Did Mangione's even have personal beef with UNH, or even with the insurance industry? I thought he wasn't covered by UNH, and although he had a botched back surgery, he wasn't denied coverage?

Mangione is an Ivy League engineer from a wealthy East coast family, while Thompson was a Iowa state school accountant whose father worked on grain elevators.
