Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related

Summary

Americans’ dissatisfaction with the U.S. health care system has reached new highs, with majorities deeming it “poor” and accusing private insurers of lack of transparency, denied claims, and unaffordable costs.

This outrage was starkly evident in public reactions to the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, where social media erupted in mockery and shared horror stories of insurers’ practices.

The incident highlights deep, bipartisan resentment of the profit-driven system.

Critics argue this public anger debunks claims that Americans “love” private insurance, presenting a missed political opportunity for Medicare for All advocates.
