        Also also, regulatory capture.

      Actual insurance is crowdfunded as well depending on how you look at it. The premiums provide the funds for claim payment, the profit is pulled from that by denying as many claims as possible.

      Actual insurance could work if it was handled by a nonprofit. Or, you know, the government.
