    You know, maybe we should force healthcare CEOs to be insured with the lowest tier of their own insurance.

      Kinda misses the point because they have their own money to pay for whatever treatments they want, even if their company regularly denies them to clients. Buying insurance is gambling against the house, just health insurance has that extra bit where the insurance companies somehow have a say in what treatments they’ll cover.

      That’s why the rich don’t gaf about ruining public services. They can still just hire someone to do it for them and if the government isn’t providing the service for everyone else, they’ll also need to hire someone to do those things, meaning some capitalist can set up a business to profit from the need the government no longer meets.

        True. I almost forgot you can pay with your own money. When you dont have any disposable income, you don’t even consider that some people can afford to pay for things out of insurance.
