- AussieWog93 5y agoYou mention guns, but I'm honestly surprised that pharmaceutical executives being gunned down by grieving family members isn't a daily occurrence. Given the number of gun owners and the number of pharmaceutical companies that let people die in agony to keep the medical insurance industry afloat, it should surely be a serious enough problem to warrant changes in corporate policy.
- talideon 5y agoThere are two relatively straightforward things you can do that will help the situation: (a) vote, and (b) campaign to move to get some form of proportional representation become the voting system in your state, both for statewide and national elections. A major reason why you've entrenched interests is that they have safe seats they can depend on. The US has major issues with acts of gerrymandering that create those safe seats. Most forms of PR are much more resistant to gerrymandering than FPTP is. And if you want people who'll do something regarding healthcare costs, you need to get rid of those safe seats and make them accountable.
