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

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 89 points 2 months 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

Haven't you heard? For-profit healthcare is coming to a fascist near you!

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 months ago

GDP me harder daddy

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

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 2 months ago

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

[–] cymbal_king@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Flood insurance largely is only government run, it's far too costly for private companies. The flood insurance program started paying for people to not rebuild

And it's a great example of an incredibly stupid and wasteful government program.
