Do you have to be a slave to fight against slavery?
To be a Lower Class Hero and Icon you have to be Lower Class, yes.
Nobody called John Brown the Slave Hero or the living symbol of a Slave fighting oppression.
People's perception of Luigi is fantasy fiction.
Have you ever heard of class solidarity? It’s not us = poor vs them = rich, it’s us = people who have to work vs them = people make money off us working. The fact that this “upper class” dude had to suffer at the hands of the healthcare system should have tipped you off that he’s one of us - the bourgeois don’t have to worry about healthcare.
You can praise Luigi for betraying his class but I don't see any reason to replace the truth with fanfiction.
So you really think the ruling class have to struggle with healthcare?! The fact that he took such drastic measures because of having the same damn fight with the insurance companies that you and I have to do is proof. And if that shit about his mom is true, then clearly they are not bourgeoisie.
No I don't think Luigi had any problem at all getting his spinal surgeries funded.
Probably because that was before he was 26 and kicked off his parents insurance plan. You’re doing as much speculation as me, we don’t know, so why are you so adamant?
Even without insurance he could get it all covered.

Refer to the top level comment in this thread.
His Private High School was $37,690 a year (or possibly semester, unclear). He then attended an Ivy League University.
His grandfather Nick Mangione was a wealthy Real Estate magnate. One of his properties was the Turf Valley Resort luxury retreat and conference center, and also the Hayfields Country Club north of Baltimore. The family had their own foundation to give to various charities including the Catholic Church, Universities, and Hospitals. They've donated over a million to Greater Baltimore Medical Center alone. Luigi's Father is the current head of Mangione Family Enterprises.
As a other said, family wealth =|= personal wealth. In the end, you could be right. I don’t really care either way, though.
