    Insurance is just a scam to keep people enslaved to jobs for their premiums and coverage. If only quality care wasn’t tied to employers’ insurance we might actually have competition back in the market. Have better products and a livable state of life. As someone on Medicare I can’t afford a 400% increase to my premium after tax credits are slashed in the coming years. Socialism is at least a band aid to our monolithic oppressive capitalist economy.

      friendly reminder that mutual insurance exists, you can just pool your money together with other people to insure each other.

      It’s probably the closest you can get to opting into socialism in a capitalist society.

      Its just privatized socialism, where the rich get subsidized by the poors who have it but cant afford the minimum and co pays to actually use it.
