Imprimus: A Short History of American Medical Insurance

Link to source.

Bottom line: Insurance is a lousy way to pay for health care.

Here the basic observation is that creating an artificial pool of money to pay for needs inspires an industry of special interests to form around the pool for the purpose of exploiting it. In the process, the hope of mutual aid becomes stillborn.
