The US healthcare system is like the Titanic: it turns slowly, and you don't want to fuck around with hitting icebergs.

So fucking sink it. All heath "insurers" do is just delay and deny coverage anyway.

Let's think through the implications of that.
The US healthcare system is non-functional for a month: what happens?
Hospitals and providers start running into cash flow problems and begin having difficulties providing service.
Fraud skyrockets because everything is getting blanket-approved because none of the data used for verification is available.
And about a month after that, people start dying from lack of care, after the last financial reserves of the system are exhausted.
Because that's the path the system was on when Change went down for several weeks, only averted by HHS/CMS saying 'Here's money, just do procedures, we'll worry about it later.'
You say this as if people aren't already dying of lack of care. And it's already disintegrating. Check back up in your estimated month as the realities of ACA subsidy drops start to kick in.
