商品描述
How support for the Luigi Mangione erupted from what remains unfinished in the American Revolution--and the unexpected path to fulfill its promise. On December 4, 2024, the CEO of America's largest health insurer was shot dead on a Manhattan sidewalk. At the scene lay bullet casings inscribed with the words "DELAY, DENY, DEPOSE." Amid the shocking popular celebration of the killing, a nationwide manhunt captured a suspect: Luigi Mangione, a handsome Ivy League graduate from a wealthy background. He was immediately embraced as a hero across America, as if Brian Thompson were the real criminal in a much larger crime; as if the bullets had deposed a tyrant.
Who gets to draw the boundary around a crime scene? The government, or the people?
DEPOSE: Luigi Mangione, the Right to Health, and the Unfinished American Revolution makes a new kind of case for why the healthcare system in America is itself a crime. Connecting the dots between the rise of for-profit health insurance and the nearly 15 million "excess deaths" in America that accompanied it, the authors track the opponents of universal healthcare back to their sources. There, they discover a little-known coverup that has shaped the law itself: the forced disappearance of our natural right to health. Reclaiming that right changes how we understand our history--and reveals what remains unfinished in the American Revolution.
Written by the December 4 Legal Committee, the anonymous collective behind the fund that raised more than $1.5 million for Luigi Mangione's legal defense,
Depose takes the American healthcare debate onto the terrain of the fundamental political questions facing all of us today.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
Luigi Mangione 所獲得的支持，如何從美國革命尚未完成的部分中爆發——以及實現其承諾的意外道路。
2024 年 12 月 4 日，美國最大型健康保險公司的執行長在曼哈頓的人行道上遭槍殺。現場留下的子彈彈殼上刻著「DELAY, DENY, DEPOSE」（拖延、否認、罷免）幾個字。在這起槍殺事件引發令人震驚的民眾歡慶之際，一場全國性的追捕行動逮捕了一名嫌疑犯：Luigi Mangione，一名出身富裕家庭、畢業於 Ivy League 的英俊男子。他隨即在全美被視為英雄，彷彿真正的罪犯是 Brian Thompson，而他只是更大犯罪中的一環；彷彿那些子彈罷免的是一名暴君。
誰有權劃定犯罪現場的界線？政府，還是人民？
《DEPOSE：Luigi Mangione、健康權與尚未完成的美國革命》以全新的論證方式，說明為何美國的醫療保健制度本身就是一種犯罪。作者將營利性健康保險的崛起，與隨之而來、近 1,500 萬起美國「超額死亡」連結起來，追溯全民醫療保健的反對者及其根源。在那裡，他們發現了一場鮮為人知、卻形塑法律本身的掩蓋行動：我們與生俱來的健康權遭到強行抹除。重新取回這項權利，將改變我們理解自身歷史的方式，也將揭示美國革命仍有哪些部分尚未完成。
本書由「12 月 4 日法律委員會」撰寫。這個匿名集體是籌募超過 150 萬美元、用於 Luigi Mangione 法律辯護費用之基金的幕後團體。《DEPOSE》將美國醫療保健的爭論帶入一個更根本的層次：我們今日所有人共同面對的基本政治問題。
