americans have been voicing their outrage and frustrations with insurance providers and broader faults in the American healthcare system. Oscar Health (OSCR) CEO Mark Bertolini told Yahoo Finance that the US healthcare system has “been broken for some time” and is “in large part built around meeting the needs of groups” rather than individuals.
Yahoo Finance senior health reporter Anjalee Khemlani details the health insurance industry’s reaction to these events and whether providers are entering an inflection point as to how they handle customer claims.
