‘Yes, I condemn murder’: Michael Moore responds to Luigi Mangione’s manifesto


The documentarian, whose 2007 film Sicko took aim at the US health insurance system went on to say that the outpouring of anger at the industry is ‘1000% justified’

Michael Moore, the Oscar-winning documentarian reportedly mentioned in the manifesto of suspected killer Luigi Mangione, has responded to the case. Moore has frequently tackled the for-profit healthcare industry, in particular in 2007 film Sicko, and wrote an open letter in response to repeated media requests for comment, following the news that the film-maker was reportedly cited in Mangione’s own writings. It is about the mass death and misery – the physical pain, the mental abuse, the medical debt, the bankruptcies in the face of denied claims and denied care and bottomless deductibles on top of ballooning premiums – that this ‘health care’ industry has levied against the American people for decades.
