I don’t see why men should subsidise the health insurance of women or why women should subsidise the car insurance of men. I don’t see why the young should subsidise the health insurance of the old.

This is what happens when you don’t go outside. At all.

I 100% agree with him: nobody should subsidize the health insurance of anyone else.

… because all health insurance is a scam to extract the maximum money from the most desperate and instill fear of unexpected bills in the rest.

Fuck health insurance, we need a public healthcare system.

Most societies with public healthcare structure them as insurance, but with the entire population as the recipients and contributions usually linked to income.

Not that my comment was meant to be about health care…… but How do you imagine public health works. ?

Sorry my hyperbolic meme comment was nuanced enough:

Obviously public systems function similarly, my point was that a for profit middleman is a terrible system that we should dismantle.

@sue_me_please what if health insurance was actually a Christmas club?

Or, hear me out, a bimonthly currated box of pills.
