BAHHHHHHHHHHH....LOL.... God, that's the funniest thing I've ever
read. BY DEFINITION, care is cheaper that coverage in the average
case. You've already told us how the insurance companies have
managed to aquire billions in profits. Where do you think they got
them? They looked at the numbers and realized that for a
sufficiently large group of people the cost of paying that groups
medical bills will be less than the amount that groups members will
be willing to pay on a monthly basis to own a safety net.
