    Unemployment insurance is insurance too so I wouldn’t apply for that as a matter of principle.

      Good thing it’s typically mandated by state law. You don’t have a choice when it’s deducted from your paycheck in most cases, and you’re automatically enrolled. (In some states and situations, it’s paid for by the employers). Whether you ever take advantage of that is another matter.

      However, that’s irrelevant. All you’ve done here is demonstrate poor decision-making skills, and a profound misunderstanding of the concepts of both insurance and gambling.

          Then that’s foolish, but not really relevant to this discussion about health insurance… Unless your point is to illustrate that you have no real idea about what insurance is or how it works.

            My point here is something else entirely, but you wouldn’t understand.

              Since you haven’t managed to make your point in nearly a dozen comments on this subject…. I doubt that

              Unless you’re saying that you wasted all this time discussing something other than your point, in which case… why?

                  Coming from the person who doesn’t “get” what insurance is or the meaning of the word “gambling” means until I had to post the definition from a dictionary.

                    I’m talking about being against gambling and you are trying to define gambling as doing anything because it might have an outcome - this isn’t a good-faith stance in this conversation which we are having.
