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.

If have employer based health insurance, complain to your HR / benefits department. If HR gets enough complaints and complaints are legitimate, the company will consider changing health plans...we did this at one of my previous employers and we changed plans the next fiscal year......other avenues..Vote...Complain to elected officials...if insurance company has flagrant issues, complain to insurance board of your state.....For me,, as I am nearing retirement, I will live outside of the USA and not give my money to the American Healthcare money grabbing machine. We have great healthcare workers and such...as I am one ...it is that the method of payment is shameful. Our system is convoluted and it should not be that way.
