Slots over time - 90% of 90% of 90%...and eventually almost all will lose.
Medical insurance it is also a gamble of sorts, especially if you are low risk, relatively young and healthy. But when you 'win' with HC insurance, that is not a good thing.

I’m a big winner thanks to the wife’s hypoxic brain injury. Somehow it doesn’t feel like winning.
I had dam* good Insurance till Obamacare passed and caused it to go up 250% and the deductible to jump to $6000.
Glad someone is enjoying their subsidies that's costing many of us out the azz.
And I'd didn't get to keep my doctor or get my $2500 discount.
Lies, all lies.
I agree that O'care isn't that great for a lot of people. Wish Obama could have gotten single payer but I'm sure he and the other Dems knew it wouldn't fly.
For those that are curious, an insurance policy is sold once per year.
A slot machine is played many thousands or tens of thousands of times in a year.
Thus a person sitting down with $100 for an hour or so will eventually be reduced on average to $0.
This thread would be like arguing against having a soda machine at your business because it costs $500 but only makes 50 cents on a sale and thus loses you $499.50.
Makes me wish I could put some posters on double-ignore lol.

There are some good aspects of O-care, but being too chicken-sh*t to possibly anger young voters and having a penalty phase in slower than a dead sloth drove rates through the roof for many people as they had to foot the bill for all those that got big subsidies or had chronic illness.
In short, it screwed a lot of middle class people in order to not anger young voters.
The ACA required that at least 80% of health insurance premiums went to healthcare. The CEOs of the health insurance companies had no choice but to raise premiums so that these CEOs could continue to enjoy their multi-million dollar/year salaries. It was the insurance companies who raised your rates.
You made the assertion. Prove that those variables had the most, or even had a more than negligible effect on rates.

Check out how your health insurance company CEO is enjoying your contribution!
The way you phrased that.....sounds like someone who is getting a subsidy.
Rakin and I are each paying 100% of our premiums. We aren't getting subsidies.

Some people don't like footing that bill on principle, irrespective of whether their income is $1 over getting any subsidy or they are UHNW individuals.

I hear your point.
Every form of social insurance has some degree of that.
Heck, even private insurance like auto insurance has you "footing the bill" for others.
Uninsured\Underinsured motorist coverage for example or of course various surcharges tucked into the rates to pay for assigned risk etc. drivers depending on state.
