Okay, I've already explained tuition. Do you seriously want me to break down to you how health insurance works and why it's a giant cluster fuck?

Simply put, health insurance shouldn't cover routine doctor visits and shit like that, it should be for very serious instances like a serious accident or contracting cancer. The reason health insurance is so expensive is because they do have to cover all that. Which is like expecting your auto insurance provider to cover putting gas in your car or changing your oil or paying for new tires. If that were the case, guess what? Auto insurance is about the get a whole hell of a lot more expensive, just like your health insurance is. Tires are about the get a lot more expensive too, cause fuck it, the insurance company is paying for it.

Then you have the inability to refuse insurance to someone with a pre-existing condition...........why in the hell would you buy an insurance policy if you can just wait until your sick to?! And now the GOP has taken this colossally stupid idea and removed the mandate(which was bullshit anyway, the penalty was cheaper than actually paying for insurance).

Routine doctor visits are a service, just like routine work on your car. Insurance and the government should have no involvement in that, they just make it worse and more expensive.
