Health insurance fundamentally is designed to shift the cost of providing health care from those who need it but can't afford it, to those who don't need it but can afford it.

And who might that be, who doesn't need health care, Mr. American Thinker?

Fact is, insurance of any kind, be it auto, home, health, are only there to make profits, and limit their liability and payouts. They do everything in their power to limit settlements, and coverage. They are not your friend, nor are they there to help, regardless of what their commercials with all those smiling faces depict. Smiling faces, sometimes they don't tell.....

Just the way it is.

Actually, the whole concept of insurance in general is extremely responsible, and is set up much like a CO-OP. When joined into voluntarily, insurance allows people to "spread the risk" among a pool of people greater than the probability of the events requiring the insurance. By spreading the risk over a great number of people who will probably not need those services, the vast minority of people who do can be covered for the expenses.

The key is will people participate voluntarily, and will they pay the premiums?
