Shapiro: "Hear me on this: he is no hero."

92. It Isn't

We still don't fully know what Mangione's motive was. When I talk about self defense, I mean defense against a corrupt system that profits off of denying sick and dying people urgent medical care. The For Profit Health Insurance industry is corrupt and profits off of the suffering and death of human beings. I suspect that something like that motivated Mangione to take an extreme action. So I condemn his action, but I think that I might understand his motivation.

Health Care is a right and should not be used as a profit center for corporatists. Literally tens of thousands of people suffer and die every year due to a lack of health care coverage. The number that die due to denials by private insurers is unknown. So now we hear about this murder but why do we not hear of the tens of thousands that die every year due to a lack of coverage? This is a white washed mass murder. And it continues.

Am I sorry that the CEO was killed? Yes. But I understand that some people might be upset about the tens of thousands of people that die every year due to a lack of health insurance coverage. Why is that not in the news? Why are we not upset over all of those people dying and the suffering of their loved ones? Can you answer me that?
