Apparently, some people want to buy them.

That's how capitalism works. No one is forcing anybody to buy it, unlike Social Security, Medicare, 0bamacare, and health insurance in general. (among other Gub'mint mandates)

I like capitalism. I just want us to do more to help the poor.

There should be smart ways we can do more to help the poor, without reverting to ineffective socialist ideas like they have in NY.

It seems like Trump is exploiting his position as US president for financial gain. Some democrat politicians do that too.
