What if, instead of having private health insurance, we pool all those premiums into one big community fund and whenever anyone needs medical treatments, it is paid using this pool of money?

Almost like if there was was one giant super doctor company that was required by law to provide medical treatment for everyone and it could leverage economies scale and its market power to negotiate better prices and wellness outcomes.

I don't agree with socialism, even if it makes my life better... no, especially if it makes someone else's life better. That's cOmMuNisM.
