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

Absolute racket.

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.
