<p>Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed this week that the denying health insurance claims was &#8220;an act of violence&#8221; similar to the health insurance CEO who was assassinated in New York City last week.</p>
<p>Ocasio-Cortez made the remarks on Capitol Hill while speaking to a reporter from CBS News about the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think that this collective American experience — which is so twisted to have in the wealthiest nation in the world — all of that pain that people have experienced is being concentrated on this event,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And it&#8217;s really important that we take a step back — this is not to comment, and this is not to say that an act of violence is justified — but I think for anyone who is confused or shocked or appalled, they need to understand that people interpret and feel and experience denied claims as an act of violence against them.</p>

<p>&#8220;People go homeless over the financial devastation of a diagnosis that doesn’t get addressed or, you know, the amount that they’re gonna have to cover with a surprise bill and things like that,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;And when we kind of talk about how systems are violent in this country in this passive way, our privatized health care system is like that for a huge amount of Americans.&#8221;</p>
<p>She then claimed that she did not have health insurance until she got elected to Congress as she complained about having had to &#8220;sit in a free clinic&#8221; in the past for medical care.</p>
