Luigi Mangione manifesto goes viral exposing frustrations with United Healthcare
Observations from a nurse
I had a hard time finding this…if anyone can find a hard copy of the full manifesto, please add a link in the comments section.
Within hours the internet has been cleansed of Luigi’s message to the world about how United Healthcare treated his family. Even without his message, we all know how these companies behave. You pay thousands of dollars every year consisting of premiums and copays, only to receive crap treatment after waiting for months to see a specialist.
One of my closest friends is a RN who works from home dealing with insurance company denials and her response was, “United Healthcare is the worst”. Her advise to those being denied is, “Get a lawyer”.
Here’s what’s left of Luigi’s message…
“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”
Is it just me or is it too convenient that someone running from the law was captured with a hand written grievance / motive about the murder he just committed.
Luigi's frustration with United Health Care overlooks the fact that Medical Treatment is not the way to go in the first place. When doctors have gone on strike...less people die! Medical treatment is not prevention nor does it lead to cures. Cures come, when you eliminate the cause of a problem...whether it be junk food, alcohol, drugs or environmental radiation, etc. Doctors aren't going to tell you what caused your problem!
