Well, if car insurers can raise your premiums for having an accident, why can't they raise them for getting sick? Makes sense! After all, it's your fault for not staying healthy.
Yeah,gotta find a way to screw the user.
Given that system, it would be more reasonable to invest your monthly health insurance payments and hope you don't get sick before they grow large enough to cover your healthcare. Which of course brings more money to the big corps and the government.
And, of course, if you don't have money to invest, tough shit. Poor people don't deserve to live according to our brand of capitalism.
Yep,great way to get rid of a goodly number of the 99%.
Hey, it will increase equality! If you kill the poor, then everyone left is richer.
Other methods of reducing inequality: Eat the rich; Tax the church; Prosecute white-collar crime.
