The Shocking Murder of an Insurance CEO: What It Says About Healthcare in America

The recent murder of a top health insurance executive, Brian Thompson, has sparked a wave of anger among Americans. They're furious about high insurance costs and denied coverage. But why did it take such a dramatic event for people to pay attention? At a conference, leaders from Pfizer and Amazon discussed understanding patients' experiences. Yet, insurance companies still blame rising medical costs for high premiums. They're hiring bodyguards, but what about the employees who deny claims? Insurance premiums keep rising, even if you never make a claim. Cartoons once joked about patients being sent home early, but now it's a serious issue. Experts talk about fixing the healthcare system, but they don't take responsibility. Maybe it's time for a change, like the single-payer system used in other rich countries. But politicians listen to insurance companies, not the people they represent.
