Do you realize that insurance does nothing to maintain your health I surely do, and had you actually read my posts you would understand that I do. And that I think (as you seem to think) that insurance adds complication and expense and is not necessary. And being a 'non-profit' doesn't mean you don't make a profit --- profit is needed, much like a 'management allowance', is needed to account for unanticipated costs, saving seed for next year or in case of famine. Government agencies also make a 'profit' (payments is excess of direct costs) but are able to shovel it into things such as liberal work conditions and pensions. Then why are you fixated on insurance? Or are you? Have you ever had a big idea? No. I have never had a big idea, such as communism or socialism or 1984 or conscription. I would guess you have. Would you care to share them with us? R2O
