That means that everyone in the country pays for healthcare through
their taxes, and everyone in the country gets healthcare.
What is wrong with:
"Everyone pays for the health insurance plan that thyey choose, and
everyone gets healthcare."
There's nothing theoretically wrong with that, except that for a
family of four in NY, the going price is $700 to $1000 per month, and
if you're above a certain income level, there's nothing cheaper. It's
$700, or nothing. You can be above the income level to qualify for
the state's cheaper plan, but still be unable to afford the $700.

The other problem, at least for me, is the math. Let's say you buy
health insurance because you're afraid of having to deal with a worst
case situation, like cancer. Could the bills total a quarter of a
million dollars for that illness? More, maybe? So, I pay $600 per
month (single person) for health coverage to deal with that
eventuality - let's call it a quarter million, even though I don't
know if that's accurate. At the same time, I pay about $100 a month
for life insurance with the same benefit - a quarter million.

What's wrong here?
Life insurance pays your inheritors when you die, unless you have
whole life.

Health insurance covers your bills, assuming you survive.

Life insurance is really a sucker's bet. The insurance company is
betting that you will live...and you're betting that you'll die.



Term Life makes sense for those you support financially, Whole Life is a
suckers bet.

I have $1.5 million in term life. Almost 2/3 of that is pledged to debt.





Ahh, I forgot. You are Mr. Leveraged.

That's Mr. Leveraged-to-the-hilt to you.
