Even when Luigi Mangione was surrounded with people who cared about him, he was isolated by a spinal defect that gave the athletic young man crippling pain and contributed to a jaundiced view of the American health-care system.
Authorities charged Mangione, 26, with murder in the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York, and New York police said Wednesday that they believe the motive was animus toward the health insurance industry and corporate America. Police found a three-page handwritten document on Mangione that expressed disdain for the health business, they’ve said.
