Part 2/9:
Recently, a troubling poll from Emerson College unearthed that a surprising 41% of young people (ages 18-29) found the alleged murder of UnitedHealthcare's CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangion to be somewhat or completely acceptable. This perspective starkly contrasts with the 68% of respondents from all age groups who deemed the actions unacceptable. The discussion points to a larger issue regarding frustrations targeting the healthcare system, which cuts across party lines. The rampant costs associated with medical care in the U.S. instigate broad discontent, resulting in complicated sentiments regarding accountability and justice.
