And leftists spend half their day crying about the military and police, what makes you think giving government the keys to health insurance would work any better?

To bleed more money out of people by convincing them they need 2 different farts in 2 different boxes instead of one? Next question.

Same can be said for most health insurance. A lot of the problems people need healthcare for are easily preventable chronic conditions. I always hear people talking about how we need better medical insurance, but I don't hear nearly as many people talk about how we need to take more personal responsibility of our health.

@Blackmark52 let's just assume people's intentions, because that's an honest and thoughtful way of understanding differing views.

@Blackmark52 doctors and other health care providers have to get paid, otherwise nobody would do it. That money either comes from the government through a series of beaurocratic stooges, or it comes from people paying them directly for a service.

@Blackmark52 what guy are you talking about?

@Blackmark52 good point. So why do we have to have insurance in the first place?

@kimberlydragone6015 I'm pretty sure everyone knows that, some people just don't care.

Why do we even need insurance in the first place? Most people don't even think critically about this, they just accept that you need it because everyone says they need it.

@NoName-cn3cp if all insurance was voluntary, the rates would be a fraction of what they are. Let's say car insurance is no longer required by law, it would still definitely be a good idea to have it, because a lot of people can't afford to fix their car out of pocket if they get in a wreck that's not their fault. But you don't have to. An insurance company offers it for $200 a month, you can just say nah that's dumb, I'm good. They could probably charge $20 a month and still turn a profit. They just charge the ridiculous rates they do because they can, because your only option is another company, you don't have the option of just saying no all together. And I've heard the old argument about people leaving the scene if they don't have insurance, blah blah, people already do that anyway, they don't leave because they don't have insurance, they leave because it's illegal to not have insurance. We could still track down hit and run offenders with or without insurance. Same principles apply to absolutely all forms of insurance.
