>In short, you're implicitly mooching off society, and apparently proud of it. You managed to get away without actually triggering it, so far, but you were pushing a lot of financial risk onto other people. (Ignore this if you are, in fact, a millionaire.)

Smooching off society is a good thing. In fact, everyone should do it. It's called universal health care.

UHC is not the same as 'mooching off society'. The money required to keep UHC working doesn't appear by magic - it's done through the contributions of everyone via taxes. In short, everyone contributes towards it, and everyone gets to use it when needed. That isn't mooching - it's spreading costs across society.
