xianc78@anemone @djsumdog @teratology For-profit health insurance is a symptom, not a problem. You used to be able to voluntarily form clubs and groups in which everyone pitched in and the money would be used to cover the cost if a member was hospitalized. This is no longer legal outside of religious groups.
So health insurance companies will continue to exist for as long as the clubs that I've mentioned are outlawed.
