30. I don't have health insurance.

Tue Jan 7, 2025, 06:45 PM

Jan 7

I have a joke that claims to be health insurance. And, even that will be gone soon enough due to inability to pay. Hell, we may be homeless in a few months the way things are going. There is no help out there. I have looked.

Anyway, I was responding to the person who mentioned that they wanted to know how to make it 'go away'. I offered a suggestion. If you do not approve of it, whatever. However, I was referring to all insurance. Like the kind you have to have to get a drivers license. Or the kind you have to have to run a business. Or the kind you have to have to build a house. There are plenty of instances where insurance is required by law. Since that is the case, one will never be able to get rid of it without getting rid of the 'safety net' that mandatory compulsion affords.

I hope that helps.
