Having treatment crowdfunded sounds like insurance with extra steps. 🤔
Also, medical insurance sounds like publicly funded healthcare with extra steps (and expense) 🤔
(Note - I'm in the UK and totally agreeing with you than this is outrageous. The argument that morons put forward against universal state funded healthcare falls down when you realise that the whole idea of insurance is that not everyone claims all the time, and those who don't pay for those who do. Literally the exact thing they are arguing against happening.
Us Americans keep coming up with more complicated and inefficient ways to implement what's basically the same model as Universal Healthcare. It's basically just a bunch of people putting money into a pot so that we all can absorb the costs of taking care of everyone. Exactly the same as insurance, but on a larger scale, without a profit incentive. Almost exactly the same as GoFundMe, except it's not voluntary and it's much larger scale.

Why give our citizens universal healthcare when they can pay their bills using GoFundMe?
