Following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, filmmaker Michael Moore has ignited controversy by expressing his support for the widespread anger directed at the healthcare industry. While explicitly stating he doesn't condone murder, Moore's recent Substack post argues that the public's outrage is justified and deserves amplification. He even offered free access to his 2007 documentary, "Sicko," which criticizes the pharmaceutical and health insurance sectors.

Moore's strong words follow the arrest of Luigi Mangione, charged with Thompson's murder outside a Manhattan hotel. The incident has sparked both condemnation and, surprisingly, celebration among some who perceive Americans as victims of the healthcare system. Moore aligns himself with the latter group, claiming his work has been referenced by the suspect as shedding light on the industry's "corruption and greed."

Addressing questions about his stance on the murder, Moore pointed to his past condemnations of violence in his films, such as "Fahrenheit 9/11." He then redirected his criticism towards healthcare companies, highlighting the disproportionate number of employees dedicated to denying healthcare coverage compared to the number of practicing physicians.

Moore ultimately condemned the healthcare industry and its CEOs, associating them with the very act of murder he claims to denounce. This provocative stance has further fueled the debate surrounding the healthcare system and the appropriate response to the CEO's tragic death.
