All insurance is socialism.

It's a bunch of people, paying into a fund that he neediest members get. If you oppose socializing insurance, just don't carry insurance, because that's exactly what it is. Heck, when I say it out loud, it's more than socialist, it's Communist! XD

Insurance started in England and Holland waaay back in the 1500's. It started as bets, taken privately in clubs, that ships would or would not make it through their voyages. It was a bet....done for fun by extremely wealthy men.

@4meAndyou Today it's just communism with a for-profit middleman.

@Xuan12 As a former insurance agent, I can assure you that all insurance is a bet...a bet on how long you will be able to pay before you need to call in your benefits. Hence actuarial tables, used by insurance companies to hedge their bets, and pre-qualifying health questionaires. It has more to do with organized crime than it does with communism.

@4meAndyou A lot of people referred to communism as organized crime. XD

@Xuan12 True that. Putins communism, at the very least.
