I didn’t say they would be. But to pretend American healthcare makes sense is beyond absurd. Workers are already taxed to fund Medicare/-aid (which we can’t access), then we’re also expected to pay private insurance premiums. The best part is that’s de minimis! All that gets you is a pass to get in the door.
Then you have to pay co-pays and coinsurance, and possibly your deductible. We pay SIGNIFICANTLY more than our peers in the wider world for no reason other than greed.
A pyramid scheme is a fraudulent and unsustainable investment pitch that relies on promising unrealistic returns from imaginary investments. The early investors actually get paid those big returns, which leads them to recommend the scheme to others.
SSI relies on MORE people paying now than can be paid out later. So early “investors” get their returns… where newer investors will have little to no hope.
So what do I not know?
Caid/Care has a similar issue. If 100% (or even 20%…) of people paid into it needed it… it couldn’t possibly keep up/pay out.
It’s getting paid from somewhere, by someone. Doctors aren’t just suddenly free because they have universal healthcare.

because it’s a pyramid scheme… Just like SSI is.
I don’t think you know what that word means
Many pay for few… and the majority can never and will never claim it.
