The list of things the panelists on 'The View' don't understand is very, very long. So long, in fact, it'd be easier to make a list of things they do understand.
It would be a very short list.
And 'how health insurance works' is not on it.
Whoopi has no idea how health insurance works:

Because that's not how insurance works.
And your annual premiums do not even begin to cover the costs of catastrophic care (never mind the fact if you do routine doctor visits or use meds, your money is spent). It's not just on hospitals.
Idiot…and people take advice from her?

We hope not.
Shes been a millionaire for 40+ years, I am sure she's never even looked at her health insurance.

Not a chance.
A better question is, if I am forced to pay into social security for 40+ years, but die at age 60, why don't my survivors get that money? Why does that money belong to the government? At the very least, it should cover my funeral expenses.

Or why don't we get back a fraction of what we'd put into a private 401(k) or IRA?

Something about 'fair share' or something.

It really is.
I have actually explained how insurance (I used cars) works to my kids because they were curious. So, my 9 y/o literally has a better understanding of this than a View host. How do people watch this show. https://t.co/XlwrGflZO9

It's literally that simple.
"Whoopi has no idea how health insurance works" is one way to put it.
— Eric Spencer (@JustEric) December 14, 2024
"Leftists have no idea how anything works" would be another way. https://t.co/ce6iuGGjI4
Nailed it.
I'm begging people to stop looking to celebrities for policy ideas. https://t.co/WHmGAZtwNv

Please.
This isn’t how insurance works. But if this is the standard, I have some questions about taxes. https://t.co/4It4n3CxBJ

So do we.
Reminder: Whoopi Goldberg once said that Jill Biden should become surgeon-general because she is a doctor. No really, I'm not kidding. She might be dumber than my elliptical. https://t.co/K2LfPZeoGe
— Gad Saad (@GadSaad) December 13, 2024
Your elliptical is offended by the comparison.
Honestly, it's even stupider than that. What's worse is that she is one of only a great many. https://t.co/au7aiJ4dBo

Yeah. The stupidity is not rare.
