Like some pantomime of those bizarre fictional bureaucracies seen in Beetlejuice, Loki, or at best, Monsters Inc. Imagine getting stymied, deferred, redirected, misdirected, sloughed off, and dismissed by administrators and clerks who know full-well that your life or death is on the line.
That’s the reality for these people getting systematically and entirely legally fucked around, and you’re right, they often don’t have the resources to fight owing largely to their poor health - being subjected to unnecessary suffering as a means to get them just give up, go away, and die somewhere that no one has to see. Mangione is unequivocally a hero, these people are legitimately, maliciously evil. State and federal legislators either can’t or are unwilling to stop them, but so few victims are even able to “air their grievances face-to-face” that the bulk will never see justice for what was done to them.
