Because the number one reason? EVERYONE thinks they are "healthy" and don't need health insurance which spreads around the risk to everyone.
That is until they need insurance and care and then suddenly they BEG the government or insurance for help.
Everyone says they aren't overweight or have any issues when 35% are obese. So where are all these people?
It's like why people don't want to pay taxes and complain. Then if there is a fire they are grateful for the fire department. Or borrowing books from the library.
People in the US keep thinking they are independent islands and don't need to help anyone else or will ever need a hand. Smaller government, less taxes, no health insurance by employers. Capitalism at it's finest.
Honestly? All we'll see is the rich can afford care, the poor will get care and the middle class will cease to exist.
