Things like insurance, home and auto need to government run and not for profit
And the biggest one: health
True, sorry, I'm fortunate enough to live in a single payer Healthcare country. Although it desperately needs reform, vision and dental aren't really covered
can't look at bad teeth if you don't have any eyes!
Annnnnd if you can't eat, you'll die so you don't need to see anything anyway!
I thought were were against US health policy?
Haven't you heard? For-profit healthcare is coming to a fascist near you!
Don't forget the medication itself!
Single payer insurance of any type pulls from a far larger pool than any company could have, lowering the individual cost and allowing a bigger risk coverage. But... what about all those insurance companies (of all types), as well as other industries that rely on the increased costs? How will they survive? /s
Ahhh I'm sorry! I forgot about the poor shareholders! Forgive me!
I’m beginning to think you don’t love the GDP, citizen
GDP me harder daddy
I work in auto insurance and 100% agree. Shocks my coworkers when don't think auto insurance shouldn't be all about profit.
Home insurance should absolutely NOT be government wrong. That's just government sponsored building in flood zones at that point
I mean they can stop allowing building in flood zones. Home insurance should not be for profit
Flood insurance largely is only government run, it's far too costly for private companies. The flood insurance program started paying for people to not rebuild
And it's a great example of an incredibly stupid and wasteful government program.
