Possible implication:

Step one, cancel your health insurance. Step two, get full coverage on your car. Step three, live in your car. Result, actual health insurance that isn't a rip off, costing a $1K/month, having a $6K+ deductible, dictates your medical treatment, frequently refuses to cover needed treatment, and as highlighted here, never pays for damages.

Maybe we should be asking why health insurance doesn't pay for damages. That medical problem doesn't just cost doctors bills, tests, treatments, and medication, it costs you time from work, suffering, lost potential, and quality of life damages as well.

That's a direction of thinking i actually like. Inspiring it is. Hack this fucked up insurance system.

This is completely insane, I never thought I'd find myself defending an insurance company, but how in the fuck does this make sense

This simulation of reality is completely insane. Its flavor surely is more and more. I agree.
