What has brought renewed attention to the healthcare industry's prioritization of profits over patients?

The killing of the United Healthcare CEO in December last year has reignited public discourse about the healthcare industry's priorities. This incident highlighted the deep-seated anger people feel toward a system that appears to value financial gains over patient care and wellbeing. The event served as a catalyst, bringing to the surface long-simmering frustrations with healthcare corporations whose decisions often seem driven by profit motives rather than compassionate care. This renewed attention reflects broader societal concerns about the fundamental values and priorities of America's healthcare system.
