Lots of focus now around the flaws of the american healthcare system. What can we do now to ensure a better future?
People seem to want to kill insurance company CEOs.
My only complaint about this response is everyone that says it is all talk.
If that’s the only option and I don’t see another headline, there are a lot of people doing absolutely nothing.
I agree. This can’t be the solution. It also doesn’t not have to be part of it either.

Quick before someone gets injured by truth!
Right now the US is basically a two-party system with both parties bribbed by the same health insurance companies. The will of the people demands change, yet both parties refuse to implement change.
Withholding your vote does nothing as it’s essentially a two-party system. Voting for one party or the other does nothing as they’re both paid off by the same health insurance companies.
In desperate times when the government no longer represents the people, people turn to vigilantism to solve ongoing problems, as we saw with the killing of the CEO.
It’s going to get a lot worse, there WILL be more killings.
This is getting off topic from the original post, but I did hear an interview on NPR of a few ways to lift the 2 party system. The only one that I can remember now is that each state would need to pass a law to allow the state to split theIR electoral votes. IIRC, Maine and Oklahoma(?) do this. The result is that if a state has 5 electoral votes, they would split the electoral votes amongst the candidates. If I remember the example right, Maine sent 2 votes for Trump, 2 for Harris and 1for someone else.
Initially, this would weaken the state’s country-wide impact, but as more states vote in such a system, it would allow independent candidates to secure a foothold. I imagine that if all states did this, the net effect would be to have the 2 parties that we currently have soften their stance on things in order to secure votes that would normally have been lost to the independent.
I don’t know. But on November 19th I had a stroke, treatment and ICU stay of 3 days was over $200,000. Honestly wish I didn’t survive it, would have been much cheaper.
How much assets do you have?
If you rent and don’t have own much that they can seize, just refuse to pay.
Two ways forward.
1: Universal healthcare as seen in Canada.
2: Private heath coverage with strict price controls set by the government as seen in Japan.M4A
I think you’re worried about the deck chairs on a sinking ship, at this point.
Ummmmm, we have a perfect example in the news right now
- Saying “American Healthcare System” there’s no such thing.
There are many, many disparate elements to medicine in the US. Understanding all those elements and how they relate is primary.
In the USA, single payer. But that will never happen under fucking Trump
I know it may sound callous, but if you have skills. A lot of countries are looking to fill skill shortages, you could emigrate to somewhere with a sensible health system.
Failing that, as someone else pointed out. Grassroots action!
Get involved, change the narrative build up from local level. Shooting CEO’s is not a long term solution, yes it grabbed attention, yes it showed how fucked off the population really is… build on that momentum.The healthcare costs in America will ensure there’s no transfer of wealth between generations.
It’s not complicated. When it becomes more profitable for politicians to help the oligarchs than it does for them to help the working class, things will improve. So pick a politician helping the oligarchs and make it very “unprofitable” for them.
Deregulation
What have you tried?
