In California, an initiative named after alleged assassin Luigi Mangione has been proposed, aiming to prohibit insurance companies from delaying or denying medical procedures or medications recommended by licensed physicians. Filed by Paul Eisner, the initiative targets practices that could lead to severe consequences for patients. The terms used in the act resonate with phrases from a notable healthcare book, and reactions to the name of the initiative have sparked public discussion about the leadership’s decision-making in healthcare policy.
"The Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act would make it illegal for an insurance company to 'delay, deny, or modify any medical procedure or medication'..."
"The terms 'delay' and 'deny' were made popular by the healthcare book 'Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claims and What You Can Do About.'"
