1. Exactly, because putting money in to what you can't depend on

isn't even extortion ,it's robbery and murder.

2. How do you pay for assurance?

If you show up for care how is it paid for, assuming you are assured of care?

4. The Same Way It's Done In Every Other Industrialized Nation

The doctor or hospital (of your choice) treats you. The bill is sent to the Feds. The Feds pay the bill. How is it funded? Our taxes pay for it, the same way our taxes currently fund universal police and fire protection, highway construction and maintenance, etc.

It's what societies do. Enlightened ones anyway....

3. FINE - you don't currently have to have health insurance

and I want the government to buy me a house right now as well. I don't have the money for a down payment - I WANT A NICE FREE HOUSE CLOSE TO WORK

8. Come to think of it- there's another area America's become a failure at

Reasonable housing assurance.

The level of homelessness on the US is an international disgrace.
