Nearly 7 in 10 Americans think that profits made by health insurance companies had either a great deal or moderate amount of responsibility for the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson earlier this month,

UnitedHealthcare CEO Thompson was gunned down from behind on a Manhattan street just before dawn on December 4, prompting a nationwide manhunt which ended five days later with the arrest of the suspected killer, 26-year-old Ivy League graduate Luigi Mangione.

The killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson sparked public outrage over the for-profit health insurance industry's practices. A new poll shows majority blame insurers for Thompson's death.

About 8 in 10 U.S. adults said the person who committed the killing has “a great deal” or “a moderate amount” of responsibility for the Dec. 4 shooting of Brian Thompson, according to a new poll.

The man charged with gunning down United Healthcare’s CEO outside a Manhattan hotel is now in a federal jail after being returned to New York City in dramatic fashion.
