You are so wrong with that statement.

Dude, I (my tax money) don't want to pay for you. There is no free ride on this.
OBSTINATE look the word up.
Unless you are on public assistance, or on Medicaid provided at taxpayer expense by the Obamacare law, you have to pay one way or another -- or the federal government (my tax dollars) pays a settlement for your care as an indigent when the hospital cannot collect.
You know what indigent means? A have not, a bum -- is that you?
If you want to play healthcare roulette, put your money on the wood including all your assets. If you are lucky, an unpaid major medical expense may just ruin your credit for 10 years -- if its a real big expense you will have to file bankruptcy to avoid paying the debt.
Or you can die and take your money with you or leave it to your survivors forsaking any medical help when you are injured or sick.
Yeah, it's fucked up but that is the fucking way it is in the USA.
