Things like insurance, home and auto need to government run and not for profit

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 86 points 2 days ago (2 children)

insurance, home and auto

And the biggest one: health

True, sorry, I'm fortunate enough to live in a single payer Healthcare country. Although it desperately needs reform, vision and dental aren't really covered

Don't forget the medication itself!

Single payer insurance of any type pulls from a far larger pool than any company could have, lowering the individual cost and allowing a bigger risk coverage. But... what about all those insurance companies (of all types), as well as other industries that rely on the increased costs? How will they survive? /s

Ahhh I'm sorry! I forgot about the poor shareholders! Forgive me!

I’m beginning to think you don’t love the GDP, citizen

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

GDP me harder daddy

I work in auto insurance and 100% agree. Shocks my coworkers when don't think auto insurance shouldn't be all about profit.

Home insurance should absolutely NOT be government wrong. That's just government sponsored building in flood zones at that point

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I mean they can stop allowing building in flood zones. Home insurance should not be for profit
