> Engaging consensually in a business transaction Healthcare is not a business.

  If it's provided by other people who are not themselves enslaved, it absolutely is. Maybe a state-subsidized one, but money is changing hands for services whether it comes out of your pocket or not. Further, we're not talking about healthcare. We're talking about de-risking potential future financial liability by purchasing insurance. Insurance is absolutely a business.

Let me see: - we're in the comments section to "World Health Organization: List of Essential Medicines" - dicsussing denying people healthcare based on invasive monitoring of their activities Yes. We're definitely talking about healthcare. > Insurance is absolutely a business. It definitely is. Especially in the states. And in case of healthcare it definitely shouldn't be. And it definitely shouldn't be advocated for.
