An off-Broadway musical called "United State of Healthcare" dramatizes Luigi Mangione's 2024 assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, blending humor and horror to skewer the U.S. health insurance system. It captures public fury over denied claims and high costs, turning a real-life killing into theatrical provocation. The production matters because it tests how far art can push in lionizing anti-corporate violence.
