The best system is one that keeps us healthy. That involves better diet and lifestyle, not more medical care. The more money you throw at the medical system, the worse it gets.
OK, but don't have cancer, a stroke, any of a hundred ailments involving internal organs, or a major accident requiring surgeries and rehab.
No worries. Better diet and lifestyle prevent cancer, stroke, etc.
Quote:The purpose for insurance is to cover unexpected or preexisting conditions with a structure that permits the affected to get affordable care. Everybody for himself is not an answer, so pick an option that is. There are easily 25 of 30 decent models in use somewhere.
Pick whatever option you want, as long as you pay for it yourself instead of trying to get others to pay for you.
