For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

I know it may sound callous, but if you have skills. A lot of countries are looking to fill skill shortages, you could emigrate to somewhere with a sensible health system.

Get involved, change the narrative build up from local level. Shooting CEO’s is not a long term solution, yes it grabbed attention, yes it showed how fucked off the population really is… build on that momentum.

Deregulation

What have you tried?

Ummmmm, we have a perfect example in the news right now

direct action

we’ve already seen how successful propaganda of the deed can be. but will it actually produce change, or just lead to repression? it has at least communicated the extent to which Americans are disgruntled - not just the deed itself, but the overwhelmingly positive reaction to it.

general strikes, boycotts, other demonstrations might be a possibility. you need an effective campaign to get people on the same page.

Protest, riot, strike, etc. The government is owned by the robber barons. Aligning healthcare with a profit motive is violence of the highest order and we should respond in kind.

There are many, many disparate elements to medicine in the US. Understanding all those elements and how they relate is primary.

Kill insurance company CEOs.
