I have always considered Insurance to be the biggest scam to have ever hit humanity. Just looking at some basic tenets of it like:
1. Collect money from people based on the idea that they will help people out in troubling times.
2. Make it extremely hard for people to get money back in troubling times and raise payments when people do despite the fact that they have already put a lot of money in.
3. Get laws passed that make it mandatory for everybody to carry insurance for various things.
For the general public, insurance is nothing but a lose lose situation. If insurance companie's gave out more money than they took in, they would ofcourse be out of business, so the objective is to take more money than give out and they do this exceptionally well.
With that being noted, one nagging thought that pops in my mind is how much the Insurance aspect truly plays a role in the issue of Homosexual Marriages. It is no secret, although it is not discussed half as much as other aspects surrounding this issue, that insurence, especially health insurance, is a pretty major issue when it come to Homosexual Marriages due to the fact that Health Insurance companies give discount rates for families, more so than individuals. I truly wonder how much money insurance companies stand to lose if Homosexual Marriages were recognized on a national scale in the U.S.. I would need to do some research on this but I wonder how many other counties that have leaglized same sex marriage have government run health insurance as opposed to private health insurance? I wouldn't be suprised in the least to find that a majority of the counties that have legalized same sex marriage do indeed have government run health insurance. And to state that insurance companies have legislatures in their pockets would not be to illogical of a conclusion given the facts in the U.S.. To further emphasize this point I can almost swear that I heard on the radio about two straight men who got married in the U.S. to recieve insurance discounts. I tried to look for the article but couldn't find it.
With this being noted I wonder how strong of an aspect Insurance truly is when it comes to the issue of same sex marriages in the U.S. as opposed to the religious aspect. And yet the concentration seems to be on the religious aspect. There have been many deaths and wars fought because of agenda's hidden by religious convictions played upon the general public by various leaders. While, as a Christian, I have taken a stand on the issue of homosexuality due to religious conviction, I can't help but wonder if the same has happened in this issue due to insurance company agendas and if that is the case, I wonder why more hasn't been stated about this aspect? Are both side just being side tracked here to avoid the real issues? That would make more sense to me than religious oppression in this day and age in the U.S..
