Yep the issue with our system is that people who never see a doctor or a hospital pay for the ones that have been dealt a rough hand or live unhealthy. The idea is that being ill is not the standard. You should be able to do a Pareto analysis of costs and it might check out.

I wouldn’t call it an issue, though, more like working as intended. I have no problem with paying for state health contributions even though I don’t use the services that much myself. Because it brings up the overall health for everyone around me which also benefits me indirectly. Think of it as an investment.
