I mean, that's how it works. That's how it's supposed to work. That's why a SPHC system- with the largest pool possible, and everyone paid in through the tax code- makes the most sense. Evens out the bumps to the maximum possible extent.

It's only because we have this fuck-jockeyed Ayn Randian crap shoehorned into our national psyche, that we've got people going "Heyyyyy! I don't wanna pay for someone else!"

Guess what, Jack- if you have insurance, you ARE paying for someone else. Your allergic reaction to the thought of funding someone "undeserving" is beside the point.

(in case it's not obvious, I'm arguing with an imaginary teabagger, here, and not anyone in this thread. )

And it's also why- even though I think health is important, exercise is important, good nutrition is important and not doing detrimental stuff like smoking- all important, all good life advice- but to go down the rabbit hole of picking and choosing which groups or which behaviors or which illnesses don't "deserve" to be funded... it's inane.

Put everyone in the pool. Let them all pay in, let them all benefit. It's the most fair, and simplest answer.
