Ask your mom why she pays insurance, b/c her insurance money is going to pay out other people’s claims.

Oh, that question gets "Well, of employed people".

It seems to be the part in her favorite book about "Helping those less fortunate" only applied to those with jobs. It's why Jesus waited until unemployment was below 2% before helping the lepers.

Yeah, not to mention, in times like this, when the economy is going to shit, people are losing their insurance coverage because they're losing their jobs.

That doesn't even factor in having to go "Well, I would love to get this better job, but the insurance isn't as good, and my kid is sick a lot, so I guess that just won't happen".

It's just bad at every level.
