Basically pass something through government channels to wrest the service from the hands of individualized businesses wearing the skins of hospitals and the business complex of health insurance… Like every other nation who has a social system did at some point in the past.
It’s kind of easy to forget but like sanitation, fire service, post, police services, hospitals, secular school systems … Those were all exclusively the domain of for profit businesses once. Just because something currently lines someone’s private pockets doesn’t mean that makes it untouchable. It has all been done before. Just wiping out the third party insurance companies alone and socializing the insurance would probably do wonders.
That won’t work for the federal government. The people have no mechanism to put forth legislation (or to recall elected officials, which I see being a huge problem pretty soon).
That there is no tried and true fix for. The US is an old Democracy with a massive cultural complex around not changing anything a founding father sneezed on. There’s some weird exploits in the 9th and 10th Amendments that could potentially cause a massive melt down if a sitting government decided to ever try and use them but it is just theoretical and anti-originalist so it’s unlikely.
I look at the US government being in a death spiral as a separate but related problem. If your air conditioning isn’t working and your engine is busted, the air conditioner isn’t really your first priority.
Continue to support policies (thus Politicians (i.e. Democrats)) that want to give everyone access to healthcare, regardless of economic status. This would mean never voting for Republicans as they are opposed to this.
The last time Democrats controlled the House and Senate for more than a single term was with Jimmy Carter, 1977-1981 [0]. It’s hard to make progress when Republicans are willing to shut the government down to prove how bad the government is. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Isn’t your whole thing “by the people, for the people”? The people are an overweight zombie staring into a TV slurping an empty soda.
Seeing this from the outside is absolutely crazy. You guys are so, so, SO passive.
You’re becoming poorer and poorer, your world is quite literally burning and drying up, quality of life has bottomed in a way no one even a generation ago would even imagine.
You’ve offered no real actual actions though. Change… What? To what?
Your world is also quite literally burning and drying up. You could share your clearly superior wisdom instead of just dunking on Americans, which is frankly low hanging fruit anyway.
It’s sad. What’s the solution?

I’m not sure, but it won’t be televised.

How has it been 60 years of the same shit and you guys don’t pick up on it? What’s going on over there?

Lol, you think it’s the ruling party that’s the problem? That’s what I mean, how are you just duck in this loop of thinking.
You change. Stop asking and start doing?

You’re becoming poorer and poorer, your world is quite literally burning and drying up, quality of life has bottomed in a way no one even a generation ago would even imagine.
And what do you do? I mean…
You’ve offered no real actual actions though. Change… What? To what? Your world is also quite literally burning and drying up. You could share your clearly superior wisdom instead of just dunking on Americans, which is frankly low hanging fruit anyway.
So what do you do?
Stop asking what to do. What’s wrong with you?
Ah so your call to action is… Inaction? Very enlightening, thanks.
Nothing is gonna change if you keep behaving like this.
