We’re already paying for them. You think those without insurance don’t show up in ERs? Of course they do.
There is a large population of young people who work and are healthy. Anyone over 18 and working should be in the medical insurance system. They are mistaken when they believe they do not need health insurance. No one is immortal.
Why?
The attitude that every medical expense, no matter how minor, must be paid by someone else through insurance, is a large part of why health care costs are so high to begin with. Moving to a model where only catastrophic illnesses/injuries are covered would reduce the costs--in fact, is the only way to reduce the costs, both of insurance and of health care.
Take your repetition of the Obamacare party line somewhere else.
The problem for the young people who are the backbone of support this financially due to their good health is that this will be exactly like social security and medicare, e.g., bankrupted by the time they really need it. Another unfunded Obligation if you look at actuary tables.
