    I’m certain the same thing would happen if everyone switched away from Anthem at the same time during this open enrollment period.

    Respectfully, how many people even have that option? I have a choice between two plans at one company. My wife has two or three more options through her job, also through the same company. We can’t even get ACA because we have insurance offered through work.

    The only way for us to leave our insurance company is to change jobs or just go without insurance (which you don’t get any extra money for to offset the cost).

    The system is set up in such a way that we can’t make meaningful collective choices. I’m not condoning murder, but they’ve deliberately left us with few opportunities to vote with our wallets. It’s little wonder someone got creative about messaging.

      It’s also set up to make it incredibly difficult to be self-employed. Tying lifesaving medical procedures to corporate servitude ensures that the vast majority of people have no choice but to go work for the wealthy.
