You've moved the goalposts....Claiming that people should be covered by insurance for pre-existing conditions is a separate issue from the pharmaceutical-industrial complex being a big scam.That you're not a car doesn't change the nature of how insurance works... How does you not being a car and claiming an exigent circumstance, obviate the laws of economics and render the actuarial models of how insurance companies work and stay in operation entirely null and void?...Your temporary acute situation suspends all reality, and demands that everyone else pay for it, right?Here's my point. Again.
I'm not a car.
Insurance for something that can be bought, burned, destroyed, and then bought again is one thing. But we're talking about a human body.
We can't get another one.
So, the system of having insurance for health along the same lines as insurance for cars, is bullshit.
And lolberals claim others to be detached from reality....lmao.
Exactamondo.
Insurance doesn't change and it's totally unsuited to healthcare.
Firstly, it's unsuited to healthcare because it leads to massive fraud.

Why thieves love America’s health-care system"
Pharma companies are treating it like a cash cow. They gain their money from the US far more than anywhere else.
Doctors are part of the fraud. Handing out pills like crazy, because it makes the pharma companies rich and the doctors get a slice of the pie.
Pharmaceutical spending per capita by country 2017 | Statistic
In the US per capita the US spent the most on pharmaceuticals.
Antidepressant use on the rise in rich countries, OECD finds
"Separate data from the US shows that more than 10% of American adults use the medication. "
Secondly it leads to people not getting healthcare.
You're basically telling me that money is the only thing that counts. If you're not rich enough, screw you. If you were born wrong, screw you. If you get unlucky, screw you, unless you're rich.
The UK govt manages to spend LESS than the US federal govt and yet treats everyone.
So it's basically a case of "you don't have enough money to stay alive. Sorry"
What kind of a society doesn't look after its own people?
But thanks for playing...Johnny has a case of Bardahl for you as a parting gift.
No, I clearly haven't. Seeing as you responded to what I said and what I've said has stayed the same.
Not protecting pre-existing conditions is just another reason why the US healthcare system doesn't work.
I said I'm not a car. Remember? No? That's for playing.
