   @mloxton @laprice If only there were countries civilised enough that nobody needed insurance… I wonder how they’d do it? Oh, wait…

     OK, but health insurance only exists and flourishes because care is exhorbitant and at least 30% of it is waste.

     If care was not immensely profitable and wasteful, nobody would need insurance.

     America, where you can be an iconic superstar athlete with global name recognition but still end up begging strangers to cover your medical costs.
