What people say on Reddit doesn't really have any significance. IIRC, the entire legal system is pretty hostile to the concept of jury nullification, and I'm pretty there will be giant roadblocks in front of what those Redditors want.
It's not hard to find 12 citizens who have spent their whole lives on government VA / Medicaid / Medicare health plans and have no direct experience with private health insurance companies.
