Mother of Alleged Killer of Healthcare CEO Questioned Night Before Arrest

Luigi Mangione was recently arrested in the shocking murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

According to new reports, his mother, Kathleen, had been interviewed by authorities the night before the alleged killer was arrested.

The interview was in relation to a missing person’s report the family had filed regarding Luigi.

This trial all got started when the surveillance photos surfaced of Mangione.

Law enforcement in San Francisco saw the photos and believed that the individual in the pictures was the same person reported missing by the Mangione family in November.

The report stated, “Police tipped off the feds after they recognized the 26-year-old’s face in surveillance images put out by the NYPD after Thompson, 50, was gunned down last week – but his mother wasn’t completely confident that was actually her son in the images.

“The accused gunman, however, was taken into custody the following morning at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s before the feds could notify the NYPD of the exchange, according to sources.”

The murder has gained the attention of the entire country, especially after some of our lawmakers started to side with Mangione and those who applauded the murder.

Healthcare companies in this country are not exactly looked upon kindly, and I can tell you from firsthand experience how brutal they can be.

Last year, my L4 was completely crushed, and I needed to have my third spinal fusion, but my insurance company refused to cover my MRI and declined the surgery.

I paid to have my MRI done on my own, and even though the report recommended surgery, the insurance company declined it again.

I got my surgery approved because I went on LinkedIn, posting the report and Xrays on the CEO’s page on diversity post, suggesting that instead of promoting diversity, she should actually take care of the people paying their premiums (my premium, by the way, was about $800 per month).

The next day, a manager and personal insurance concierge called me up to ensure me there would be no more obstacles and they would personally approve everything, but it never should have come to that point.

Mangione was reportedly suffering debilitating back pain, so while I can fully understand his frustration with the system, I can honestly say going after a CEO like that never actually entered my mind, and I could not even walk at the time.

These people are crushing us with high premiums and deductibles (in my case, that surgery, including my premiums that year, I was out of pocket roughly $20,000), and these CEOs are raking in salaries well into the eight digits.

In 2023, for example, United Health Group’s Andrew Witty made more than $23 million. Elevance Health’s Gail Boudreaux made nearly $22 million. CVS’s Karen Lynch pulled down more than $21 million. Cigna Group’s David Cordani made just over $21 million. And Centene’s Sarah London pulled down about $18.5 million (she is the CEO that I had contacted).

Those figures include salary, option awards, and stock awards, just to name a few of the perks in their packages.

Point being, when you have regular Americans literally going bankrupt or forced to live in pain due to medical care, but then you have people like this making these enormous salaries from them, I think we can all agree the system is broken.
