Pooling everybody's money so that the ones who are unfortunate get money to help with their situation definitely is a product. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Is there a nonprofit insurance company?
Healthcare provided publically can be thought of as nonprofit insurance.
Medi-caid.
Sounds like something everyone should have
No argument from me. Although Medicare/Medicaid is generally not a great insurance.
Yeah I have a partner that has it and she has MS took her 6 years to approved her for a life time injection.
Yes, but they're fake.
This is my favorite answer so far
Kaiser Permanente to an extent, same with BCBS- though they also have a lot of for-profit affiliates. There are also a fair number of local non-profit insurers
Idk Chief
Like Mozilla, the parent company is not-for-profit with for-profit subsidiaries
How do they make money? Honestly I don't even know how Mozilla works with out Google paying them.
There are. They are also state-run. But they are mostly in former soviet republics.
