And the insurance can boot you off, or refuse to cover you if you’re too expensive.

So if you got cancer, and had to spend a million dollars to treat it, your insurance could just go “okay, your treatment is too expensive, we’re not covering that, you’ll have to pay for this yourself”.

It used to be worse. Many years ago, they could outright decide not to cover some medical conditions of yours, deeming them to be “pre-existing”. So if you had diabetes, sorry, that’s a pre-existing condition. We don’t cover those.

Nail in the coffin is that Americans spend more money on healthcare, per capita, than most other countries, without marked improvement in care/outcomes.

It makes sense in war, since people need normalcy. Partaking in Ramadan is a nice grounding thing to do when everything else is exploding, and other normal traditions aren’t on the table. Religion is good for that.

Plus, Ramadan traditionally has exclusions if you’re not able to safely partake, like if you’re very old, very young, or ill. At worst, you simply have to pray for forgiveness for breaking your fast early (similar to if someone made you eat pork without your consent), and make up for it later.
