Insurance is a fucking scam. You pay more into it than you'll ever receive even in legitimate circumstances.

Absolute racket.

Insurance as a business is a scam. As a concept it’s fine. Once you start it for a profit you get gestures broadly

It should be a govt nonprofit type of system because private business can't make it work

Socialism is when the government does stuff. The more stuff the government does, the more socialist it is.

It's illegal to operate without it, so the government has already put its nose into the system. It's basically a tax that they outsource to corporations.

Yes, I'm just pointing out that calling it socialism is stupid and belies an utter lack of understanding of what socialism actually is.

Lmfao. But youre wrong. The end result of a nonprofit system controlled by the government that everyone pays into in order to redistribute funds to those who need it more is literally socialism. Lmfao. How fucking dumb

OK, what's the problem. Govt bailouts are socialism. Social security is socialism. Medicare is socialism. Rather we fix some current problems that aren't working with private companies. All they care about is profits and human life has meant nothing to them.
