Brianna Boston, 42, was taken into custody after telling a Blue Cross Blue Shield agent to “delay, deny, and step down.” You guys are next.'' Her medical claims were denied.

The national news story made headlines and sparked a national discussion about the “perceived predatory nature” of for-profit health care companies.
Both phrases used by Boston and Luigi Mangione come from a book written by Jay Feynman, a professor emeritus at Rutgers University School of Law. The title of the book is “Delays, Denials, and Defenses: Why Insurance Companies Don’t Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It.”
This book was published in 2010 and provides a detailed explanation of the abuses of auto and home insurance. The book also details how certain companies distort and evade insurance claims in order to “avoid paying legitimate claims.”

The affidavit also revealed how Boston claimed, in his own words, that healthcare companies “deserve karma from the world because they are evil.”

Additionally, Mangione's manifesto was recently discovered. The 26-year-old suspect detailed why he killed Thompson at close range in midtown Manhattan.
“I apologize for the traumatic conflict, but it had to be done,” Mangione wrote. “Frankly, these parasites were just expecting it to come.”

[indecipherable] It is the largest company in the United States by market capitalization after Apple, Google, and Walmart. It's been growing and growing, but what will happen to our average lifespan? No, in reality, these are [indecipherable] They simply have too much power and continue to abuse our country in order to make huge profits for the American people. [allowed] They get away with it,” he continued.
“At the moment it's not a question of consciousness, but clearly there are power games going on. I'm clearly the first person to confront this issue with such brutal honesty,” he added.
Bail in Boston was set at $100,000 and she could face up to 15 years in prison.
Meanwhile, social media users commented on recent news and explained their thoughts on anti-medical industry sentiment.
