Why Are People So Angry at Health Insurance Companies?

Senator Bernie Sanders recently spoke about the tragic murder of a health insurance CEO and the growing frustration people feel towards the industry. He emphasized that violence is never the answer, but acknowledged that many people are upset with how health insurance companies operate. The shooting highlighted a bigger issue: the anger people feel when they can't get the healthcare they need, while insurance companies make huge profits. Sanders pointed out that the United States is the only major country without guaranteed healthcare for all. He raised questions about why our life expectancy is lower compared to other nations and why working-class people often die younger than those with more money. Sanders believes it's time to ensure that every person in the country has access to healthcare. He noted that even though we spend more on healthcare per person than any other nation, our system still leaves many behind.
