Plan Choice Suggestions What can regular Americans who are fed up with their health insurance do about it?

I’ve written my elected officials in government. What else can we do? It’s depressing and it’s wrong. That people can’t get healthcare easily and affordably. People are dying early because they don’t get the care they need.

Definitely agree. It’s not the one guy every four years, it’s the 435 voted in every two years and the 100 up every 6 years that matter most!

It's state and local elections that matter. The federal government is corrupt beyond repair. Most of the time there isn't even a decent option running for a particular House or Senate seat.

Using the direct ballot initiative process available in 26 states, we could get a state level universal system in place within the next decade.
