No, it isn't. It's the reason health insurance isn't insurance. Literally everyone will at some point come down with an emergency or life-threatening condition, and 100% of us will eventually die of one. It's not insurance if it's going to happen to you.

That doesn't make it innovating. Cloning a system that works elsewhere isn't innovation. Get over the "forced tax funded" nonsense too, unless you want to relinquish all social services like education, fire, water, etc.
