Progressive lawmakers joined their colleagues on Capitol Hill to condemn Luigi Mangione's killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, but also censured insurance companies for their use of "vile" tactics designed to maximize profits — tactics that have caused many people who suffered at their hands to celebrate Thompson's death as an act of justice.
“The visceral response from people across this country who feel cheated, ripped off, and threatened by the vile practices of their insurance companies should be a warning to everyone in the health care system,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., told HuffPost when asked about the disdainful response to Thompson's death.
