    That’s fair, and yeah I’m all in for replacing the health insurance system with single payer, but I find it difficult to picture a better system for car based risks without removing cars from the equation. The alternatives involve pushing some of the financial costs of driving onto people who create less of these costs. It’s why bad drivers have to get more expensive insurance and may struggle to get insured by the medium or low cost insurers.

    Additionally home insurance is rapidly becoming more frustrating to people in many places thanks to climate change. The actuarial tables don’t lie, and seeing as destructive weather events are making many places more prone to disaster, insurers are going to find themselves taking the emotional blame, especially when many people refuse to believe that the climate has changed.
