      Add to that the conflation of health insurance with health care. The former is, at best, a means for the latter. Although the reality is it’s more an obstacle or corruption of it.

      Depends on the country I believe. I’ve got a refund for my sixth eye surgery a couple of months ago thanks to my insurance.

        Correct. I am only referring to the U.S. health insurance industry

        Wow, how do you manage? Like - do they even make glasses for people with that many eyes?
