Are you willing to bet that nothing catastrophic will happen to your health before you are 65?

Yes. I will not let fear rule my life.

That’s monumentally not a good idea

90% of adults will have a chronic condition by the time they are 65.

That data alone invalidates any idea of insurance being sustainable, it's a sinking ship.

I, on the other hand, only eat beef, butter, bacon, and eggs and everything is getting better. BUT, I may be in a cult, but this cult has benefits.


No insurance is viable because the risk pool includes people of all ages.

No, insurance is not viable until we fix metabolic health in the masses.

Again, I'm a nut job that has a HbA1C of 4.7 because I only eat beef, butter, bacon, and eggs.
