Seems like a really shitty “fuck you” if all you’re doing is giving insurance companies more money with no benefit whatsoever to your loved ones considering it would be cheaper to pay out of pocket at that point
Yes, you're right, it is probably more beneficial to society to pay out of pocket, but even wealthy people have insurance in this country for a reason. Having insurance gets you better care. I don't like this system anymore than you do, but I have to live in it.
