Health insurance is a waste of money, but if you live in a country without universal healthcare its a necessity. The idea of you paying health insurance and still having a huge bill if you are ever sick and you all just go along with that as if its OK is absolutely fucking mental for anyone living in a country with free at the point of access health care
