Conceivably, if you were a part of organized health care system, you
would be less of a drag on the society's medical system.


I can not see how that would happen. Assuming he had the same medical
problems, he would have had the same treatment and would be the same
cost or drag to society's medical system.

If he were part of an insured community, he would be contributing to the
pool from which everyone in that insurance cohort may or may not draw,
depending on whether they have a health care need. He would be contributing
whether or not he needed the service himself. That's insurance.

As an uninsured individual, he put the entire burden on the rest of
society -- specifically, on California's three-tiered, taxpayer-funded
health care system for the uninsured. One of those three tiers is federal,
so all of us paid taxes to support it.

Finding a way to contribute to a health care insurance system can be tough,
but there are many support systems available that help with the burden. Not
doing so is simple irresponsibility that shifts the entire burden onto the
rest of us.
