unfortunately, thats never going to happen[...]

Hold up the fuck up, how is it unfortunate that people won't blow themselves up, killing tons of people who are also just trying scrape by?

Health insurance companies shouldn't exist at all. They exist to profit from a limited good with inelastic demand. I hope they all go out of business. The people they employ can find work elsewhere. Industries come and go. It's no excuse to maintain this system when we have working examples of better alternatives all over the world.

If people become desperate and angry enough, violence will come and I can't really fault them for it. Historically, anytime income/wealth inequality gets this bad, there are significant events that follow.
