Isn't insurance a burden on society in itself?

It would be more of a burden on society if I had a major illness and 'society' had to pay for my health care rather than my insurance.

Why should society have to pay for your healthcare?

Veritaas: Why should society be responsible for any of its citizens? Take one guess?


Not quite where I was going with this, but we will run with it.

So, does that mean that if I pay for you that I own you?

Restless_Rebel: It is unlawful to drive in the states without Auto Insurance. You will get a ticket.

Home Owners Insurance is a requirement when you take out a mortgage. It insures that if your home burns to the ground(through no fault of your own)or another catastrophe happens, you have the means to rebuild. Renters Insurance is highly recommended by landlords because if the building suffers severe damage from roof collapses, etc., your belongings are not covered.

Life Insurance is not a requirement, but it is highly recommended to pay for your funeral and other outstanding debts you may have upon your demise. You certainly will not care about debts after you are dead, but when they advertise Life Insurance, they usually depict loved ones family members with their head in their hands wondering how to settle up, so to speak.


In the uk you will get your car impounded then crushed if you dont have insurance.

it would be much cheaper for the government to just pay your insurance for you.

WhatUwish4: According to a very in-depth study published this week by the Cato Institute, health care premiums under the new government plan will more than double in the next few years, not to mention lack of universal coverage, huge cuts in coverage, manipulation of doctors, and a horrifying increase to the national deficit AS WELL AS our taxes.

How does that make it any better than free enterprise?


"While the new law will increase the number of Americans with insurance coverage, it falls significantly short of universal coverage. By 2019, roughly 21 million Americans will still be uninsured.

The legislation will cost far more than advertised, more than $2.7 trillion over 10 years of full implementation, and will add $352 billion to the national debt over that period.

Most American workers and businesses will see little or no change in their skyrocketing insurance costs, while millions of others, including younger and healthier workers and those who buy insurance on their own through the non-group market will actually see their premiums go up faster as a result of this legislation.

The new law will increase taxes by more than $669 billion between now and 2019, and the burdens it places on business will significantly reduce economic growth and employment.

While the law contains few direct provisions for rationing care, it nonetheless sets the stage for government rationing and interference with how doctors practice medicine.

Millions of Americans who are happy with their current health insurance will not be able to keep it."


I agree that Obama's health care bill isn't great, and many of us are very disappointed that he caved-in to republicans with tossing out the "public-option" which would have given these insurance companies the "competition" they so badly need ! very mad

Of Course I understood you Juan...You admit that the health care package this administration RAMMED through is flawed, yet you blame it on the Republicans!
