My point is no matter whether you have insurance or not, if hospitals are overloaded, you will not be treated. Just look at situation in Italy.

Italy here. I agree with your point. Luckily despite the rumors of war like triage we're still treating everybody because we increased capacity. There is a little slow down in new cases today. Still a race between setting up new capacity and hospitalizing people.

Until it all runs out, I'd rather start with a situation where I have health insurances versus a situation where I don't.

In other words, I'd rather try to escape the encroaching fire in a Toyota than a Yugo.

It is good to have insurance. I have one. But when I was trying to reach a doctor during the weekend because I had bad cough and was very worried, I couldn’t get through. The line was overloaded. At that time it hit me that, in case of emergency, different set of rules apply. Having insurance becomes almost irrelevant.

Corona has swamped a lot things.
