and all those who think "more pain" will bring about their glorious revolution.
And that is: add YOUR pain to that equation.
So, for instance, if the ACA is repealed, announce publicly that you will go without health care until single payer is passed and every American is covered. Until then, no annual checkup. No antibiotics. Certainly nothing cosmetic or "unnecessary,"--nothing that someone without health insurance and major bucks couldn't access.
Gandhi was willing to add his OWN pain to the equation by starving himself nearly to death to protest British imperialism and other political violence. Ms. Sarandon, if you die due to a lack of proper health care, perhaps your sacrifice will wake up the unwashed masses and inspire them to get out there and work work work for the revolution.
Add YOUR pain to the equation, and let's see what happens.
Just a thought.

And then join their ranks.
It seems obvious to me--if the idea is that more pain will bring about social change, then why not add her pain?
It will certainly get her fans talking.
She's willing to see millions lose their health insurance as part of a great social experiment. How could adding herself to that number possibly be bad?
