I did. Again: I’m asking what benefit private health insurance has, not what benefit health insurance has. I explained myself clearly.

Car insurance makes sense as a private market— though it’s a government-mandated private market— for a wide variety of reasons. It’s a very, very dissimilar market to health insurance, and I don’t think comparisons between them are very helpful— they mainly just bog down into saying, “Well, this part’s different, and this part”.

My question is: What benefit do private health insurers bring to the table, versus public health insurers?
