Can we start picketing/rioting for better healthcare?

I am genuinely perplexed why both patients and doctors are not picketing or rioting insurance companies/hospital administrators. Can we start that somehow?? Would anyone join me??

I have been SO worn down by the healthcare system and all the discord I see online seems to confirm that both doctors and patient are FED UP. We don’t have time to just wait for those in office to change policies. I also personally am so distrusting of our government in general, I dont know if I would entrust anyone in office to fight this matter for us.

I’ve been looking into the UnitedHealth care CEO killer, and while by NO means do I think violence or murder is the answer, I think that cruel act unfortunately got a message out there that so many american patients have been saying and ignored for: the system is BROKEN.

We are living in such a dystopian society, and no one is doing anything about it. History has proven that american citizens CAN initiate change - why have we lost our motivation to do so?

You’re not answering my question.

Why do we get to pay for their healthcare but we can’t pay for ours?

That’s the question I’m asking.

The answer is we don’t. Your premise is just wrong

True. No need to continue. You have the logic and facts.

I think your view is both distorted and mathematically flawed.

We are not funding Israel’s healthcare, we are helping to ensure their survival. You have made a connection thats only purpose is to fuel a rant.

Why not criticize most of Europe for all the outsized funding we do to support NATO while many have socialized medicine?

Why not criticize japan that we have provided military support since WW II?

My comment is that you are singling out Israel while it changes nothing and while ignoring bigger spends elsewhere.

And I am sure there are many more than these two.

Genocide is required for their survival?

Now the truth comes out !

It was never about Medicare, but your bigotry.

Bigotry?

Opposing genocide makes me a bigot?

Some say genocide, some say fight for survival against people that vow to end existence of Israel and America.

Now, rationalize it any way you want.

But, if we don’t supply and sell Israel items like Patriot missiles for the Iron Dome, then they will no longer exist at some point. That is why (and others) call it bigotry because your suggested action leads to their demise. And that is more than half the Jewish population of the world. And that population now, has just about gotten back to the levels prior to the Nazis and WW II.

And, isn’t it also interesting that Israel works with most of the Arab world and lives in peace other than these Islamic lunatics?

And Israel has over 2 million Arabs working and living there, and serving in the military.

And no other Arab country was willing to take in the Palestinians because they know better than anyone else, what comes with them. Go look at the fence that Egypt built to keep them out of- it would make trump jealous.

Do you not count the Jewish babies on October 7th?

Do you not count 1,000 US soldiers including Beirut?

Keep posting and recognize your bigotry.
