California Considers Ballot Measure Limiting Insurance Denials, Named After Alleged Murderer

News summary

A proposed ballot initiative in California, named the 'Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act,' aims to make it illegal for insurance companies to delay, deny, or modify medical procedures recommended by physicians. The initiative was submitted by attorney Paul Eisner and is inspired by the alleged murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Mangione, who reportedly criticized the healthcare system in a letter found at the crime scene. Critics of the measure have expressed outrage over its association with a murderer, drawing parallels to naming laws after infamous criminals. The proposal would require insurance companies to provide substantial evidence if they choose to deny coverage for medical treatments. Supporters argue it addresses significant issues within the healthcare industry, while opponents view it as inappropriate to honor a figure accused of such a violent crime. Public comments on the measure are open until April 25.
