Health insurance.....any insurance.....is pure socialism. Except it's done by a corporation with shareholders instead of a central government.
When a carrier takes a hit for a claim what do they do, if they pay it or not? They pass the losses amongst their pool of policy holders. They don't take the hit even though they may have collected 1000 times what that claim may be. THEY SPREAD THE LOSSES AROUND....and keep the premiums.
You should hear the bitching up here from the people in southeast PA whose property insurance has skyrocketed even though their homes were not affected by Sandy last year. Go anywhere in the country where there has been a natural disaster. The insurance companies are NOT taking the hit. The policy holders are.
Insurance is the biggest fraud ever and health insurance is the worst form of this fraud because a consumer can choose to own a home, car, boat, commercial business, etc. But you cannot choose to be born.

Who's getting fucked here?
Okay, the liberals say everyone is entitled to force all medical personnel into servitude because no one chose to be born. And no one is even the slightest bit responsible for their own well-being. It's all on government. Well, I'm sure the smartest people will rush to medical school now.
People who spend their EBT card money on tattoos, casinos, nail and hair salons, liquor stores, junk food and strip joints are probably totally subsidized on health care because they can't afford it. They are what brought us down. The damn attitude that they are entitled to everything just because they exist has taken it's toll.
Now that Obamacare is here, all of us have to undergo body fat measures, they are putting more sin taxes on cigarettes and they are seeking to ban transfats and anything else they don't want us to have. They are planning to control people's behavior except when it comes to unplanned pregnancies. We are still expected to pay for the poor choices made by many. Most of them are uninsured or drawing welfare and Medicaid, so we pay for everything. Yet, the left doesn't say a word about the welfare crowd, as if they are so helpless that they can't possibly be held responsible for the mess they're in.
What is more expensive each year, paying for insured people when they have heart attacks or paying for all the illegitimate children born to uninsured single moms and illegal aliens? The welfare system gobbles up tax dollars like crazy, yet the left focuses on fat people and smokers, saying they are what is dragging us down.
Government has been too involved in health care for decades. By not allowing competition for insurance companies and allowing big pharms to have a monopoly by banning the purchase of medicines from other countries, the government has insured that prices went through the roof. And now they pretend to be the solution.
Are liberals so scared of everything in life that they want the government holding their hand every day? The government has never done anything to earn such a trust, yet some people act as if they are the answer to all of life's problems. It's pathetic.
