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.

Even the big general elections have a lot of local measures and state laws that are on the ballot.

If you don’t feel comfortable voting for a president or any of the other major ones, you can leave those blank and vote on the others.

That’s what my partner does. Just refuses to vote for a president, but votes for everything else.

That's what I do. I leave federal elections blank unless a candidate is super compelling, which is rare. Meanwhile, I vote in EVERY state and local election on my ballot.

I always vote, I’ve gone third party left things blank when I didn’t have a good candidate. I do it and recognize it’s important but federally it’s the same bs it’s always been. Some politician who is taking money and orders from the right people and doesn’t do a damn thing for me or any other working class person. Dems do at least maintain the suffering and don’t exasperate it but don’t actually do anything.
