      What do you think of it Ax? I find it difficult to sit through 20 minutes of John Oliver wanking his audience about how much smarter they are than the rest of the culture.

      Education is extremely important.

        To his credit, he doesn't take the show seriously and has emphatically stated every time he's asked that it's not a news show and no one should take it seriously. Which I don't think is ass-covering, I think he's serious.

          I sat through about 90 seconds.

            There are many ways to avoid buying real healthcare insurance, none of them are good.

            What’s intriguing is the notion of getting health insurance cheaply, for example an ACA bronze plan and then a ministry plan to cover the big deductible, coinsurance and maximum out of pocket limits. But not sure how that works because the ministry plans don’t seem to cover anything routine or preventative.

              Half his audience probably watch because they think he has a sophisticated accent. Birmingham, I ask you...

              I was only joking

                😄 Yeah we're weird about that. Be just as accurate to take Paul Hogan as some kind of yuppie.

                  At first I thought it said 'Health Care Sharing Misery' and I was like, yeah, we do that already.

                    Haven't hear much about "health care sharing ministry" for a long while, then this shows up:

                    https://www.propublica.org/article/liberty-healthshare-healthcare-sharing-ministries-obamacare

                    Reports of deception/fraud, lawsuits, lots of unpaid medical bills ... big mess.

                        I’ve always thought they were doomed to fail, it sits right at the intersection of adverse selection and the tragedy of the commons.

                        If you don't take it, it can only good happen.
