In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

This is the current system remember we pay for everyone who is uninsured  now.  With single payer national healthcare everyone carries everyone. I am guessing you already knew that but were hoping to fool someone less informed than yourself.
A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain.

The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government. :Thomas Jefferson

Your guess would be wrong but you should direct your criticism of the cartoon to Chuck Asay.

In any risk pool, the less risky participants subsidize the riskier participants. It's simply the nature of risk pooling. Public or Private really makes no difference in this regard.

What a Great Statement from a True Hero Member!  8)
But McBean was quite wrong. I’m quite happy to say.
That the Sneetches got really quite smart on that day.
The day they decided that Sneetches are Sneetches.
And no kind of Sneetch is the best on the beaches.
That day, all the Sneetches forgot about stars and whether
They had one, or not, upon thars
