I don't care if people get the care they need...as long as they pay for it. Someone who has an eating disorder and is old enough to get a job, should get a job to pay for the health insurance. Someone who is not old enough should have parents who have health insurance.
I hate to burst your perfect world bubble on this....but there are a lot of people with jobs that don't have insurance because their companies will not offer it. getting insurance independently is fucking outrageous because you can be denied for pre-existing conditions such as asthma or even for previous health problems that COULD resurface (cancer, ulcers, etc).
So why should I be paying for and old person that IS DIEING instead of helping people that can actually contribute something more than shitting themselves in a retirement home if they were healthy?
Also, what about children without health care? Do you just want to say fuck them because their parents don't have or can't get insurance? or even worse.....they can't afford it? you can't tell a 5 year old "deal with your broken arm because mommy and daddy can't afford you hospital bills".
Edit: And whether or not you realize it....you already DO pay for those uninsured people. Hospitals forecast how many people will not pay them that year because of no insurance. The forecast for most hospitals is 25%. So, that 25% that the hospitals AREN'T getting paid gets pushed on to the insurance companies payouts. Those insurance companies don't just eat that, they up your premiums. So no matter what you're already paying for the uninsured.
