What if, instead of having private health insurance, we pool all those premiums into one big community fund and whenever anyone needs medical treatments, it is paid using this pool of money?

The amazing thing is that the more participants you get paying into a single system, the less the cost for each is while covering everyone for anything. And yet some people are against this idea, who aren't even the ones getting rich from the current system.

They don't want the 'wrong' people to benefit.

They're also afraid of it becoming slow, as if it isn't already. They buy into the propaganda that you have to wait 3 years to get seen for a cold.
