[QUOTE="Psudopod, post: 58565846, member: 145576"] Which is exactly the same as insurance: you're spreading the risk and the cost of an individual over a larger group. The difference with a public system is that you take out the profit, and you don't deny people access to healthcare on the basis of their income or current health. And yes, it puts an obligation on the state to encourage people to be healthy, but then this is in everyone's interest on a purely selfish financal basis because a healthy person is more likely to be a productive person and therefore paying tax into the system. It also means you don't write off a person because they've made a foolish mistake in their past. All of which is getting off the topic of Michelle Bachmann and her poor scientific thinking. [/QUOTE]
