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.
Is having no insurance really any worse than having an insurance company that will always find a way to deny your claims? You might actually be better off putting that money into the bank rather than paying premiums to an insurance company that will screw you when the time comes.
You are right!
When corruption in a society is 'tolerated' and 'expected', it's time for that society to change. Our society needs to change!
