MODERATORS
commoditization of a safety net negates its purpose. its gross to even consider privatizing.
its bad enough insurance company profits exist only when human beings suffer. can we stop with the profiteering maybe a little?
I like your message, but insurance companies actually profit when everything is going great. Insurance companies would like nothing more than for everyone to be perfect, and never need to file a claim.
any for profit insurance only makes money by denying claims. they cant possibly cover all claims. its an inherent property of insurance and why its more like gambling than anything. the profit piece just means more money is siphoned away from the distributed responsibility.
with health insurance that claim is a human suffering
Oh like you don't want people to just go to hell? XD
