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.

I can only hope. Seems every time the try something (Obamacare aka affordable health care) it gets gutted by the republicans. Or re-voted out of existence.

The more I’ve watched the more I’m convinced that they just don’t fight that hard. Republicans will have some crazy requests when they are the minority and gain ground and dems will have a supermajority and compromise to nothing most times. It gets gutted because democrats don’t have any guts.

Yeah, they tend to give up too easy, then again they always compromise or the govt gets shut down.

I feel like they are like “ oh no please don’t do exactly what my donors want, oh no, you did it, well let me tell my voters how naughty you are, oh no.

The ACA was approved by insurance companies. Romney would have passed the same thing.
