  I don’t see any fundamental difference in this context. A group of individuals pay into a communal fund and access it when in need.

  Some take more than others, but everyone has a safety net to access.

  You could argue about premiums and co-pays but the model is the same. The only difference is whether it is taken out of taxes or paid directly.

  I apologise if we are approaching this from different viewpoints and I am not understanding properly.

  Insurance is a scam

  I’m assuming you’re in the US.

  Do non profit or cooperative insurance companies exist? They would seem like a less evil option if available.
