“He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” Trump, a Republican, proclaimed on his Truth Social network. The White House did not respond to a request for more details.

Can someone point me to the facts of this case please? Did anyone read the actual reasons why his claim was refused? What other people are dying? Links? Do you know of anyone who was refused a life saving claim? Has anyone here been refused a claim? ty
Edit: LOL at all the links that were posted to defend this killer. You guys get too much of your news from FB, X and any other source that do not fact check. LM will end up as an insignificant murderer who will die in prison. I hope he gets the care he needs while incarcerated, no insurance there for him. LOL
Please tell me why this guy is your hero? I really do not understand why he’s in that position after a murder. He even shot him in the back, cowardly so. You want to make a point, write a letter. Killing of a human being is not something that should be used to protest a bad decision on your health care ffs. Are you saying this is the way we should deal with matters like this?
ah yes, writing a letter. just like the millions of people that UHC
murderedwrote letters to.UHC and many other health insurance companies in the US will and do let people die in order to keep profits. Brian Thompson was complicit in this process. His murder is fully justified.
I don’t want a future where murder and violence is the only way to bring issues to light, but when governments, regulations, and other protections fail us, people get desperate. They are left with no other choice.
I admit I’m not aware of the problems in the US specifically related to insurance claims being refused. Links to actual cases would be nice. It’s just that where are we going to stop? A gate has been opened and now maybe someone is plotting to execute some oil exec. because of the price of gasoline, or the price of food, high taxes… it kind of creeps me out that many people arrive to your conclusion in todays society; where we expect to be safe from exactly that sort of thing.

You are incredibly naïve
Taken in the context I wrote it without further info was indeed naive. See other comments for clarity.
We need to recognise social murder as murder.
Thousands of people die preventable deaths every day because of health insurance not covering basic measures, but people online spend more effort defending the life of one CEO, than those millions of cumulative deaths.
The unheard pleas and screams for help of millions of people are being ignored so a couple rich people can uphold their hierarchy. It’s inevitable that some of the oppressed people will crack, here it was Luigi, a rich and privileged kid, who couldn’t deal with the sort of stuff poor disabled and marginalised folk deal with every day.
But yet we also see him as a sort of symbol, standing for the collective pain we have felt, the relatives and friends who have died preventable deaths, someone who stood up and sent a message to the people causing so much suffering.
Most won’t agree with how he did it, and that’s okay, but you’ve got to admit, your “letter” comparison doesn’t make sense. He could have sent a letter, and it would have been ignored, just like the millions of pleas for help were.
My letter comment was vague. What I really was trying to say if there are so many refusals then why not collectively arrange a formal complaint with authorities?
