Do away with insurance companies and make lobbying illegal.

Human nature and greed are already accounted for in our constitution. We already have the tools to make the change we want. No one's really getting up to do it though. We all screech from our couches and then continue on our day like its the latest news fad.

The wealthy have to crumble for anything to truly change here.

But like how? The representatives that can make the changes are in the pockets of the people benefiting from the system. What can you and I do to change the system?
