PainTrain you miss the point entirely. It is fine for a doctor and a nurse etc. to make a profit providing health care. Insurance companies do not provide health care to anyone. The act as gate keepers to stand between you and your doctor in exchange for a 30% cut of the fees.
Bill's point seems to be that certain things we need should not be contingent on how much money you have. If the fire department operated that way your house would burn down while you fought your way through the flames to find your insurance documents. The police would not even bother to respond to any burglary because you should have insurance to pay for the loss and their time is too valuable to be bothered with protecting your property. If you are too poor for insurance then you probably don't have anything worth replacing...right?
