Luigi Mangione is sitting in a New York jail cell awaiting trial. Accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, he may face the death penalty if convicted.
The Ivy League-educated, self-proclaimed anti-capitalist has become something of a celebrity in commie college circles because he's cute or something, and they hate America more than they hate murder.
The loony leftists out in California are jumping on the Luigi bandwagon. A proposal for a ballot initiative that would regulate health insurance reimbursements has been named in honor of the accused murderer.
We're not surprised by the proposal's content. The California statists would love to regulate every aspect of their residents' lives.
A proposed California ballot initiative, named after alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione, has been recently submitted to the California Attorney General’s Office.
The initiative would make it illegal for an insurance company to “delay, deny or modify any medical procedure or medication” suggested by a licensed physician in the Golden State, which could have serious consequences such as “disability, death, amputation, permanent disfigurement, loss or reduction of any bodily function,” the document stated.
If the initiative is enacted, any decision by an insurer to delay, deny or modify can only be made by a physician on behalf of any insurer. The initiative would also make it a felony to employ someone who is not a physician to review a decision made by a physician.

Roof Regulations: Gavin Newsom Gives Bill Maher Lip Service Over His Home Improvement Red Tape Nightmare Warren Squire The proposed act itself is almost as moronic as naming it after an accused assassin. Unless the idea is to drive health insurance prices through the roof, could the 'Luigi Mangione Act' be designed to kill the health insurance industry?
Will California ever learn?
Another level of idiocy. This is the same state that so over-regulated homeowners insurance that companies pulled out of the state, leaving thousands without insurance when their homes burned in wildfires.
It's as if California hates Californians as much as Luigi hates capitalism.
The tasteless 'Luigi Act' makes you wonder what they will come up with next.
One way or another, they will definitely try to resist the 'MAHA' movement.
Booth was a big supporter of the arts.
You get what you vote for, and should this crudely named proposal make it to the ballot and pass, the voters will get what they deserve. Naming the act after a cowardly, accused killer was a tactless and distasteful publicity stunt.
Classic California.
That’s just plain sick and disturbing. I can’t imagine the hell this has put the family of the murdered victim through
Welcome to the Hotel California.
Good to know that they have learned nothing, their biosphere of leftism is alive and well. And the fact that kali and all blue states went right this last election gives me some hope.
Let’s see what the gubment ie dancing newsome reaction to LA fires does to these leftists in kali.
My experience is that most of these leftist approve of policies they think will not affect them. They are now so we will see how their “principles “ hold.
A lot of insurance companies are really crooked though. They take your money and find reasons to deny your claim. It’s not just a left-wing idea.
Name of the bill aside - it sounds like good legislation IMHO. To steal a political saying - 'to delay is to deny'. The same holds true for what this legislation is attempting to stop, i.e., delays and denials that can cause great harm or death.
The Left is hate.
Except the insurance companies will have to employ physicians. And unless they employ a number of physicians equal to the number of people who are currently reviewing claims, delays will be inevitable.
And I’m sure physician reviewers will be paid much more than the current reviewers.
All the added expense and delay will be borne again by the patient. Increased time, increased cost: the hallmarks of progressive medical care.
Up next, the Charlie Manson daycare center, and the Richard Ramirez nursing home, and the Golden state killer swim center
That’s all the left has, is hatred for anyone who disagrees with them.
“serious consequences such as “disability, death”
If this person doesn’t get a boob job right this minute, they will commit suicide!
Yup, that’s going to work out just fine.
That shows you how wicked the left truly is.
The sad fact is that sooner or later nice insurance companies will get eaten alive by their customers, much like nice landlords. Being an SOB is the only way to survive.
Most of the liberal females I’ve heard talking about Luigi say they want to lick his eyebrows.
CaCaLand wants the industry dead, so they can take it over.
So, how about a tweak to the law encouraging the offing of any authoritarian like a CEO? I’d be OK with that.
Where is my list of govm’t officials that are the same?
If the only way to survive is to be corrupt, there is something wrong with the business model.
> A lot of insurance companies are really crooked though.<
True, but requiring an insurance company to pay for EVERYTHING a policy holder wants, all the time, with no oversight, and capping the insurance company’s premiums is the idiocy. Then the state has the nerve to blame the insurance company when it leaves the state.
In a free market, the bad insurance company gets forced out by its own doing.
EC
Hurting how many people before they are finally identified as corrupt?
Well, it looks like in CA this will be resolved by having no insurance available at any price. That will fix the problem. I guess.
