Insurance has two negatives.  Not only is privatization essentially inviting another taker into the game, but insurance in particular is nothing more than a gambling parlor: I'll bet you don't get sick, while you bet you will.




As with most things, the devil is in the details.  Check out the exclusions page of most insurance policies to see what is not covered.  You'll learn how insurance companies hedge their bets.

But, today I was listening to an interview in which the guy pointed out with the data base being amassed by the likes of Facebook, and other data collectors, on every single person, the bet will be totally rigged before its made.

He used the example of tracking a poster's mouse motions.  The data collector will be able to predict Parkinson's Disease even before the guy knows it.  Mindful that insurance is a betting game, how would you like the odds of betting against that player.
