Insurance is just spreading risk between policy holders while looking for a common denominator of usage to set the premium.

A premium is sort of like a Wall Street bail out at the expense of good managers who get penalized and bad managers that reap benefits. The end result is dilution for everyone, i.e. more money that has less buying power or a policy that gives everyone a lower level of care.

Insurance is also a financial instrument that can be bought, traded and bet on.

Medical tourism to Canada, Mexico, Asia and Eastern Europe will be booming.
