No, I don't look at insurance as a savings account. I look at insurance as legalized system of extortion. There are very few products that have so much contempt for the customer and offers so little redeeming value that laws have to be passed to make people buy it.
As far as the argument that medical costs can can exceed millions of dollars, they are very far and few between, otherwise your premiums would have to be tens of thousands of dollars per month in order for Insurance companies survive, much less make a profit. For these rare occurrences, bankruptcy courts exist.
I've never heard any of my tenants complain about their rents.

No laws before Obama have ever been passed to make people buy health insurance.

No one previous to the Obama administration was forced to obtain health insurance. It was a successful product people chose for the benefits it offered to offset the disadvantages not having it portended. It provided them a way to offset costs in a way that didn't, like bankruptcy court, tell those owed the money to suffer the loss themselves.

That's probably because they, unlike yourself with health insurance, see renting as a pay-for-use arrangement that meets their housing needs rather than extortion that permits you to take their money without giving them any property in return.

It's evident that you, in addition to being an FR neophyte, are more motivated at maintaining your argument through the use of special and idiosyncratic definitions than anything else, much like those who claim that Nutrasweet is a deadly poison or that mercury amalgam fillings are the cause of a multitude of human ailments.

You have chosen your name well.
