UnitedHealth Group confirmed that 26-year-old Luigi Mangione had never been insured by them, as reported by NBC. New York Police Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny noted that an examination of Mangione&#8217;s social media and writings indicated he had suffered a significant back injury. Kenny suggested that Thompson may have been targeted due to UnitedHealthcare&#8217;s prominence, stating there is no evidence Mangione was ever a customer but he referenced the company\u2019s status as one of America&#8217;s largest corporations. An NYPD intelligence report indicated that Mangione&#8217;s actions were fueled by resentment towards the health insurance sector and corporate greed, according to CNN. The report described his planned attack on Thompson as a symbolic act against perceived corruption within the industry, with Mangione claiming in his manifesto that it was necessary due to what he viewed as exploitation by powerful companies like UnitedHealthcare. He expressed frustration over America&#8217;s high healthcare costs despite low life expectancy and criticized corporate power dynamics in his writings.
