If private insurance companies are lobbying to prevent Medicare for All because they’d lose their business, then make them the claims processors. Like, the government pays the bill, but the carrier process the claim as a contractor to the government. That way they can still be publicly trades and still keep their profit margin, and people still get guaranteed healthcare. They’d even be able to keep what they’ve killed in previous profit, and they’d not have to be the source of funds for actual claims.
Since there are a few companies, maybe we could even use a regional distribution of the populace for who has which card on their wallet. So maybe the east coast has Blue Cross Blue Shield, the west coast has Aetna, and the central states have Kaiser?
This way everyone wins: heal insurance keeps in business and still makes money; the people have healthcare; and the government improves the lives of its population, has fewer bankruptcies, and can tax the revenue of its contactors like they do with their current contractors.
Or we can start outlawing them on the state and local level effectively knocking out their feet from under them. You are assuming that they have infinite resources but being liked is a resource and everyone fucking hates them, while it’ll definitely be uphill battle the problem thus far has been that it’s a singular approach. Also if the supreme court says no you can’t do that, fuckem they will make their decision now enforce it.
You wish to play their stupid little game, I wish to burn everything they love and care about to cinders. If they continue to cause issues regardless just start killing them and burning things, not like society will lose anything.
Until more people start doing Luigi stuff, this is t.he practical step forward.
Also, if there were many more Luigis, do you think the rich wouldn’t get their government goons to respond? Of course they would, and look at how ICE is acting. Yes, guillotines are going to be the ultimate solution, but not today. I don’t know about you, but I’m not willing to lose what little family I have left to a drone strike or a goon squad. So, the next generation can start chopping heads.
You think I want to go after the heads of these shitheels, no I wish to burn every scrap of infrastructure to the ground if need be. We can start with their office building then move on from there its rather hard to stop someone from breaking into a server building and setting a diesel fire. Eventually people will stop wanting to work for them and their insurance primiums will ironically go up and up and up.
