I resent it.

This about this: all of the money that collectively gets paid to insurance companies doesn't really get spread around to pay for the needs of the insurance holders, it just gets used up in salaries.

I like the old fashioned idea where communities took care of each other. What if every member of your extended family didn't pay insurance, but put that money in a collective family pot instead? Then when emergencies happen, the needed money is taken out of the pot to cover the bills. If someone is repeatedly doing something sloppy and 'asking for it' I am sure the family would be more than happy to correct the stupid behavior (like building a house along the banks of the Mississippi or drag racing).
