The odds are much better for automobile coverage, as the failure
to adhere to rules or best practices tends to to forfeit the
life of the insured. Failure to adhere to rules or best
practices involving health decisions means you just get fat,
cancer, destroy your brain, or kill primary organs such as
kidneys, liver etc..
In other words, being a drug addict slug welfare turd, means
higher costs for insurance companies and everyone else because
you don't care about yourself. You'd be doing society a favor
by killing yourself.
> Insurance is insurance, even for property and casualty.
No it's not. Homeowners are more responsible people, They work
to own a home and protect their investment. If you are black
and like to burn your house down during the course of a riot,
your rates will go through the roof and you won't be able to get
insurance at all. If you live in an area where natural
disasters such as hurricances, tornados, or earthquakes are
common, you will pay much higher premiums.

Certainly was. Right after the insurance companies and corrupt
Democrat donor doctors sucked up all the available federal funds
that coincidentally ran out just as Obama was leaving office.

It was designed to be an enrichment conduit for Democrat donors.

It failed as soon as it was passed.

By choice. The good thing is most won't live long enough to be
burdens.

Democrats and their nation destroying illegal immigration /
refugees caused this mess.
