Now if you have insurance, and suddenly find out you have cancer, that is covered. That falls under extreme unexpected problems. Insurance is made to cover people like that, and it will treat you.
Getting deadly cancer had nothing to do with what I was talking about. I am talking about things like people who asthma for their entire life, or diabetics. If you have had that for years, insurance is not for you. Insurance is for unexpected and sudden problems that are unlikely but if they happen would cost you a great amount of money.
Insurance isn't for every day treatment.
As for health care being a service, it is a service. A service that costs money. Someone has to pay. Why should people not getting any benefit from it be paying for you however?
