    How can Americans simultaneously hate health insurance CEOs while simultaneously shouting down event attempt to improve healthcare at the ballot?

      Neither party was offering single payer. American voters are stupid as fuck but I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make here.

        Well, as poor as the choices might seem, last time Trump was in power he spent every day not on the golf course trying to sabotage the ACA. It wasn’t exactly a zero sum choice at the ballot box.

          I understand that the democrats are the better choice. But I’m not going to pretend they’re a good or intelligent choice by any stretch of the imagination.

            Of course you are right. But voting for a guy working against your interest, or not voting at all and allowing the steamroller to lay you out make even less sense.

      shouting down event attempt to improve healthcare at the ballot

      Did somebody offer single pay?!

      Also, ACA is how we got here dear. Single payer or more dead CEOs likely IMHO

      There should not be such job as CEO of health insurance company.

        Perhaps there should not be health insurance either. Many other countries fund health care as an obligation to their citizens.

        How did non-medical middle-men get into such a crucial responsibility?

          Hiatory and the Culture of corrupt within us corporates.

          They all operated like Uhc, people just don’t care to understand what this behaviour actually is.

          Luigi got people asking questions about health insurance and that’s beautiful but the bigger pictures is that pretty much all corpos act like this. They are making every aspect of life a miserable experience. Endlessly doing weird shit ranging from out right felonies to mild annoyances, got to squeeze every penny.
