Do you think medical insurance is a money-making scheme?

US medical insurance, the ultimate magic show! It's like they play hide and seek with coverage, offer deductibles taller than NBA players, and speak in insurance jargon that's harder to crack than secret codes.

But here's the real kicker: Prior authorization denials are their favorite disappearing act! "Poof! Denied!" Then, "Abracadabra! Approved!" Just when you thought you needed a PhD in insuranceology, they surprise you. It's a wild ride, folks!

Each year federal agencies receive funding from Congress, known as budgetary resources . In FY 2023, the Department of Defense (DOD) had $2.04 Trillion distributed among its 6 sub-components.

So in the USA it is acceptable for the DOD to be financed to the tune of trillions from the public purse, and nobody thinks of this as socialism or communism. But if the idea of a Universal Healthcare system is proposed, financed by the public purse, then that somehow becomes unacceptable as it smacks of socialism or communism?
