health insurance, but that's a different discussion entirely

Is it really? In the end it's just another bet. Depending on how often you get sick, and how much it costs to treat/cure you, someone will end up getting more money from the other. And chances are they will be the lucky ones, and that's why they are profitable.

no. There are behind-the-scenes deals between insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies to ensure that it's always going to be cheaper to pay for insurance than pay for medication directly. That's how it is in america. again, a different discussion entirely.

Oh, okay. So the client is likely to bring more money in then they pay in premiums? And the companies are still profitable. So... This extra money comes from where? Santa?

on average, you come out behind. the argument for insurance is it greatly reduces the variance in your potential loss. losing several thousand over a lifetime for insurance vs being in debt for life.

No.
Definately losing several thousand over a lifetime for insurance, or a small chance of being in debt for life'''.

Health insurance should be free for all, as it is the government's duty to protect its citizens.

I wish to have a perfect mix of free-market enterprise and socialism. There will be little corporal interference by the government and vice-versa and it make revenue for its social services from leasing land. It would be perfect!
