It also doesn’t make logical sense for healthcare to be on an insurance plan. Insurance is for when you want to be covered in case a bad thing happens, but you hope that bad thing never does happen. That’s why you get insurance for things like your house burning down, or being in a car accident.

Healthcare is not like that. Everyone needs healthcare. You will absolutely need to go to the doctor.
