The most cataclysmic thing that could happen to healthcare would be chronically healthy individuals creating their own health insurance.

Not really (in fact that doesn't even make sense), but in any case, I think you replied to the wrong post. Your reply doesn't seem to have anything to do with the post it replied to
You said enrolling in insurance was a choice. If everyone with a BMI under 22 who did at least an hour of cardio a week had their own health insurance club, they would be doing excellent with cheap premiums and great care, while everyone else drowned in medical debt as their plans collapsed.
The choice right now is all or nothing. There is no choice for healthy people to only share a plan with other healthy people. If there was, everyone else, especially the least healthy, would be totally screwed.
I am still having trouble understand how that pertains to the post to which it replied. Here are those 2 points again:
1. In the US, enrolling in health insurance is currently a choice (I'm can't tell whether your hypothesis about healthy people is agreeing or disagreeing with this point).
2. We don't want Billy to be screwed for life just because he was born to a suboptimal combination of parents.
Would you mind clarifying the connection here, please?
