the problem is that in this case insurance also creates buying pools that mean they pay less for the same services as some individual going to the hospital off the street, and we are talking about a 40% price differential so this is not insignificant. Unfortunately in our case the insurance industry not only allows to cover statistically insignificant events, but also manages to subsidize itself off the public, that is the real problem imho.

Actually, I know how it works.

The debate is what it is.

You are of the opinion that it is some sort of valuable service.

I think we should have national health insurance like the rest of the civilized world and be competitive in our producing industries rather than have the fattest pigmen who add no value to the health system and exist solely to create profit from the inherent weakness of the human condition....
