Show Notes
In this episode The Case: Luigi Mangione, we look into the anger felt toward the healthcare industry in the United States — anger that prosecutors say fueled Mangione to allegedly target and gun down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a Manhattan sidewalk. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all the charges. For many who don't deal their health insurance much beyond an annual physical or an occasional doctor's appointment, the level of anger and subsequent support for Mangione may have been jarring. NBC New York's Erica Byfield speaks with author Katherine Hempstead, who wrote the book "Uncovered: The Story of Insurance in America," to learn more about how the health insurance industry works and why so many feel like the system isn't working for them.
