    Health care insurance should be handled by governments, or alternatively by law by non profit foundations

      Usually, things handled by governments suck in orthogonal ways to private companies. Private companies suck due to greed. State owned stuff sucks due to incompetence.

      Where I live, we have a state owned insurance company, but others are allowed to compete with it. Optimistically, they competing with each other making all of them better. Pessimistically, you choose the one that sucks least from your point of view. Either way, better than any proposed alternative.

        Right. Because healthcare in other countries like Canada, the UK, and European countries are so terribly run compared to US healthcare.

          So you are afraid of it being too good? Sure, most countries are better than the US…

          European countries

          I am literally explaining how it works in some European countries.
