Discussion on healthcare in the US (lemmy.world)

Everyone knows by now, how much the US healthcare system sucks and tries to funnel money from people’s pockets at every chance.

How do you think this will play out in the upcoming years? Is there anything the common person can do to end this ridiculous system? Do we even have the power to change anything by asking for it in numbers?

How exactly would people take these matters into their own hands?

That is the question I’m asking. Sure we can blame person X, but nobody who can be put in the place of X cares about the problem. So what can we do to at least get this boat going? I want to brainstorm so that we can actually get shit done instead of waiting for the “leaders” to do it for us.

You can start an insurance company.

Well, Trump won and Republicans took every branch... So we're going to see deep cuts to healthcare across the board. The government decides our healthcare. I don't know what you're talking about with brainstorming.
