UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s recent murder has sparked heated debates online, with some progressives celebrating his death as a form of ‘working-class justice.’ However, as Connor O’Keefe from the Mises Institute argues, the U.S. healthcare crisis stems not from a lack of regulation but from over a century of progressive-driven government intervention.
Policies like Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare are criticized for creating artificial shortages, skyrocketing prices, and a system that prioritizes profit over patient care. The piece calls for radical changes and accountability, rejecting violent narratives and urging solutions rooted in economic understanding.
