    Yeah, that’s called “national insurance”. The point is the concept of insurance is a good idea, it’s only private companies trying to profit from it is what’s the problem.

        Yes, similar concepts are also called single payer healthcare. No, it’s not the only valid terminology.

        Especially that the insurance can pay for other forms of welfare, not just healthcare, and so it would be wrong to call the whole system with a healthcare specific term.
