That amounts to receiving an endless lifetime supply of birdcage liners and hamster bedding. There is no such thing as debtors prison here, I don't know about your country. What 'procecution' is there for a deadbeat debtor? Get on the bad credit list? Oh boy!

Actually I don't see that. I'd be more of a case of the insurance companies not forking more. I'd bet a dime to a dollar your individual rates would not decrease but the insurance companies would be turning a more tiddy profit.
For me, I'll just keep getting carted into hospitals when I fuk myself up mountain biking or whatever, they'll fix me up and I'll file their bills in File 13.
And, once again, I will thank my Uncle Sam and the American Taxpayer.
Healthcare based on capitalism, as you suggest with private healthcare, would see me die.
Socialised healthcare, as I would advocate for, is based on..... health. Making people whole again.
I just wouldn't be very comfortable with the Ferengi in charge of my healthcare.
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.
