In one set of circumstances, a family that could not obtain coverage now can, and contributes premium payments every months to compensate for that coverage.
In the other set of circumstances, the family can't obtain coverage. Something bad happens. Now, instead of having insurance cover it, they go bankrupt. We are all still paying the bills. The only difference that I can see is that in this set of circumstances, the family (a) didn't pay insurance premiums, and (b) was driven into bankruptcy.

What's the win you see in the second scenario?
