Feasible
The number of people who think that healthcare in the USA is just about perfect is evidently quite high - or the situation would change. So, it probably is easier than you think. There’s a lot of healthy people out there.
Actually, even if you go national, very few people like our system (something like 20% iirc?). And in NY? Fat chance.
You’ve got Citizens United, so both parties are pretty much in the pockets of insurance. They’ll just ignore that desire until more Luigis show up.
That’s also an outlook that needs to change. The billionaires want to keep you just happy enough and just nihilistic enough that you don’t revolt.

* not sick yet
Everybody gets sick evtl. and if health care isn’t available chances are it won’t get better or it’ll leave permanent marks.

I have a friend with lupus who votes Trump. She is very, very ill and will be bankrupt soon.

Very good point. That’s the “it couldn’t happen to me” attitude which is just ignorant.
