Registered to vote, told this story to the Bernie Sanders campaign, told it again for 4 days at the HLTH 2023 conference in Vegas. And I’ll keep telling it until something changes…
I hate to say this, but you are asking for meaningful change in a trillion dollar industry. It’s not going to happen through stories, public awareness, or by any other peaceful means.
That’s why I partnered with a company called Savvy Coop and was invited to the HLTH 2023 conference in Las Vegas last week.
I had many good meetings with providers and health companies telling my story and our team was maybe a dozen or so patients with multiple medical conditions.
It’s getting out there. I’ll be on a podcast tomorrow.
So what, they should just give up? No. Change will happen as more and more people resist the status quo.
It may seem slow, it may be painful, it may feel like it’s never going to actually work but you’ve got to keep going because one day and all of a sudden it will.
Of course they shouldn’t give up! I’m just saying, that’s not going to be enough.

You’re deluding yourself. The wealthy will NEVER part with that much money willingly.
Trump is splintering his party though. Progress can’t happen as long as he’s around, Democrats have to pick up “moderates” (on the US Scale) and that puts everything else on pause. Pushing a progressive agenda now would just amplify Trump and potentially pull those moderates to him.
If we need more parties and more voices, then we need voting reform. FPTP always devolves down to two primary parties. Any secondary party would just be spoiler candidates.

I survived open heart surgery, telling my story is the only action I can take these days. :)
We need EVERYBODY like you telling their story

Who said anything about them doing it willingly?
They won’t part with money for 9/11 responders dying from cancer, the rest of us have no hope.

It was rough when Bernie had his own heart event, and I use the word “event” because it sounds more festive.
I told my wife “Well, he’s done.” Even if he has the energy to be President, nobody will vote for someone with a heart condition.
It’s a tough thing to recover from, even now, five years later, I don’t have the energy, focus, or acuity I had from before. :(
