auto insurance is slightly different. if you hit me with your car you have to be able to pay my medial bills. if your sick, its your own problem.
however, i have a feeling that insurance is more being pushed to benefit hospitals, doctors and medical staff than the general public. I can't imagine how many people go into an ER and walk out with a $20k bill that they walk away from, versus if they had insurance a large portion would be paid.
