The unparalleled support for Mangione's legal defense underscores a growing sentiment among many Americans who see him as a symbol of resistance against perceived injustices in the healthcare system.

A recent NORC survey at the University of Chicago revealed a striking disconnect in public opinion: while 80% agree the murderer is responsible, 70% hold healthcare companies accountable for enabling conditions that lead to such desperate acts. This duality reflects how societal frustrations can sometimes condone or sympathize with actions that would typically be met with outrage.
