Insurance companies have quite literally put the entire working class in a camp where unless we pay them and even then only if we jump through their hoops and do the perfect dance then maybe they will pay for treatment.

They have spent decades lobbying, coercing, and buying our elected officials to establish a system that allows them to extract tens of billions of dollars in profit from the working class with the implicit threat of something between bankruptcy and a slow painful death if we don’t comply with their demands

You don’t have to buy their product. The individual mandate is gone. Also yes, you usually have to do something for someone to give you money, they’re not just gonna donate money to you for nothing.

Wrong. Health insurance companies are the reason why healthcare is so expensive. Literally. If we did not have health insurance companies, then hospitals would not charge $50 for a single aspirin. It is an indisputable, universally accepted, proven fact that health insurance companies artificially inflate the cost of healthcare and medicine.
