Insurance

I would consider healthcare to be a public utility and, without exception, any commercial enterprise trying to make money out of a public utility always ends in tears. The Right loves to call that sort of thinking communism/socialism/whatever but that's actually untrue. It's simply common sense borne out of experience.

May be an image of 1 person and text that says 'Max Kennerh @MaxKennerly A notable aspect of private health insurance is the absence of any reason for it to exist. It does not contain costs, expand coverage, or expedite care care-it makes those all worse. Its ts sole function is to profit as a rent-seeking middleman between patients and providers.'
