    That is the job of the government. Everyone needs healthcare to one degree or another. If we’re all going to be pooling money anyway it shouldn’t be filtered through a for-profit system first.

    On another note, unless an insurance is mandatory you can usually opt to pay yourself.

    No I can’t. Everything is too expensive because insurance being involved has inflated the costs.

      The cost of insurance goes down the larger the pool of people. The largest pool in a country is everyone, so like utilities it becomes a natural monopoly.

      Natural monopolies should be the purview of the government as they allow for abuse.
