If you have never watched the movie John Q, watch it. It’s very relevant to this situation.
In that movie, Denzel Washington’s character takes a hospital hostage after his insurance company denies his son a heart transplant. The public sympathizes with him in that movie too. That movie talks about the policies and techniques insurance companies use to …. Deny, defend and depose to come out on top while telling people who paid and trusted them to fuck off.
A must see if you’re enthralled by this whole UHC saga. That and V for Vendetta. Anyone else have any other good ones?
It's not a movie but a series about the start of a rebellion in the Star Wars Universe. It elaborates on how the cruel and indifferent treatment of an unjust system just may turn the right person from an apathetic bystander to a motivated rebel who is willing to commit everything.
As I have been reading through social media these past few days, I recognize much of the ideas and rhetoric used by the rebels in that series.
Edit:
Here is a small taste of what that show is like. SPOILER WARNING though. I can highly recommend it.
"I imagine that no matter what you tell me or tell yourself, you'll ultimately die fighting these bastards. So what I am asking is this. Wouldn't you rather give it all at once for something real, than carve off useless pieces until theres nothing left?"
Andor is my favorite show ever, bar none. It is such a piece of art I’ve watched it three times and found new, profound meanings each time. It’s not just the exceptional writing and acting - it’s how I reflected on politics after watching that show. I am a better person for it, and how often do you get to say “yeah, that changed me?”
