@Mandy57 i am sorry if you have had problems with insurance and medical care, but why do you believe they deserve the term scam? I don't want to be too personal, but did someone deceptively take money from you for insurance or medical care?
A scam is a deceptive scheme to trick someone into giving away money or personal information, often by pretending to be a trusted source (like a bank, government agency, or friend) and creating urgency or promising big rewards. Common types include phishing emails, fake job offers, unexpected money prizes, and impersonation scams, utilizing tactics like pressure, threats, and requests for unusual payment methods (gift cards, crypto) to get you to act quickly before you can think.
