NEW YORK, Dec 11 (Reuters) - In the days since Luigi Mangione was charged with murder for gunning down a top health insurance executive, more than a thousand donations have poured into an online fundraiser for his legal defense, with messages supporting him and even celebrating the crime.

Most of the messages on the crowd-sourced fundraising site GiveSendGo reflect a deep frustration shared by many Americans over the U.S. healthcare system - where some treatments and reimbursements can be denied to patients depending on their insurance coverage - as well as broader anger over rising income inequality and soaring executive pay.

    I think the healthcare system in my part of Canada has really been going to shit. ER wait times are ridiculous but I think a large part is from a lack of family doctors.

    Instead of the general practitioners seeing people, people are just going to the ER for the most basic thing, but we don’t really have another choice. But I still haven’t experienced any issues with insurance coverage.
