How do insurance companies contribute to America's healthcare crisis, and what does the Brian Thompson assassination reveal about public frustration with the system?

Insurance companies play a significant role in America's broken healthcare system by denying and delaying treatment for patients who have paid premiums faithfully. According to Brigham Bueller, these companies act as "judge, jury and executioner," contributing to the deaths of 1.7 million Americans annually from chronic diseases through systemic failures. The assassination of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, while tragic and unjustifiable, reflects the boiling point of public frustration with a profit-driven system that forces patients to "beg and plead" for care they've already paid for, highlighting the urgent need for healthcare reform.
