2. That's one way. But, not likely to change anyone's mind. n/t

3. Tell people about the benefits of guaranteed medical care

for all people. For the over-40 crowd, explain that an added benefit to them is that more jobs will now be open to them because
employers won't fear the high cost of providing medical insurance for anyone over 35.

7. That's a very reasonable and rational solution.

However, we're not dealing with people open to logic; they've been brainwashed.

I'd rather see your way, but doubtful it would happen on a large scale.

Thank you for posting.

4. My grandfather always said:

"I don't need insurance- if I collect on it, that means something bad has happened to me, if I don't, then I've thrown my money away- either way I'm betting against myself, and "insured" that I'm the loser".

(My Grandfather was a Family Physician with a private rural practice from the turn of the century till he stopped actively seeing patients in the 1960's.- no malpractice insurance- no auto insurance- no homeowners insurance- no life insurance. not something that he could have done in today's world, but he lived his 94yrs. and raised 5 children without every being sued, or going without)

Insurance- profit making insurance as opposed to a pool, or an alliance which people enter into and have access to- is a pretty terrible concept imo. Especially when it comes to 'health' care-

5. Very, very interesting.

I've personally known doctors (actually, relatives of mine) who treated poor patients for free because they didn't want the hassles
of what they considered to be onerous paperwork in order to get paid.

I agree with your grandfather's thinking and I also agree with your point about insurance-for-profit as opposed to a pool.
