I think there's some genuine confusion in this comment. Do you think that you are helping Americans get healthcare by... not working for healthcare companies?

Most of these startups are aimed at improving access via telemedicine, accessibility apps, price comparison apps, etc. I'm not sure what you're imagining.

Nope, I'm helping Americans get universal healthcare in other ways.

But I'm acknowledging that for me personally, working for, selling my talent to and/or profiting from the "healthcare" industry as it exists today without a universal option to provide healthcare to every American, full stop, is a breach of my own ethics.

I think it's more likely you are doing nothing meaningful at all to help Americans get healthcare, and feel better about it by making cheap posture posts online.
