I find your confidence in the stupid American voting population strange.

In other words, I don't believe that they'll do anything like what you're implying they will.

> the stupid American voting population

That seems a little unfair. I'd say they're more insulated than stupid. But when people inside their bubble start losing subsidies and getting hammered with the true cost of coverage, that might be enough to break through to some of them.

This bill is going to end up killing people (through the removal of health insurance for the poor and those with "pre existing conditions"); even your most uninformed voter will come around once this starts being put into place.

I'm hoping for riots, but will accept replacing representatives through the voting process.

I'm pessimistic that this will ever be known by those in swing states, let alone cared about. I've traveled to those places and met people there. They have normalized death due to medical complications and drug addiction. Why should more people dying make a difference there?

Our health care story in the United States has been killing people for decades, yet here we are.
