If America is being sold out to the Insurance Industry, how about an Insurance Strike?
Advertisements [?]
Now hear me out... I'm just trying to come up with an idea to hit the Insurance Industry and Congress where it hurts, since the they are determined to shut down serious reform.

If everyone stood together, and canceled or opted out of health insurance coverage across the country on the same day, what would it do to the Insurance Industry?

Obviously, if you had serious problems, don't drop coverage, because I'm not suggesting that people cut their own throats.

But how much do insurance companies really pay anymore by the time you pay the co-pay, deductible, and fight them refusing to pay? Even if you have something go wrong, it still doesn't guarantee keeping you out of bankruptcy. Why doesn't everyone stand together and get by just paying out of pocket, since for a lot of people it would be cheaper anyway?

It would send a clear message to our Government that the Insurance Industry cannot be trusted and will not be accepted.

How would Insurance stock perform and who would that really hurt, if they had a massive cancellation across the country?

Any other ideas?
