Paul said buying insurance as an individual was expensive, but suggested allowing individuals to join group policies to “get a way out of that individual conundrum.” A “big group” he said, had the “leverage to demand” more complete coverage at lower prices.
“So why not go for the biggest group of all and just have insurance for everybody?” Burnett asked.
“Socialism’s not a good idea,” Paul responded. “Socialism’s an utter failure.”
He then pointed out the problems in Venezuela, a socialist nation that is currently suffering an economic collapse.
“But you did just make a great argument for nationalized health care,” Burnett said. “You said ‘the bigger the group, the lower the cost,’ so all I’m taking is your argument to its logical conclusion.”
Paul wanted nothing to do with that one.
“I was talking about voluntary groups,” he said. “Not the gulag.”

Suggesting a pooled group of individual insured's, is just like what employers would offer. It would give those like you, that despite the extra hours on the fry stand, that don't work full time, some purchasing power when shopping for insurance.
It's not Socialism.
Fuck that.

Look, burger flippers are a dime a dozen. No one is going to give you shit
In turn, they put up with a tolerable amount of shit. When the shit they don't like outweighs the benefit of the shit they do like, they can fucking LEAVE! whenever they want.
And if they want to bitch too much about the shit they don't like without recognizing the shit the company does give them, the company tells them to LEAVE!.
