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

It is when it is mandatory, not otherwise.

@Cierzo Even when it isn't mandatory. It's just spreading the cost and risk out over the entire membership. The community is just the body of customers instead of all citizens, but it's still the same in principle. You're thrown into a risk pool with strangers and the unfortunate ones get everyone's money.

@Xuan12 Maybe you are right. That's the difference from choosing to live in a socialist community, like a kibbutz, which I find totally acceptable, and forced socialism, which is hell on earth.
