Most Americans blame insurance profits & denials alongside the killer in UHC CEO death, poll finds
In the survey from NORC at the University of Chicago, about 8 in 10 U.S. adults said the person who committed the killing has “a great deal” or “a moderate amount” of responsibility for the Dec. 4 shooting of Brian Thompson.
About 7 in 10 adults say that denials for health care coverage by insurance companies, or profits made by health insurance companies, bear at least “a moderate amount” of responsibility for Thompson’s death. Younger Americans are particularly likely to see the murder as the result of a confluence of forces rather than one person’s action.
About half believe that at least “a moderate amount” of blame is rooted in wealth or income #inequality.
