The most telling sentence in a lengthy Wall Street Journal article about Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League-educated scion of a prominent Maryland family who is suspected of shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is surprisingly banal: "It wasn't clear what dealings he had with health insurance companies."
As Business Insider reported, Mangione complained about terrible back pain in social-media posts "and what he felt to be the healthcare system's inadequate response." None of those posts "blame UnitedHealthcare—or Thompson—for his health issues." So we don't know about his personal healthcare experiences, but it is clear from the handwritten notes found in his backpack that he has a beef with our healthcare system.
