[QUOTE="Thebrownblob, post: 6098441, member: 60485"] Insurance is a scam. And it’s even more of a scam when it’s mandated. Insurance companies exist to make money. They also also cause the price of healthcare to go up because hospitals and doctors know they have to ask for twice as much to get what they really want so the price inflates. Imagine the system where you’re going to receive a service that you really don’t know the price and you really can’t shop around for the best deal and services. In a true capitalist market, there would be competition. There is none in healthcare. Not to mention, mandating coverage causes people to have more coverage than they even need or can use. Younger 18- 35ish people really don’t need anything other than a policy that covers some extreme event. They could be paying for doctors visits out of their pocket and getting a better deal as they don’t use the services as much as older. [/QUOTE]
