who(m)ever came up with 'insurance'?
I have mixed feelings on so many real-life implementations of 'insurance'. Almost always borders on 'scam' to me. Shell game at best.
I agree. The first thing insurance does is to isolate the customer from the true cost. Most people think the services they get are for free. In fact, if they don't use the services they think they are being cheated.Few people know who much their X-ray costs but they know exactly how much an oil change costs. The real healthcare reform is when you look the doctor in the eyes and write him a check. Insurance should only be used for catastrophic events that you can't budget for. And it doesn't need 1900 pages to say it.
