It seems kinda a fundamental issue at the root of the problem to me, you know? It seems supremely indicative of collusion.

analogous = related in nature, function, idea...
Health insurance doesn't cover the foods you eat, the party drugs, bad or good stuff you put into your body, the life style you live. That's the oil change in a car.
Insurance (other than health) was created for emergency use only. For that to happen now all general medical costs would have be so cheap the average -non- working person could afford to use them. Then you would only need insurance when something major happens.
