Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy slammed the “health care industry that mostly doesn’t give a s–t” about ailing patients and urged fellow lawmakers to heed the “visceral anger” of Americans after the slaying of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
“I’m never going to condone violence. I don’t here,” Murphy (D-Conn.) began in a video posted to X on Sunday, before adding: “What I see happening in this country, though, is a real, visceral anger, that the outrage of Brian Thompson’s death, or the outrage of the death of any powerful person, isn’t matched by the anger of the thousands of people who die often anonymous deaths every single day at the hands of a health care industry that mostly doesn’t give a s–t.”
“People in America today feel ignored, they feel scared, they feel alone, that intentionally grinds them down. A system where profit matters more than life,” he said. “My colleagues need to listen and we need to do something about it.”
