the painfully obvious - that "healthcare is complicated".

The trick you see is that you must pay in when young and healthy to cover the costs of the older and less healthy so that when you are older and less healthy you get covered.

Very similar to a savings and investment plan - you put in NOW so you are covered LATER.

Actually numbers - I couldn't tell you and I do NOT think it should be comprehensive to cover every last little thing - but by and large pay for general health care and leave more exotic coverage for niche insurance.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
