A California ballot measure named after an accused assassin is causing outrage across the nation. The proposal claims to protect patients from insurance company abuses but honors a man charged with murdering a healthcare CEO. Critics say it’s another example of radical left policies putting dangerous ideas above public safety.
The “Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act” would block insurance companies from denying doctor-recommended treatments. It’s named after the man who allegedly shot United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year. Mangione’s bullets reportedly had the words “delay” and “deny” engraved on them – terms insurers use when rejecting claims. Supporters act like this killer is some kind of hero fighting corporate greed.
Conservatives are slamming the measure as delusional and dangerous. Fox News host Sean Hannity called it “insanity” for glorifying violence while Democrats lecture others about “domestic terrorism.” Dr. Drew Pinsky warned this sends the worst message to young people – that assassins deserve applause if they push far-left causes. How can the same party that condemned January 6th now celebrate a man who murdered a father in cold blood?
This isn’t the first time California Democrats have backed extreme policies. In 2020, they refused to stop riots that burned cities and killed cops. Now they’re undoing Prop 47’s criminal reforms with harsh new penalties for petty theft – proving their “woke” ideas failed. But instead of learning from mistakes, they’re naming laws after killers and encouraging more chaos.
The Mangione measure would let patients sue insurers and even make it a felony for non-doctors to review medical decisions. While that might sound good, conservatives argue it’s just a Trojan horse for trial lawyers to get rich. It also ignores how government-run healthcare schemes limit choices and harm quality – problems this bill does nothing to fix.
California’s leaders seem obsessed with catering to radical activists instead of protecting families. Naming a law after an accused murderer shows how low they’ll stoop for political points. Meanwhile, ordinary folks face skyrocketing crime, homelessness, and living costs because Democrats care more about criminals than victims.
This measure needs 546,000 signatures to reach the 2026 ballot. But many Californians are already fed up with far-left experiments. Over 70% voted for tougher crime laws last year – rejecting the soft-on-crime policies that turned cities into disaster zones. The Mangione bill is another tone-deaf stunt that voters will hopefully shut down.
Americans want safe streets and affordable healthcare, not laws named after killers. Until liberals stop romanticizing violence and start enforcing order, this chaos will keep spreading. Conservatives must stand strong against this madness – our families and freedoms depend on it.
