private insurers are part of the state for the purpose of how it is presented in the comment i replied to. very much so. irrevocably so. in no sense are they NOT part of the state in that context. they are entwined in the legislative process. they own and operate the capital that makes an entire industry operate in our system, the state we live in. they rule, in a very real sense.
this is the pretty much the most base level of theory here so it doesnt surprise me that a lemmy user doesnt get it and is trying to “by your logic” me on this. ya’ll stay ignorant

It should be a part of the state, but it’s privatized.
no, its part of the state.

Then I obviously need some suggestions on theory to read, because I didn’t know that.
