Amen to that, I would hope so too. If the aspirin I buy didn't have to cover the cost of half a dozen they had to give away, who knows, that $15 aspirin might only cost me $10
(A joke, obviously it will still be outrageous).
Point is, at some point we all will need medical care, and it needs to be more than an afterthought to the oops moment. When I was 31 I ripped my leg off in a sporting accident, the cost of care and rehab to return me to duty was over 6 figures. I was in daily therapy for 13 months. Would your pocket cash cover that? I doubt it. So what, you'll just stay crippled then? Pass your costs off to the taxpayers and insured? You seem like too nice a girl to want to do that. So you bite the bullet and pay into the pool during the years you don't need it, to build it up for the times that you do.
Now, how you are supposed to pay for it is another thing. The average US worker hasn't seen an effective raise since 1975. Instead of bullying healthcare for most, why don't you see about fixing that problem? If you were making a living wage, paying for healthcare wouldn't be an issue.
