The McDonald’s restaurant in Altoona, Pennsylvania, has been inundated with negative reviews following the arrest of Luigi Mangione, the suspect charged in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The low ratings began pouring in after it was reported that Mangione had been spotted at the restaurant, leading Google to remove the reviews that violated its policies. However, some negative reviews that did not appear to come from genuine customers remained online. The arrest of Mangione has sparked a wave of anger directed at the insurance industry as a whole, with UnitedHealthcare customers expressing frustration with the company’s practices.
Altoona police found a note in Mangione’s backpack that Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said indicates Mangione has ill will toward corporate America. The killing of Thompson has highlighted the challenges faced by many Americans due to rising health insurance costs, with premiums increasing faster than inflation in recent years. A Gallup poll found that 81% of Americans were dissatisfied with the cost of health care in the U.S., reflecting a growing frustration with the system. The public outcry over Thompson’s killing underscores the broader issues facing the health care industry and the need for reform to make health care more accessible and affordable for all Americans.
