    Doesn’t a protection racket beat you up / destroy your house / damage you in some way if you fail to pay?

    Insurance (either private or public) doesn’t do anything negative to you if you don’t pay, you just don’t get any positive benefits.

    It turns out that calling something a different name is a good idea when it’s literally a different thing.

      In Europe it is very mandatory, by law. Don’t fall for the universal healthcare scam ameribros.
