With pushback on Trumpcare, how is it that there is no

pushback directly on insurance companies at the same time from the people? They extort us and the corrupt GOP will strip back regulations for them and pharma. It seems to me that we need some barbs on the protests.

You can push back until you are blue in the face..

But at the end of the day...
They are still the only available source of electricity
(or water,etc) ...

And electricity really is a necessity for most households.....
So, while one may feel better about having pushed back ...
there is zero incentive for the utility provider to care.

If there are only one or two insurance providers in your area...
or only one or two manufacturers of a medication you are prescribed...
then what true leverage is there to be used as an effective push back tool?
