And BTW: Health coverage is incompatible with business practice at
philosophical level. Can you try to make an argumentation why ?
Since you are the one making the claim, the burden of proof rests on
you.
I did it a couple of times, I just wanted to see if you guys learned
something. But no. You prefer to stay stuck in obsolete mythologies and
have no logical arguments.
Here is a quick summart of the issue, I was already posted 2 times but WTH.
Right wingers are slowly to think on their own feet:
"""
There are services into a society that are incompatible with business
practice. Police and armed force is an example. Health care is another one.
At philosophical level, health insurance is incompatible with business
practice. Because the aims of provider and customer are opposite.
In the case of food, the farmer will make more money if he sell more food
while customer will eat better if he is sold more food. There is no
contradiction in interest here. The market can work.
In the case of insurance, the sick people's interest is to get as much care
he need while the interest of insurer is to pay as less as he can. He does
not make money proportional with how much he cover, but with how much he
can avoid to cover for a given premium. We have a contradiction in interest
here. The market can not work properly.
This contradiction is the reason why unless in food industry we have here:
copayment, coinsurance, cap limit, deductible, uncovered expenses,
precondition and so on. They are cheat sheets insurer can use to reduce his
payments.
Let imagine you go to a restaurant
Precondition - At the door the waiter ask you: "Are you hungry?"
You say: "Yes I am, this is the reason I want food". The waiters say:
"Sorry hungry people are NOT eligible to receive any food".
Deductible - You have to bring with you salt, pepper, onion and sugar in
order to be eligible to receive food.
Cap Limit - After one plate you can not receive anymore food from this
restaurant. And of course, if you are still hungry you can not enter in any
another restaurant since you have a precondition.
And so on and so on. If the food industry would behave this way, I would
also say that they are incompatible with business practice. But they do not
because your interest (as hungry man) and their interest (food provider)
are into the same direction: more food.
