Low end datapoint: My kids in their 20’s, healthy, report that low-end insurance (the kind you get in between jobs) has doubled.

My kids in their 20s. It is not possessive.

The whole concept of healthy kids in their 20s even seeking health insurance is idiocy. How in the heck do we think we got here over the centuries? By being helpless infants? Free people determine and pay for their own medical care the same way they pay for their homes and cars and food, including insurance markets for risk-type medical needs. And charitable Christian people fund hospitals, some of the finest in the world.

Medicine, aided by government-directed and mandated minimum requirements, an entire marketing demographic exists around marketed and sold medical services advertised as "urgent." Medicine has always done this -- there is nothing new under the sun. Adding government to power and enforce that drive is guaranteed to fail. That is its one certain outcome.

And most Americans, who hold the MSM in extreme contempt on the whole, know it.
