Luigi Mangione, the suspected assassin of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, raged over major health insurance companies’ growing power and claimed in a handwritten manifesto that they cared only about “immense profit” at the expense of Americans, according to sources.
Mangione, 26, cited UnitedHealthcare as one of the biggest companies in the US by market capitalization and slammed the health insurance business in the two-and-a-half-page manifesto addressed to “the Feds” and recovered by investigators during his arrest Monday.
“The reality is, these [companies] have gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit,” Mangione wrote, according to the sources.
He apologized for any trauma he inflicted — likely alluding to his alleged execution-style shooting of Thompson, 50, in busy Midtown last week — but said “it had to be done.”
