gollark: Not regulated more/differently or something.
gollark: The entire american system for that seems like a terrible system which needs to be totally redesigned.
gollark: What insurance specifically?
gollark: Insurance makes sense in some cases, I think, where you have low-probability high-badness events, insurance for stuff you can pay for out of pocket easily less so, insurance horribly bodged together with tons of bureaucracy and strongly tied to the stuff it's paying for is utter bees.
gollark: I mean, mostly raised in England and also partly by long term internet exposure, so also not particularly Scottish, but whatever.
