You buy insurance to cover the things you can’t afford to pay or finance by yourself.

Insurance is nothing but a form of financing.

My answer to that w/b for the government to have a limited charity hospital system for those who won’t or can’t pay.

That would take all charity cases away from the mainstream hospital system and finally do something to lower costs.

That used to be the case before Medicare & Medicaid. Local doctors took their share of the poor folks in a area and everyone got taken care of.

If you’re paying cash lots of doctors & hospitals will give you a discount.

Never...repeat never accept the Marxists premise when starting a discussion.

Corollary: Never, EVER, accept a Marxist's word definitions without question. The words they use don't mean the same to them as they do to you.

To be like the new FEDERAL health insurance law, auto insurance would have to cover routine maintenance, parts replacements, and just about everything else...for other people's cars.

I don’t see why they don’t go back to it if it worked?

[wordsofearnest]

Because now we have “welfare rights” and State & federal mandates and too damn many trial lawyers.
