When someone goes to the hospital for healthcare, you pay for that, and pay MUCH more than it would cost for them to go to a doctor and WAY MORE than preventative care would have been in the first place.
Do you want the person who serves your meal to expose you to TB or other illness because they couldn't afford to go to the doctor, couldn't afford to not work and didn't inform their boss so they could keep working?

Young people are as much if not more likely to be involved in an accident. Sudden illnesses can hit anyone regardless of age or recent health. If only older/sick people bought insurance the cost would be astronomical, if available at all.
By your logic of people waiting until they are in need of healthcare before buying insurance, then why not wait on buying car insurance until you have an accident or home insurance until there is damage?
