“To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”

Luigi Mangione’s manifesto lays bare a chilling portrait of frustration and rage, culminating in the tragic murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. This three-page handwritten document, found at Mangione’s arrest, casts a harsh spotlight on the U.S. healthcare system and corporate dominance.
Mangione’s critique targets a system he believes is irreparably broken—where exorbitant costs yield mediocre outcomes. He condemns a healthcare industry that ranks the U.S. 42nd in life expectancy despite being the world’s most expensive. His manifesto also seethes with anger toward corporate greed, singling out UnitedHealthcare for growing profits while healthcare quality stagnates. These perceived injustices propelled him toward violent measures.
The document exposes not only Mangione’s grievances but also his misguided sense of justice. It frames a belief that Americans have passively allowed corporations to seize too much power, prompting him to take extreme action. His plan, chillingly simple, exploited systemic vulnerabilities—an ominous reminder of the ease with which determined individuals can act.
Thompson’s murder has reignited debates over healthcare reform, corporate accountability, and systemic inequities. Mangione’s words, while damning of the healthcare system, also highlight the dangerous allure of violence for those who feel unheard.
