        It would make sense if health insurance just covered hospitalizations, catastrophic diseases, etc. But it’s required for any healthcare to be affordable and healthcare is a necessity.

        Its like a subscription model, but worse because you don’t actually know what will be included (covered) or denied.

      Insurance is a company that takes small amounts of money monthly in the event of a large expense that you are unable to pay for. Then they don’t give you all the money to cover the expense. -At least not without a fight. They take ~7% of your money for this service.
