The attack on the 50-year-old executive—allegedly by the now 27-year-old Luigi Mangione—immediately sparked an outpouring of public fury not at the gunman, but at UnitedHealthcare itself.

They are a wholly unnecessary middleman extracting a rent where none is due. They slow down the speed of care and needlessly complicate a very simple system.

It should not exist. They're the landlords of medicine. Entirely pointless and nothing more than a detriment to the profession, service, and function of healthcare no matter if its picking up a z-pack for bronchitis or having a tumor removed. Healthcare insurance serves no purpose whatsoever.

A single, (truly) non profit insurer that has no ability to deny coverage and is fully funded by income tax could have an administrative purpose.

I'm not a specialist of the US healthcare problem but if we believe Marc Cuban, insurance is not the biggest cost problem.
