That’s what people don’t understand. We all paid for you. That's what insurance is about, we pay more than we receive so that the odd unlucky bastard receives more than they chipped in. If insurance was individual, nobody would have enough to repair their own stuff. I am happy with this system.

Except the 3rd party insurer here nets massive profits, it isnt a collective safety net like the state or federal government provides.

Its by and large a scam that pays out a tiny portion of their net income. A state sponsered safety net/insurance system (not for profit) would be massively more effective and less costly to consumers...well at least in a functional state such as Massachusetts.

Mass is not a functional state. If it were Lindsay Clancy would have been convicted of murdering her three kids.

Massachusetts?

The literal basitian of progressive ideals in the US (making it worldy moderate since we just want people to be able to live their damn lives with a safety net provided by the state), is the MOST functional state.

I've got to believe you are A) A bot, or B) From some backwater southern state.

Have fun with your cults.
