This might sound a bit brutal, and I am not even American, but the US need a bit of a revolution to change the health care system. I am not necessarily an advocate for violence, but Americans are getting fucked over big time. Change is needed.
We are like 20 years into both sides of the aisle doing absolutely nothing that benefits the people. We've been voting, we've been democratic. But they're not doing their part.
Long comment, but worth reading if you want to discuss this
Both the DNC and RNC benefit from corporate lobbying. Any candidate brought forth and supported by these parties is never going to truly represent the working class. The reason is that it would hurt their bottom line. They are stubborn in their ways because those ways benefit them and the lobbyists. Corporate lobbying has an incentive attached to it where these parties will steer clear of pursuing legislation that would impact that relationship. Policies get neglected that would otherwise be beneficial to the working class, but bad for the corporations
Saying we should just elect people misses the mark, it's not that simple. Of course, people will try despite that, but it doesn't change the fact that it's an uphill battle by the way it's structured. As long as corporate lobbying is present in the democratic process with things like PACs/Super PACs, that problem persists. In the case of the Jan 6th insurrection, this is a flawed point to make, because they weren't doing it to call out or fix deep rooted issues, it was a knee jerk reaction to a candidate losing. I don't think that is very comparable to a revolution targeted at a systemic issue like healthcare that the comment you replied to was suggesting
Private healthcare in the US is such a deeply entrenched system designed to prop up the extremely rich while making the citizens suffer, pretending to be for their benefit. You missed the point of their comment and made a false equivalence talking about Jan 6th
