A controversial California ballot initiative named after alleged murderer Luigi Mangione has sparked outrage for appearing to honor a man accused of assassinating a healthcare CEO. The Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act aims to stop insurance companies from denying doctor-recommended treatments but draws fierce criticism for its ties to violence.
as a dangerous example of California’s liberal priorities. Naming the bill after Mangione – charged with executing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson – sends a message that political violence gets rewarded, not punished. Critics argue it’s typical of leftist policies that prioritize activism over law and order.
The proposed law would let patients sue insurers who deny care and charge non-doctors with felonies for rejecting claims. While supporters claim it protects patients, opponents warn it could skyrocket insurance costs and clog courts with lawsuits. Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, seeking the death penalty for Mangione, called his actions “premeditated terrorism” needing harsh consequences.
as legally questionable and morally bankrupt. He noted prosecutors face hurdles labeling Mangione’s act as terrorism but emphasized the overwhelming evidence against him. Napolitano called California’s move to name the bill after an accused killer “absurd” and “unprecedented.”
Backlash grew as critics accused Democrats of glorifying violence. Social media erupted with posts calling the bill “insane” and its backers “anti-law enforcement.” Many conservatives linked it to broader concerns about liberal cities tolerating crime while attacking law-abiding citizens.

California’s push comes amid heated debates about healthcare costs and insurance practices. While supporters argue the bill protects patients, critics see it as another Sacramento overreach that punishes businesses. The proposal needs 546,000 signatures by 2026 but faces stiff resistance from voters wary of higher premiums.
This clash highlights America’s cultural divide. Conservatives view the Mangione bill as proof of coastal elites mocking justice and traditional values. With violent crime rising in Democratic cities, many see the initiative as a slap to victims and a green light for chaos. The battle over this measure will test California’s appetite for radical reforms – and the nation’s tolerance for politicizing tragedy.
