If you get ten random people in a group, four of the ten will have a cancer diagnosis at some point in their life.  But no one knows which four.  So that is one of life's uncertainties.  Are you trying to say that all of the ten people should be saving up money as if a cancer diagnosis is coming?

That's exactly what insurance should cover, catastrophic events.

Right now health 'insurance' pays for routine office visits. This is comparable to having car insurance cover oil changes, or home insurance covering lawn mowing.

If patients were billed directly for routine visits they would become a lot cheaper because people would shop for better prices. With the current health 'insurance' method there's no incentive for one doctor to charge less than any other doctor.
