    I mean, the state provides public schools, free for all aged ≈5-18, but we don’t call it “education insurance.”

      Did you not see where I said this?

      You just get a whole lot of extras for the premium you pay (like road work, disaster relief, penalizing criminality, etc.).

        OK, they pay “health insurance premiums” and just happen to get the rest of a working state as extras. Got it.

        America brain is so weird sometimes.
