You didn't exactly explain why you think insurance companies couldn't exist without a government.
Because there would be no mechanism for redressing breach of contract except taking your business to another company which may well do the exact same thing. In the meantime, the patient's still dying.

I guess I just haven't been able to understand what it is about Capitalism that causes this gap between classes that some folks disagree with.
Because the more money you have, the more you're able to invest, and the more you earn, meaning you've got more money to invest, meaning you earn more ...
And that is greatly simplified.
If I start my own business which turns out being super successful and I make a lot of money, and then I invest that money wisely, and make more money... how is that bad for poor people? Again, it seems like a freedom thing. A person should have the legal right to make money and use that money wisely as to get more money out of it. I don't see what it is about this that is unfair. What exactly am I missing?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
