Health insurance is just socialism wrapped in a Capitalism label.

Luigi Mangione, the suspect accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City last week, was not a customer of the private health insurer, but police say he had identified the company as one of the largest corporations in America in his “manifesto” writings.
Neither Mangione nor his mother were insured by UnitedHealthcare, the nation’s largest private health insurer, a UnitedHealth Group spokesperson told CNN.
“We have no indication that he was ever a client of United Healthcare, but he does make mention that it is the fifth largest corporation in America, which would make it the largest healthcare organization in America. So that’s possibly why he targeted that company,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said in an interview with NBC New York.

That's somewhat true with Obamacare. But insurance as a whole is just managing risk. But you know that.

It’s managing risk, but it’s also the law of large numbers. Our premiums pay for others’ health care. In other words, spread the wealth.

Obamacare, and Hillary's meddling years before have privatized the profits and socialized the cost; and the results.

Look at your premium as a tax.
