Or if i get struck down by cancer - never smoked a day in my life, never worked a job that’d expose me to risks - one day it just happens, as it does to thousands of people everyday.

One down side - my ootherwise decent job doesn’t have health coverage -now fighting cancer is pretty damned exspensive.

yup, i’ll just suck it up and sell my house, car, become a burden to my family and friends because there is not central risk devolving insurance pool that i could have afforded to pay into.

Thats unwelcome intrusion. The lump growing somewhere on my body will be magiced away by the pixies while i’m out of a job.

A risk desolving pool that does not turn a profit will create a nation of soft brittle individuals - where as Cancer and the normal accidnets of life are spirit building, because after all, it’s the spirit of the individual that must be in good health, heaven forfend the body actually get treated.
