ucodegen
ParticipantUcodegen mentioned he is “basically” self-insured. Although I don’t know the details, I would guess he does not mean that literally.
Wrong, literally/actually/for real… in liquid assets. I hope this is now clear..
Did anyone try the ‘little exercise’ I mentioned? Take and sum up all the payments you have made into ‘health insurance’ and apply an inside rate of return?.. or would you rather take pot-shots at people.

Guest[quote=jpinpb]I know Italy provides healthcare to all. I’ve heard mixed things about it, but I do know there is no insurance involved. You can buy additional health insurance if you want to go to private doctors who are not government doctors.[/quote]
That’s exactly right. Even with socialized, government run medicine, like they have in Italy, there is no rationing of health care.
People and employers are still free to buy additional insurance. Or they are free to pay out of pocket.
I hear that in Europe doctors still do house calls.

No offense intended. Wish we could all afford to keep enough liquid assets to cover all health needs. In an imperfect world we do need health insurance. I am not a fan of how it is run — in the least — but was trying to point out the necessity of coming to an agreement on how to cover the costs for at least most of the people.March 23, 2010 at 1:44 PM #529990Anonymous
