whether that's actually a good thing or not is a completely different topic, that should probably be left to philosophers and academics...

More people paying into the pool, provides lower costs for those conditions. If everyone with Epilepsy, MS, etc could get the medications/chairs, etc, all of the crap would be cheaper. Getting people in with this conditions, sooner... brings the cost way down - preventive medicine/care is one of the best ways to lower healthcare costs.
If "everyone" was paying in - you would be paying less. Just like on average, you pay more for Insurance right now and care... than the average Canadian does in taxes or any nation with a solid social medical system.
