Unfortunately, insurance is insulated from public backlash because it’s not something that is easy to shop around for. Many people get insurance though work and have limited options to start with and a specific time window for make plan changes. When all options equally suck there isn’t an affordable place to switch your business too.
This sort of change would need to be legislated, but public opinion has very little impact on public policy.
Healthcare is broken in the US and no one with any real power to make change will do anything about it because it’s far too profitable the way it is now.
This physically pains me.
