I didn't want or need health insurance. And neither did 99.9% of the people that were in my age group.
I can't imagine where I would have gotten the extra money to buy health insurance on top of everything else when I was 20 years old.

So when you were in college had you been in an automobile accident requiring a long hospital stay you would have expected the rest of us to pay for it?
One accident or illness can wipe out even the best of planned savings. No one should have to go bankrupt because they got injured or sick.
