The first order of business is to recognize the difference between insurance and welfare.
Responsible people pay for real insurance and they have to take care of no one who is not paying.
Irresponsible people roll into the welfare medical system and the taxpayers foot their bill.
Comingling the two is a cynical lie meant to fail from the get-go.
For-profit insurance companies love programs like Medicare.
They can shove off their least-profitable customers, the ones most likely to get sick, onto the public treasury. While keeping hold of the more profitable ones.
Privatize profits and socialize losses.
They can’t have it both ways either.
“Responsible people pay for real insurance”
Does your car insurance pay for oil changes? Does your homeowners insurance pay for dishwasher detergent?
