> health insurance to get proper treatment, support and medication Health insurance is mis-named: it is not a health care product meant to provide health care; it is a financial product, meant to smooth the cost of health care. It should probably be called health care cost insurance. Providing the indigent with health care is a different thing from health insurance. Mandating that the mentally ill receive treatment is a different thing from health insurance. Health insurance is just that: insurance against a financial catastrophe.
